What about Warren Zevon? He sings "Raspberry Berret" with REM on an album.

Definately Wendy as the audible female voice on the first few verses. However Lisa sang the last verse of the song with Prince when the verse starts "Raspberry beret (lisa)"
No No No (Prince) as that verse continue with Prince sang the lead while Lisa background. And Wendy didn't sing during the last verse. Lisa might have sung a little background when Prince and Wendy were singing the song earlier on since she have that soft voice.

It took me years to finally tell the difference between Wendy and Lisa's singing just by listening to their voices when they backup with Prince, when they went duo, and when I hear them speak.

BTW Wendy also sang the main female part of 17 Days while you can hear Lisa sang in the background.

I got the feeling that when W&L was with Prince, Wendy sang the lead voice or vocals because Lisa preferred to sing background. Although Wendy is my favorite, Lisa has a better voice no denying that (1999, Jonathan, the stick) and I don't get it of people have so much talented yet they are too modest to use it more often.
