Hidden Treasures - Songs with Guest Musicians

This weekly playlist is a nice respite for me, its a chance to disconnect and let myself sink into the music I love, and though I know it doesn't get listened to by many, I do appreciate those who do and take the time to acknowledge it. Just wanted to say that because its been hard to get this time lately and when I finally got it, I loved it...

This week were going to hear songs that have guest musicians on them. Not really sure why the list worked out this way, i.e. 3 English bands and one Canadian, but it did. And so it is what it is. It was fun looking these up and funner hearing them with new ears. So whether you already knew these songs contained input from others or not, its still fun to listen and pick out the contribution What other cool songs feature guest musicians?

	Bachman Turner Overdrive Head On 1975 1 - Take It Like a Man This song features Little Richard on piano and backup vocals. Little Richard also played on the band's far less successful "Stay Alive." The song was co-written by C.F. "Fred" Turner and Blair Thornton. Before Little Richard's piano solo at the end, Turner can be heard shouting "Play it, Richard!"
	Mott The Hoople All The Young Dudes 1972 2 - All The Young Dudes This was written and produced by David Bowie. Mott The Hoople had a cult following in England and Bowie was a big fan. The problem was, they weren't selling many albums and were about to break up. Bowie heard about their impending breakup when Mott bass player Pete Overend Watts called looking for work, and in an effort to keep the band together, he offered to produce their next album and provide them with a song he was working on. The challenge was getting Mott in the studio to record the song, since they had alienated their record label, Island. Bowie got them some time at Olympic Studios in London in the middle of the night, and that's where they recorded the song. Besides producing the track, Bowie played guitar, sang backup, and clapped.
	The Rolling Stones Tattoo You 1981 3 - Slave Originally recorded at the Black And Blue sessions in 1974, this song went on for a while and was called "The Black And Blue Jam" before being reworked for Tattoo You. Jazz great Sonny Rollins was brought in to play sax. Also, Pete Townshend from The Who sang backup. The original version recorded in 1974 featured Billy Preston on organ, Jeff Beck on guitar, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Their parts were erased when it was reworked.
	Queen Innuendo 1991 4 - Innuenedo Yes guitarist Steve Howe played the Spanish guitar solo in the middle because, admittedly, Brian May couldn't do it. Steve dropped by in the studio to say hi to producer David Richards, then Freddie invited him to join them on the track. Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor wrote the lyrics to this song as a tribute to Led Zeppelin. When Robert Plant joined the three surviving members of Queen at Freddie Mercury's memorial concert at Wembley Stadium, they played a full version of this song, which included parts of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and "Thank You."
