and recordings. Lead singers who record backing vocals In the recording studio, some lead singers record their own backing vocals by overdubbing with a multitrack recording system, record his or her own backing vocals, then recording the lead part over them. Some lead vocalists prefer this approach because multiple parts recorded by the same singer blend well. A famous example overdubbing is Freddie Mercury's multipart intro to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Other artists who have recorded multitrack lead and backing vocals include Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, Tom DeLonge of Blink-182 and Angels and Airwaves, Wednesday 13 in his own band and Murderdolls, Ian Gillan of Deep Purple, Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco, Simon Le Bon of Duran Duran, and Brad Delp of Boston. With the exception of a few songs on each album, Michael Jackson, Prince, Dan Fogelberg, Eddie Rabbitt, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, and Richard Marx sing all of the background vocals for their songs. Robert Smith of the Cure sings his own backing vocals in the studio, and doesn't use backing vocalists when performing live. Uncredited backing vocals Prominent vocalists who provide backing vocals in other artists' recordings are often uncredited to avoid conflicts with their own recording agreements, and for other reasons. Examples include: "Roll with Me, Henry" by Etta James, which includes Richard Berry, author of "Louie Louie", performing the role of Henry. Sam Cooke's "Bring It On Home to Me", with vocal "echo" responses by Lou Rawls. John Lennon and Paul McCartney on the Rolling Stones' "We Love You". Ronnie Spector on Eddie Money's "Take Me Home Tonight", from the Ronettes' 1963 hit "Be My Baby". Mick Jagger doing background vocals on Carly Simon's recording of "You're So Vain", which led to the erroneous theory that the song was about Jagger. Paul McCartney as one of the background revellers on Donovan's 1966 "Mellow Yellow". (Contrary to popular belief, McCartney does not whisper "quite rightly" in the chorus, but Donovan himself). Andrew Gold's "Never Let Her Slip Away", with harmony vocals by Freddie Mercury. Jonathan Richman's "The Neighbors", featuring Jody Ross. Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me", with backing vocals by Jermaine Jackson and Michael Jackson. "Bad Blood" by Neil Sedaka, with backing vocals by Elton John. Patti LaBelle on Kanye West's "Roses" from the album Late Registration. She said the liner notes were already printed when she lent her vocals to the track. Usher's
