I Didn't Know that was the Same Voice.

Similar to the movie one with actors and actresses, this'll fall across many genres.

My 2 are these:

I didn't know that the lead singer of '90's Eurodance mainstay M People sung the theme to The Biggest Loser USA. (Her name is Heather Small.)

I didn't know that Michael Jackson sung on the Rockwell hit Somebody's Watching Me.

Can it also be bands that you didn't know made a well-known song because it wasn't obvious?!

Didn't know that The Doves were responsible for this mainstream hit back in 1992!

I heard this on Triple J a long time ago, didn't know it was Thomsky Yorke!

That's allowable.

This hit song from 2003 had Lanegan/Homme from QOTSA playing the music and doing back vocals!

I know a heap but they aren't coming to my head tonight!!

Looking forward to other people's posts!

Ha! Was just talking about her earlier in the pub. Shaun Edwards' ex-girlfriend. Good singer, though.

One of my mates works for ABCRadio in country Queensland and had to play annoying country song Wagon Wheel during his show.

He played the cover version- afterwards he said ‘gee that sounds like Hootie from Hootie and the Blowfish.’

His co host pointed out quickly that Darius Rucker, cover artist of wagon wheel, is indeed Hootie of Hootie and the blowfish

Okay stay with me here.. I always thought the 70's song Fooled Around and Fell in Love was sung by Daddy Cool/Ross Wilson. I only recently found out it wasn't. It was written by Elvin Bishop and sung by Mickey Thomas who also turned out to be the very same Mickey Thomas responsible for singing that ******* godawful 80's number We Built This City with Starship.

When I heard the opening to that song (complete with drums,) I thought it was gonna be Olivia Newton-John - Hopelessly Devoted to You.

And wait, Elvin Bishop didn't sing that?
Mindckuf.

As for Mickey Thomas, I didn't know that either.
He must must have a wide vocal range.

It was a bit of a rollercoaster for me.

That whole write-up was a rollercoaster but it was a fruitful lesson.

Yeah sorry I was at work at the time so couldn't post any vids that might've made it easier.

All good.

Maybe everyone knows this, but only recently worked out it’s Mick Jagger on backing vocals to Carly Simon’s You’re So Vain

Never been a huge RHCP fan

Didn’t realize that Butterfly song that was all the rage in the early 00’s wasn’t their own original stuff but a mix of RHCP’s Pretty Little Ditty. Always thought it was groovy music and wondered why Crazy Town never kicked on. Now I know the best part of their only good song was ripped from elsewhere.

Just listening to the Doobie Brothers.

I didn't know the voice behind Takin' It To The Streets is also behind the song I Keep Forgettin' which Warren G sampled the melody for Regulate.

Michael McDonald. Visionary.

I was going to say Scott Walker, but actually his early pop stuff was similar to his avant-garde material!
