Merry Clayton sang vocals with Mick Jagger on "Gimmie Shelter". Bette Davis, ex-wife of Miles, put out a few albums in the 70's. "They Say I'm Different" was one title. I honestly can't think of any more. Macy Gray?

Pink Floyd usually toured with 3 female backing vocalists. Below is concert footage showing all 3 women doing solos in the same song. (Two of the three ladies are Black.)

Great Gig in the Sky


I would guess he means lead vocals. A lot of bands have/had black back up singers.


I only wanted to add Pink Floyd, since people were talking about vocalists who worked with The Who and Led Zeppelin.

Take a look at my link though, it is a very entertaining concert clip.


Clare Torry was the lead vocalist on The Great Gig in the Sky.


And if you type "Mabel" + "Perkins" + "guitar" into google, you will get this thread and nothing more. Of course those of us who know gus already knew that.
