How about singers that are hired by bands to do vocals on albums and on tour?

Along those lines,an interesting tidbit - Luther Vandross was a backup singer for Utopia on tour in '76. I have a bootleg from that tour and you can pick his voice out easily. This was , of course, before he was "Luther Vandross". Vandross also sang backups on David Bowie's 'Young Americans".

Like Chaka Khan doing b/g's on Chicago's Take Me Back To Chicago, though she had been in Rufus for a while by then.
