Thought this topic might provide us with interesting music trivia knowledge to impress others with. Here are a couple -
Marc Bolan of T Rex fame played guitar on ELO's Ma Ma Ma Belle. This is one of ELO's early songs before they began adding full orchestras.
Ma Ma Ma Belle
The Oak Ridge Boys sang back up on Paul Simon's Slip Slidin' Away.

Neither artist is listed in the credits.

Bernard Purdie has maintained for years that he played drums on one of the later Beatles albums. The information is so detailed that I almost believe him. For those of you who don't know, Purdie was the top studio drummer in New York for years, playing on hundreds of hit records.
Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Timothy Schmidt sang back up on Steely Dan's "FM"
Les Dudek claims he co wrote "Jessica"
Larry Knectel played bass on the Doors stuff....no credit.
Stevie Wonder played on Elton Johns' "Guess that's why they call it the Blues"
Phil Collins sang on Howard Jones' "No One To Blame"

Jerry Garcia gave an interview one time were he said there was like 100 songs/albums he had played on and wasnt credited.
He was very involved with Jefferson airplane early on. Because of record label conflicts he was credited as "musical and spiritual advisor" on the back of Surrealistic pillow.
He also played pedal steel guitar on lots of albums for folks. Teach your children by Crosby, Stills & Nash comes to mind as a classic song few knew he played on.

quote:In other words, he overdubbed drum tracks to some pre-EMI "Beat Brothers" tracks b/c Pete Best (NOT Ringo) was deemed inadequate.
In a 1978 interview, Purdie claimed to have added drum overdubs to "several [tracks] of the Beatles' Hamburg recording" with Tony Sheridan, including "Ain't She Sweet", "Take Out Some Insurance On Me Baby" and "Sweet Georgia Brown" to give them a punchier sound for the US market

As the year wound down, Page applied his six-string skills to several songs that took hold not only in England, but in America as well. The first of these was Tom Jones’s massive hit “It’s Not Unusual,” which saw Page deliver steady, straightforward rhythm guitar. That session was followed by contributions to a cachet of songs that have since become classic-rock staples. At the behest of producer Shel Talmy, Page played “at least a couple of riffs” on The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me” and “All Day and All of the Night.” (Note: the fiery solo on the former song was recorded by Dave Davies.) Page also played on Van Morrison and Them’s “Gloria,” “Here Comes the Night,” and “Baby Please Don’t Go,” though to what extent no one is certain.
Later in December, Talmy summoned Page back into the studio to “strengthen up” the riffs to The Who’s “I Can’t Explain.” Page also played scorching lead on that song’s B-side, “Bald-Headed Woman.” Other noteworthy Page contributions that year include an appearance on Marianne Faithfull’s “As Tears Go By,” and showing Keith Richards the solo that Richards employed on the Stones’ “Heart of Stone.”
