even the bass vocal, which he said he had to drink large amounts of whiskey to deepen his voice for.

Jerrod Niemann's rendition of 'Lover, Lover' (a cover of Sonia Dada's 'You Don't Treat Me No Good') includes nine backing vocal parts.

Alan Jackson sings most of his own backing vocals.

Since Cindy rejoined the band in 1998, she has performed the harmonies for this album's songs as originally intended. On the tour for the album, guest vocalist Julee Cruise performed the harmonies Cindy would have performed. Kate Pierson therefore double-tracked her vocals, recording both sets of harmonies for the album. However, at this time, Cindy was having time off to raise her daughters and did not wish to be a main member of the band for the album. One of their trademarks is the vocal harmonies of Kate Pierson and Cindy Wilson. In live shows, these backing vocals are still provided by the percussionists.

While Slipknot have proper backing vocalists in the form of their percussionists, some songs have lead vocalist Corey Taylor's vocals overlap with one another.

'The Dooright Family' also has him using different vocal deliveries to mimic an entire family gospel group, which participates in some back-and-forth dialogue and harmonizing.

Country/comedy artist Ray Stevens commonly sang his own backing vocals in falsetto to emulate a female trio singing behind him, and sometimes added a bass backing vocal as well (most notably on 'Turn Your Radio On').

Billy Joel sang all of the backing vocals in 'The Longest Time.'.

On top of the main vocal part, singers Michael Gira and Devendra Banhart recorded over twenty more backing tracks, most of them wordless improvisations on the main melody, all of which appear on the final recording.

Another (somewhat less) extreme example is 'Sunset Park' from Angels Of Light's album Everything Is Good Here/Please Come Home.She sings all of them individually too instead of copying and pasting them in the studio. Nearly every piece written by Enya: on one track, that's over 500 vocal parts.

Marilyn Manson does this enough that you start to think that Marilyn Manson's favorite singer is Marilyn Manson.Andrej Bukas does this in Seryoga for a really poignant effect.Despite focusing on comedy - what a voice!!

He put his own vocals through a 'harmonizer' so Tim and Graeme wouldn't tell the difference. Bill Oddie of The Goodies used to work into the night to replace Graeme Garden and Tim Brooke-Taylor's backing vocals.
