I do too, but their group backing vocal sound was predicated on no member standing out. It was a wall of sound backing vocal sound where everyone blended it and no one stood out. Stevie's voice would have stood out rather than blend in.
As for Lindsey, it would have killed him to participate without having production input. And George and Jeff would *not* have let him have any.
Still, he wouldn't have said no to a Beatle.
