A zombie this old and no one has mentioned my favorite -

The song “Toy Soldiers” by Martika featured a few of her Kids Incorporated castmates, most notably including Fergie and Jennifer Love Hewitt on backing vocals.

How could I have forgotten this one: The Stones’ _Dandelion_, recorded on (two of) the same dates as _We Love You_, apparently also features Lennon & McCartney on backing vocals although it’s never been confirmed.
