And, of course, Bowie sang backing vocals on Iggy's "The Idiot" and "Lust for Life." (In addition to playing on, producing, and co-writing most of the songs)

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Have you got a reliable reference for that? Can't find anything.

The Shadows did their own version not long after the original, but everything points to it being Alan Caddy. Besides, there's a good chance Hank Marvin would've been under contract, and therefore not available.

Got that info years ago.
Source said HM had to keep it quiet and got the idea to do their own version as a result. Could be a complete load of you know what and someone was winding me up. Probably was Alan Caddy.

Bowie sung on the backing of Lulus version of Bowie’s Man Who Sold the World

Bowie sang backing vocals, played the sax, and produced it, and, was sleeping with the singer, allegedly.

 

[Buzzer]

Sandy Denny (maybe not all that famous) on Led Zeppelin's Battle of Evermore

Sandy Denny not famous? If there was ever an encyclopaedia of British folk music, her name ould be cross-referenced throughout.
