Denise Marsa was the uncredited female vocalist on Dean Friedman's "Lucky Stars".
by the way I met Dean Friedman in Edinburgh (at the synagogue) in August 2011.

Wasn't it also Ellen Foley who also sang on many Meat Loaf songs, including the massive #1 'I'd do anything for love (but I won't do that)'?

Ellen Foley was the female vocalist on "Paradise By The Dashboard Light"
The female vocal on "I'd Do Anything For Love" was credited to "Mrs Loud" who was Lorraine Crosby, an English singer aged 33 at the time.
Of course Cher wasn't officially credited on "Dead Ringer For Love" either.

Pink Floyd - The Great Gig In The Sky (1973)
Featuring the wordless vocals of Clare Torry, whom also sang the Dolly Parton song "Love Is Like a Butterfly" as the theme music to the 1970s Wendy Craig/Geoffrey Palmer sitcom Butterflies; and later featured heavily on Culture Club's The War Song.
On Pink Floyd tours it has been replicated by the late Vicki Brown (I could feature her in this thread later); Venetta Fields; & Sam "Stop" Brown (daughter of Vicki & Joe "Picture Of You" Brown) pre & post fame on their 1987 & 1994 tours.

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter (1969)
The seminal Let It Bleed album track features the uncredited vocals of Merry Clayton, who has sung on loads of other late 1960s and beyond tracks. The most famous being Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama.
Since, the 1970s on tour this has been the go to song where Mick Jagger would introduce a female singer with a great set of pipes to have a go at this classic. The list goes from Tina Turner; Chaka Khan; Ronnie Spector; Bette Midler; Cher; etc through to the 21st Century and the likes of Beyonce; P!nk; Christina Aguilera; Adele; Florence Welch; Kelly Clarkson; Lady Gaga; Jennifer Hudson; ....

No idea why Maltloaf didn't credit Cher, but at least she was a star in her own right...
...but it seems like egoism to a towering degree not to give Maggie Reilly credit for being the major reason why most people bought "Moonlight Shadow". Especially as she never had a hit of her own.

Cat Stevens - Remember The Days Of The Old Schoolyard (1977)
The last US and UK top 40 chart hit for almost three decades for the Island folk rock singer songwriter featured an uncredited female duet vocal of pre "Pearl's A Singer" hitmaker Elkie Brooks. However, for the video she was replaced Milli Vanilli style by Linda Lewis!
But a far more famous example of that is ......

Bryan Ferry - Let's Stick Together (1976)
The Roxy Music frontman (& his ill suited caterpillar on his top lip) pop cover of the 1962 Wilbert Harrison blues standard, later covered by Canned Heat had a memorable video featuring his then Texas "Prairie Rose" model girlfriend Jerry Hall, before she upgraded to Mick Jagger ( I guessed she never fancied being called Jerry Ferry); & is now married to the defacto ruler of the UK, USA & Australia .... media magnate Rupert Murdoch.
However, Jerry Hall's part in this video is about as true as Uncle Rupert's The S*n "News"paper coverage of 1989 Hillsborough Stadium Disaster.... the female vox was actually supplied by the late Vicki Brown.

...who also provided the female vocals to JJ Barrie's "No Charge".
I'm not putting up the video for that as I am not a cruel vastariner.
