Songs Credited To A Group "Featuring" A Memeber Of That Group

Wham! feat. George Michael
The Isley Brothers feat. Ronald Isley

You'd think the Osmonds or Jacksons would've done this, but I can't think of any examples.

The Supremes With Diana Ross

Black Sabbath feat. Tony Iommi on Seventh Star

Teddy Pendegrass left Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes because they wouldn't change their name to "Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes featuring Teddy Pendergrass"

Ditto David Ruffin/the Temptations

Wham! feat. George Michael

Black Sabbath feat. Tony Iommi on Seventh Star

believe i read that it was intended to be an Iommi solo album but then was branded as black sabbath for marketing purposes

therefore excluding it from the "solo albums where someone other than the solo artist sings on every track" category

My memory tells me they got called "Donny and the Osmonds" on the Andy Williams show.

when was this a thing

agreed

if this is Careless Whisper then sorry to break it to you but the US is not the entire world

Rod Torfulson's Armada featuring Herman Menderchuk

haha oh n/a already posted that

Do,

Tusk, produced by Fleetwood Mac (with special thanks to Lindsey Buckingham)

Carl & The Passions: So Tough, produced by Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love, Alan Jardine, Blondie Chaplin, and Ricky Fataar. Especially Carl.

Count?

I mean, they're albums but still a similar thing going on

Usually when I see this it means the label is preparing for the "featured" artist for a solo career.

Yeah, I remember being amuzed by "Wham! featuring George Michael", which I guess means that Andrew Ridgeley was Wham!

Also see this alot when an early-career album from a band that has someone in it who later became famous gets reissued - most often though this wasn't the real name of the band at the time. i.e. Nils Lofgren and Grin, or Steampacket featuring Rod Stewart, or Gram Parsons' International Submarine Band. Some of those aren't what the bands are typically called even today, but the record companies love to shout out the name of the famous guy in the little-known early group.

Oh, I have some original LPs by the Four Seasons featuring Frankie Valli

George Carlin - An Evening with Wally Londo Featuring Bill Slaszo

"Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger" were credited for that version they did of the Slumdog Millionaire song

Gottle O'Geer (credited to "Fairport" and to "Fairport Featuring Dave Swarbrick" in the US) is the eleventh studio album by English folk rock band Fairport Convention. The album was released through Island Records in May 1976.

The departure of Sandy Denny, Trevor Lucas and Jerry Donahue following Rising for the Moon in 1975 left Fairport Convention reduced to Dave Swarbrick, Dave Pegg, and Bruce Rowland, and contractually obliged to produce one more album for Island Records. This album was the result, and Allmusic described it as "listless".

The venture was originally intended to be a solo album for Swarbrick, who later said of it: "Gottle O'Geer, I would like to say once and for all was not ever supposed to be a Fairport album. It was to be my solo album, and I wish, along with most other people, that it had remained that way. Chris Blackwell, who to my mind is the richest, clueless, most unscrupulous pillock it was ever my misfortune to meet, had other ideas." As such, the basic lineup of Swarbrick and rhythm section was augmented by numerous guest appearances.

lol this "with" bs is really indefensible

Maze feat. Frankie Beverley

i mean, are there any Maze records that don't feature Frankie B given that the band was basically him ?

Dave Edmunds' Rockpile featuring Nick Lowe.

(and two other people)

Not "featuring" but this cover shot (which doesn't feature any of the other band members) gives a pretty strong indication that Merchant was well on her way to a solo career by this time. Also the announcer kicks off by saying "please welcome Natalie and 10,000 Maniacs".

Shed Seven featuring Rick Witter

Buzzcocks featuring Howard Devoto (on represses of Spiral Scratch, does that count?)

Neil Young and Crazy Horse, featuring Neil Young

Rufus were simply Rufus until their fourth album Rufus featuring Chaka Kahn.

Similarly Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine

11 Double Trouble & The Rebel MC : Just Keep Rockin May 1989
3 Rebel MC & Double Trouble : Street Tuff Oct 1989
20 Rebel MC : Better World Mar 1990
21 Double Trouble : Love Don't Live Here Anymore Jun 1990
20 Rebel MC featuring Tenor Fly & Barrington Levy : Tribal Base Jun 1991

How it goes.

Swollen Members had a few songs that featured Moka Only during the various phases where he wasn't offically part of the group.

possibly relevant thread to cross reference: songs/albums by solo or side projects that are eventually absorbed into the main band's canon

It isn't really the same thing, I guess, but I can never get my head around bands / "with" artists etc. For example when did The Stooges properly become Iggy & The Stooges. also WTF is going on with The Modern Lovers / Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers?

For me, it is more aesthetically pleasing to speak of The Stooges, or The Modern Lovers. But I guess this may make pedants ker-azy.

Probably lots of doo wop groups!

For the Modern Lovers i think it was because almost the entire band besides Richman changed for their second album (which was the first billed that way)

Diddy is a member of the group Dirty Money, but since he has more name recognition than the group their album was awkwardly credited to "Diddy - Dirty Money"
