Favorite songs with female background vocals with male singing lead

Always been a sucker for songs with female background vocals with a male lead singer. Even more so when they are non-vibrato background vocals echoing the chorus.
I'd Really Love to See You Tonight - Dan England/John Ford Coley - 3rd Chorus
Magnet and Steel - Walter Egan
Rainy Days and Mondays - The Carpenters
Secret - OMD
Appetite - Prefab Sprout
Smokey Mountain Rain - Ronnie Milsap
The 70s seemed to be when many of these type of songs were released. Any favorites that fit this criteria?

Isn't this a female lead?
My mistake. The background vocal is so good though.

Probably Up - Lawrence
Not sure if you've heard of Lawrence, but they're pretty solid all around. Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but thought it might work.

Gimme Shelter came to mind first. Also, ZS is correct - John and Exene sound great together.
Also add Pixies - probably Gigantic or Debaser.

I'm not a huge John Waite or Baby's fan, but this song flat kicks arse in part because of the female background singers.
"Everytime I Think Of You" - Live
