Ok this pick is kind of different and I'll tell you why. I was rewatching the Talking Heads movie Stop Making Sense and enjoying how much fun they were having on stage. So I looked up who the background singers were. I already knew all of the other musicians and most of their family connections. For example I have a great Bernie Worrell pick that I still need to post on this site. And wow, both of them have a great list of people they played with as well as their own projects. Ednah Holt, for instance, played on her own and with Starluv. And she was in The Ritchie Family. Lynn Mabry sang with Sly Stone, Parliament-Funkadelic, Brides of Funkenstein, George Michael and ended up being in business with Sheila E. This list just scratches the surface of who they toured with, but even Stevie Nicks is on the list. Anyway here is my pick of the beginning of your search. Starting with a Stop Making Sense track .They really do look like they are having fun in the movie. And yet it doesn't look like they sang together anywhere else but there.
