Chicago / The Beach Boys
The following clip is from 1974 on Dutch TV. "Wishing You Were Here" was a huge hit single, featuring a Terry Kath lead vocal and backing vocals from Dennis Wilson, Carl Wilson and Alan Jardine of The Beach Boys. The track appears to be canned, though Kath's lead appears to be live (as does Peter Cetera's vocal on the bridge). Carl and Alan do their part to appear that they are singing backing vocs, with Mike Love standing in for Dennis. Terry Kath looks very uncomfortable in his tuxedo!
Watch the whole thing...at the conclusion of the Chicago song, the Beach Boys do a live version of "Surfer Girl", with Alan Jardine taking Brian Wilson's lead on the bridge. They sound great.

Great clip! That wasn't Terry Kath singing lead; that was Robert Lamm. Everyone looks like they've switched instruments for the lip-synch performance. Cetera is playing acoustic guitar (a steel string, unlike the nylon string you hear on the recording), Lamm is playing a Fender bass instead of keyboards, and Jim Guercio (producer) is playing electric guitar instead of bass like he frequently did onstage.
