Inspired by a recent tangent in the "things you were embarrassingly old when you learned them" thread, what are some example of lead singers putting their egos aside and singing in the background for another artist? There's gotta be a thread for this already, but if not, yay!
Here are a few examples:Iggy Pop - "The Passenger" - David BowieTV On The Radio - "Province" - David BowiePeter Gabriel - "Games Without Frontiers" - Kate BushCarly Simon - "You're So Vain" - Mick JaggerSuperchunk - "Erasure" - Stephin Merritt & Katie Crutchfield

― plant a twee or die (morrisp), Thursday, 29 November 2018 23:14 (five years ago) link
It's hard to think of examples of true "backing" vocals, as opposed to "featured" vocals (like even Sting on that Dire Straits song feels more like a feature to me, even though it wasn't titled "Money for Nothing (feat. Sting)").

he'd done this on "vegetables" by the beach boys.
I just went round to the studio because they invited me. I just thought it would be fun to sit there and watch them record, ‘cause I’m a big fan. And so I was there, and then it was, I think, Brian who came over and said, ‘Oh Paul, got a favor to ask: would you mind recording something?’ I thought, ‘Oh, no! But great, I could do that!' Oh God, I’m gonna be singing on a Beach Boys record or something, you know! I got a bit kind of intimidated and thought, 'Okay, here goes nothing'. And they said, ‘Well, what we want you to do is go in there and just munch!’ … Well, I can do that! So, if you hear somebody munching celery, that’s me![10]

Does this count?
"The Longest Time" is a doo-wop single by Billy Joel. The song was released as a single in 1984 as the fourth single from the 1983 album An Innocent Man. Following the theme of the album in paying tribute to Joel's musical influences, the song is presented in the style of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. It reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart. In the United Kingdom the song reached number 25 on the UK Singles Chart.The song features Joel on lead vocals and all backing vocals. Two musical instruments are present in the song: a bass guitar and a snare drum being played with brushes. When the song is covered by vocal groups, the bass part is typically sung. All other sounds in the song are Joel's vocals, along with percussive sounds such as finger snaps and hand claps. Phil Ramone and Joel had intended to feature a vocal group but Joel recorded each of the parts himself.

Lindsay Pagano - So Bad (ft. Paul McCartney)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQgLrQRaXIY
a literal nobody who was best known for appearing in an AOL commercial in 2001
Pagano was recording the album at the same Los Angeles studio where McCartney was recording Driving Rain when he introduced himself and asked to hear some of her music."I played him some, and he was dancing all around the studio," Pagano recalled. "Everyone was freaking out that it was Paul McCartney, and I would be like, 'Oh, I just saw Paul. Whatever.' He just became a regular person. He asked how the album was doing one day, and I said, 'Well, I'm just looking for a really simple acoustic song for the end of the album, just to end it.' And he said, 'Well, I wrote this song called 'So Bad,' which I think would go really good with your voice.' I laid down a rough track, and when I came back to work on it again, I hear this vocal in the back, and it's Paul's vocal. He was singing on it as kind of a surprise. So it became a duet."
