In the last few years we've started to see some love for a segment of the music scene that often goes unrecognized – backup singers.

Perhaps you've seen the Oscar-winning documentary "Twenty Feet from Stardom", you've followed the rise of Judith Hill or you've enjoyed the sweet sounds of songs that feature background singers without even realizing what makes the songs sound so good.

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, let's listen to songs that feature incredible backup singers.

Songs played

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter
David Bowie - Young Americans
Fitz and the Tantrums - 6am
Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes
Neko Case - Favorite
Arcade Fire - Reflektor
