Chaka Khan should also be featured on Stephen Bishop's "Save It For A Rainy Day". Also Chicago's "Take Me Back To Chicago" though it didn't make the Top 40. Also on Quincy Jones' Top 40 hit from 1978 "Stuff Like That". Quincy Jones had several other songs with artists on lead vocals that were not credited, including: "I'll Be Good To You" - the 1989 remake of the Brothers Johnson classic, which featured Ray Charles and Chaka Kahn on lead vocals. "Ai No Corrida" - featured vocals by Dune. Another song that I don't believe gave credit to the lead vocalist: "Just the Two of Us" was credited only to sax player Grover Washington, Jr., though the vocals were sung entirely by Bill Withers. And how about "Is It You" by Lee Rittenhour, with vocals from Bill Champlin and Eric Tagg (apparently I'm on a 1981 kick here...) |

Not according to Whitburn’s Top Pop Singles. “That’s What Friends Are For” isn’t counted towards Stevie Wonder’s nine #1s or Elton John’s eight #1s. Then I submit that Elton John, Stevie Wonder, and Gladys Knight all should have been given "featured" credit. They were as much of that song as Dionne was. I have the 45RPM single; they WERE given featured credit. |

I have the 45RPM single; they WERE given featured credit. Mostly, on the record itself there is far more room for all the credited acts to be included. What the chart itself referred to as Dionne & Friends, on the 45 itself (Arista 9422) as well as its picture-sleeve it was: ‘Dionne & Friends featuring Elton John, Gladys Knight and Stevie Wonder’, though not all the same typeset/font size. But by the standards of the 45 itself “Diamonds” (on A&M) also explicitly said “Herb Alpert Lead & Background Vocals by Janet Jackson & Lisa Keith” as in here: www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=4122950Another example: Quincy Jones “Ai No Corrida” had “Quincy Jones Featuring the vocals of Dune” as in here: www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2408046 but not on the Hot 100 itself….and countless other examples. |

Maybe our country expert Brian can help me out on this one. What about Valentine by Jim Brickman? The entire song was sung by Martina McBride w/o Martina getting credit for it. Never made the top 40. I am not sure where it peaked on the country charts.

I am not sure where it peaked on the country charts. Let me go ahead and answer this. Basically the answer lies within the dates and charts you’re referring to. Unlike what Wiki says in this article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentine_(Martina_McBride_song)This song actually first charted-just in time for Valentine’s Day season- in AC chart on Feb-1-1997 (#21) and was credited to Jim Brickman only as a ‘Windham Hill album cut’ (Windham being one of the biggest new age music labels). This was okay because Jim Brickman’s album was the only place you could actually find this song, before it was included on any Martina McBride album. Three weeks later the same track being picked up by country radio, entered the country chart (also like AC chart an airplay Chart only) on Feb-22-1997 at #69. This was obviously because of Martina McBride (already an established country star) inclusion on the cut, not because of Jim Brickman’s new age piano. Beginning that week, Billboard decided to change the billing to “Jim Brickman with Martina McBride”, not only for the country chart but also (to be in sync) for the AC list as well. (BTW, for weekending Feb-22-1997, its AC rank was #8.) So, basically for the first time, after this date Martina McBride was given credit and equal billing with Jim Brickman. The cut disappeared from the country chart after 4 consecutive weeks (on its 4th week for weekending Mar-15-1997, it dropped to #75 in the Top 75 Country list) and didn’t show up in the country chart again until it re-entered at #54 for weekending Jan-31-98. But at this time, it re-entered with a new credit: ‘Martina McBride with special guest artist Jim Brickman’, just like the credit on her recently released single indicated (RCA 64963). And on this 2nd run, it was the single that was being referred to on the country chart, not the album track. (Meanwhile, on the AC chart, the album cut note remained the same for its entire AC chart-run that lasted consecutively 28 weeks on that Top 25 list.) Now the only other chart “Valentine” appeared on was the Hot 100; and that was as a single not as an album cut (at this time the Hot 100 was still a singles chart and airplay-only songs were excluded.) In fact, the single itself first appeared on its A-side (“A Broken Wing” credited solely to McBride) at #87 on Oct-4-1997; only a month later the flip-side “Valentine” took over (#53 for the weekending Nov-1-1997) credited to again Martina McBride with special guest artist Jim Brickman, for the rest of its Hot 100-run. Note: You can see all the above dates Billboard issues thru google books. Peak positions: -AC-#3 (for weekending March 29 & April 5, 1997) -Country (first run:#53 for weekending March 1, 1997 & second run: #9 for weekending April 11, 1998) -Hot 100 #50 (for weekending Nov. 22, 1997) This is the single CD image, the single was also released as 45” vinyl and cassette-single. www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=4575533 |

You are an expert on this topic. Good stuff. |

Is Michael McDonald the "T Pain of AT40" ??
Besides Ride Like the Wind and Let Me Go, Love, there was Lauren Wood's Please Don't Leave/ Amy Holland's How Do I Survive/ Kenny Loggins' This is It.
I'm not sure if he was ever "officially" in Steely Dan when Peg hit with his vocals all over it.

As I understand it, Steely Dan was officially a band with a full lineup of members up through 1974. Most of the members other than Donald F. [full last name gets censored by proboards] and Walter Becker were constantly changing, however, and there were issues around Donald and Walter wanting to spend time in the studio rather than touring (which likely cut down on the other members' income potential). So starting with their 1975 album Katy Lied, Steely Dan became a duo, with Donald and Walter the only official members.
If the above is correct, then, McDonald was an official member of Steely Dan at the time of their 1974 album Pretzel Logic, but was not an official member on any subsequent Steely Dan album, because no one other than Donald and Walter was (McDonald appeared on all four of the studio albums Steely Dan made between 1975 and 1980). At least one other person who was an official member of Steely Dan before 1975, guitarist Denny Dias, also continued to appear on the (now) duo's albums after 1975.

Went through the list to see if this was listed but I really doubted it would be. So, as Casey indicated in this week's 70s show.....
"Disco Duck"...Rick Dees featuring Ken Pruitt and of course his cast of idiots!

HOLD ME TILL THE MORNING COMES by Paul Anka, Peter Cetera is vividly featured singing the chorus, and this was probably the reason this got airplay, but he isnt billed
Also Jim Steinman's ROCK'N'ROLL DREAMS COME THROUGH, Roy Dodd was the vocalist, but Casey always mention Steinman.
What about Elton John for Neil Sedaka's STEPPIN OUT and BAD BLOOD?
