Quite a few corrections, bear with me here...

Syd Barrett does not sing on "Corporal Clegg" or "It Would Be So Nice," but producer Norman Smith does (he's also heard on "Remember A Day"). This is according to Nick Mason's book Inside Out. Smith probably also appears on "A Saucerful of Secrets" and "See Saw," but this is conjecture.

Someone speaks a few words of "Candy and a Currant Bun" and "Apples and Oranges," perhaps it's Syd but I think it's more likely to be Nick. Plus you can very clearly hear Rick's harmony vocals on "Candy" and "Bike." It's also said that Roger and Nick sing backup on "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play" but I can't verify this, nor hear any trace of it.

Roger whisper-sings backup vocals on "Matilda Mother" and "Let There Be More Light" (which does not feature Syd). Again, refer to Inside Out. He's on "Julia Dream" too, whispering "sssssave me!" during the chorus. You can also hear Roger's distinctive vocal sounds on "Flaming," "Paintbox," "The Gnome" and "Point Me At the Sky." But I don't think he's on "Crying Song."

Dave scats along with his guitar on "Careful With That Axe, Eugene." I don't think Rick is on the studio version of "Embryo" even though he sang it live. The person speaking on Atom Heart Mother ("silence in the studio!") is orchestrator Ron Geesin. The choral vocals are by members of the John Aldiss Choir, but on live versions they're sung by Rick and Dave. Nick doesn't speak on Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast, the eponymous roadie Alan Stiles does. And I think you forgot about Dave's vocals on Summer 68 ("how do you feeeeel").

Clare Torry doesn't sing on "Eclipse," it's Doris Troy. The soul singers on "Time," "Us and Them," and "Brain Damage/Eclipse" are her, Leslie Duncan, Liza Strike, and Barry St. John. Two members of the Blackberries, who sang these parts live, also appear on "Not Now John" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond": Vanetta Fields and Carlena Williams.

It's Roger, not Rick, who harmonizes with Dave on "Welcome to the Machine" but I think it's just Dave on "Wish You Were Here." Rick sang on the live versions of "Dogs" so he might be in the studio mix, too. There's a chorus of Floyd roadies who speak the middle passage in "Sheep"... they also chant on "Waiting For the Worms", "Run Like Hell" and "The Trial".

Dave adds harmonies to "Another Brick in the Wall (Parts One and Three)", "The Happiest Days of Our Lives," "Don't Leave Me Now" and "Run Like Hell." The kids on "Another Brick in the Wall (Part Two)" and "Outside the Wall" are the children of Islington Green Primary School, Fourth Form. The "Beach Boys" are actually Bruce Johnston, Joe Chemay, John Joyce,
Stan Farber and Jim Haas. Toni Tennille does the spoken word on "One of My Turns".

Darlene Koldenhaven, Carmen Twillie, Phyllis St. James, Donnie Gerard sing on "Learning To Fly," "The Dogs of War," "One Slip," "On the Turning Away," "Yet Another Movie," "Terminal Frost," and "Sorrow." Dave sings lead on "The Dogs of War," and Rick only appears on "Sorrow."

Rick doesn't sing on "What Do You Want From Me," "Take It Back" or "High Hopes," but Dave takes a verse of "Wearing the Inside Out." The backup singers on "What Do You Want From Me," "Poles Apart," "A Great Day For Freedom," "Wearing the Inside Out," "Take It Back" and "Keep Talking" are Sam Brown, Durga McBroom, Carol Kenyon, Jackie Sheridan and Rebecca Leigh-White. They also sing on "Marooned," which you forgot to list. Speaking of omissions...

I spent far too much time on this.

Nick Mason writes in his book that he also sings on Scream Thy Last Scream (Old Woman With A Casket). (Page 115.)

Nick's voice is also heard on Learning To Fly.

According to this article which includes interviews with Roger Waters and Alan Parsons, Dave sings all vocal parts on Breathe.

Great list!!!

But would it be too much to ask for you to alphabetize it

I forgot about Peter Jenner's opening monologue on "Astronomy Domine"! And the conversation at the very end of "High Hopes" is between Steve O'Rourke and Charlie Samson.

Is there any scat singing by Dave, or is it only scat guitar on "Any Colour You Like"?

I think there's scat-singing doubling the guitar. And I just noticed that ROGER scats along with the guitar solo in "Young Lust"!

What about the "1,2,3,4" opening in "Free Four"?


I'm pretty sure Rick sings some harmony vocals on "WDYWFM". It sounds like him, and I remember from some articles from 1994 that Rick sang lead vocals on "Wearing The Inside Out", and backing/harmony vocals on "What Do You Want From Me" and "A Great Day For Freedom".

U didnt need to do this. Its all already in the official releases section

I'm 100%, dead certain Nick sings a line or two in Corporal Clegg. I think it's the part that goes "He won it in the war, In 1944". I read it somewhere, but don't remember exactly. Go on www.wikipedia.org, and search for Corporal Clegg... It should tell you.

Roger sings those lines, but Nick does mumble a line or two during all that chaos in the fadeout.
