Page "The Alan Parsons Project" Paragraph 13

The group was notable for using several vocal performers instead of having a single lead vocalist.

Lead vocal duties were shared by guest vocalists chosen by their vocal style to complement each song.

Woolfson sang lead on many of the group's hits ( including " Time " and " Eye in the Sky ") and the record company pressured Parsons to use him more, but Parsons preferred " real " singers, which Woolfson admitted he was not.

In addition to Woolfson, Chris Rainbow, Lenny Zakatek, John Miles, David Paton and The Zombies ' Colin Blunstone made regular appearances.

Other singers, such as Arthur Brown, Procol Harum's Gary Brooker, Dave Terry aka Elmer Gantry, Vitamin Z's Geoff Barradale and Marmalade's Dean Ford, have recorded only once or twice with the Project.

Parsons himself only sang lead on one song (" The Raven ") through a vocoder, and can be heard singing backing vocals on a few others, including " To One in Paradise ".

Both of those songs appeared on Tales of Mystery and Imagination.
