Former band members guesting on albums?

Tom Johnston singing background vocals on the Doobie Brothers Don't Stop To Watch The Wheels on Minute By Minute.

 

A post-Fairport Richard Thompson appeared on their 1985 album, ‘Gladys’ Leap.’ Maybe more. I’m sure he showed up on various live albums with the group.

 

Kevin Godley - who even sang one lead vocal - and Lol Creme were 'guests' on 10cc album 'Meanwhile...' - it was a Polydor contract filling thing but at the time there were no big issues - G and C had earlier directed the music video of 10cc's single 'Feel The Love'

G & C sang backing vocals while Kevin Godley took a guest lead vocal on 'The Night The Stars Didn't Show' and made a vocal snippet between songs saying;

'I am from Polydor records how are you enjoying the album so far...?"

 

He sang on it

 

Paul Carrack returned to recreate his vocal on “Tempted” for the 2010 Squeeze album ‘Spot The Difference.’

 

Drake Levin on Spirit Of '67

 

Mick Ronson guesting on Bowie's 1994 album on the cover of I feel free.

 

He also plays some guitar on Night Watch from the PENGUIN album. I guess that was during the time Bob Welch talked about the piece of cheese being in Peter’s beard for several days.

 

Mick Avory of The Kinks guested on some of Kinks albums after Dave Davies made him quit. Funny thing is, he played on Dave’s Rock n Roll Cities on Think Visual.

 

Grace Slick was finding her way back to Jefferson Starship with this one:

 

Was it a new vocal? Sorry, I can't remember

 

sorry for being off-topic but I gotta hear this story, anyone care to clue me in?

 

I'd cite Marty Balin coming back for Jefferson Startship's "Caroline", although he ended up joining again it was a guest slot at the time.

 

Mick Taylor on Sweet Summer Sun, specifically playing on Midnight Rambler, and acoustic on Satisfaction, by The Rolling Stones.

Can I cheat and say Taylor playing on I Could've Stood You Up on Keith's solo Talk Is Cheap ?

 

Rick Dufay guested on a track on Aerosmith's Music from Another Dimension.

 

Lindsey Buckingham played acoustic guitar on Fleetwood Mac's "Behind the Mask" on Behind the Mask, and sang backing vocals on "Nothing Without You" on Time.

 

Lindsey Buckingham appears on both Behind the Mask (guitar on the title track) and Time (backing vocals on Nothing Without You) as well as Paper Doll from the box set in 1992. Interestingly enough, that means Lindsey has appeared on every FM album since 1975. Stevie didn't guest on Time.

Christine McVie appears on Bleed to Love Her and Steal Tour Heart Away from Say You Will. That was sort of unintentional as they were recorded prior to The Dance for a Buckingham solo album and were repurposed.

 

Just listened to a couple. Alvin Lee & Mylon LeFevre On The Road To Freedom with Traffic participating and Alexis Korner & Snape Accidentally Born In New Orleans with members of King Crimson.

 

David Palmer sang backup vocals on Countdown To Ecstasy after he'd officially left Steely Dan.

John Coltrane played on two tracks of Miles Davis Someday My Prince Will Come, the year after having left Davis to form his own quartet.

 

Probably happened on Frank Zappa albums a lot.

Only one I'll throw out for starters is Jimmy Carl Black on "Harder Than Your Husband" on You Are What You Is.

 

Kendra Smith of The Dream Syndicate appearing on their 2017 album how did I find myself here?

 

Trevor Horn on Yes' 90125 and Fly From Here, producing and doing some vocals.

 

Wendy & Lisa are on Prince's Planet Earth.

Dee Dee appears on the Ramones' Adios Amigos.

Bruce Palmer (Buffalo Springfield) rejoined Neil Young on Trans.

All of the classic RTF lineup reunited for one track on Chick Corea's Touchstone.

 

Craig Fuller with Little Feat in Join the Band. Janis with Big Brother did some backing vocals post CT.

 

Never knew Lindsey was on Paper Doll...very cool...singing or playing guitar? I haven't listened to it in decades.
