Notable Mentions:

John sings backing vocals on a performance of "Johnny B. Goode" when he had Chuck Berry on as a guest while John and Yoko were hosting The Mike Douglas Show in 1972.  They also sing "Memphis, Tennessee" together on that same show.   Elton John sings along with John in "Whatever Gets You Through the Night," but you have to listen carefully to distinguish their voices.  John Lennon's seems to be higher in the mix.  Paul sings background on a song he wrote and Johnny Cash performs called "New Moon over Jamaica" that is on Cash's album, Water from the Wells of Home.  Paul also sings background vocals on Brian Wilson's "A Friend like You" from Wilson's album, Gettin' in over My Head.  Paul sings background on Lindsay Pagano's cover of Paul's song "So Bad."  Paul also sings background on Ringo's "Walk with You" from the album, Y Not.
