Background Vocals: Which Songs Are Best?

I'm listening to how amazing Prince's harmonies are on the second verse of A Million Days...

He's fucking brilliant!!

Nobody does this...nobody!!

Forever In My Life - the way the background vocals start off behind then go on ahead of the lead - amazing. I Love U In Me and Money Don't Matter 2nite have some cool ones too

I think his bg vocals may be his greatest strengths

Elephants & Flowers

and on and on...
I can't imagine how much time he must spend recording them

For some reason I think the harmonies for A Million Days are not mixed well. But they are still great musically.

The background vocals in 'Mardrid 2 Chicago' are really nice...not quite as unique as
'Tamborine', but they are beautiful, as usual.

Yeah, Tamborine is really tight. I also like the background vocals on "Welcome 2 the Rat Race". Really, though, his genius in this vein is quite pronounced. Any of a number of selections from the catalogue would be worthy of praise.
