Inspired by a Nick Rogers Facebook post tonight about Glass Tiger, I decided to make a list of possible questions for a trivia night category. As you might know, Glass Tiger had the help of fellow Canadian Bryan Adams singing backup on their 1986 hit, “Don’t Forget Me (When I’m Gone)“. I was able to track down a few other well-known artists who provided backup vocals on hit songs. These may turn into a category someday, so take notes:
- “Peg” by Steely Dan – Michael McDonald
- “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross – Michael McDonald
- “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell – Michael Jackson
- “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon – Mick Jagger
- “Money For Nothing” by Dire Straits – Sting
- “Take Me Home Tonight” by Eddie Money – Ronnie Spector
- “My Life” by Billy Joel – Peter Cetera
- “Electric Blue” by Icehouse – John Oates
- “Gold” by John Stewart – Stevie Nicks
- “Part Time Lover” by Stevie Wonder – Luther Vandross
- “Galileo” by Indigo Girls – Jackson Browne
- “Heart of Gold” by Neil Young – Linda Ronstadt & James Taylor
- “Lay Down Sally” by Eric Clapton – Dolly Parton
- “Tempted” by Squeeze – Elvis Costello
Can you think of any more?
