On Talking Book's album opener (and #1 hit), You Are the Sunshine of my Life, Stevie let background vocalists sing the opening lines. That always seemed incredibly cool and selfless to me.

To amazing effect too. The two singers style take you off your guard (this... isn't... Stevie?) and then he comes in, singing slightly louder, and stressing the start of each word - the song changes from something super cool and easy, to something a lot more funky.
By the end of the verse, you realize how great Stevie's singing is, even though he's holding so much back.
