Hi friends, I've been trying to think of every officially released track where Vince does vocals. I can only come up with 3.
Happy People - Yazoo/You and Me Both - 1983
Rapture - Erasure/Cowboy - 1997
Doin' This Thing - Family Fantastic/Nice - 2000
Other than possibly some pre-DM tracks (Composition of Sound demo tape, never officially released), I'm drawing a blank. Are there any others??

Who is reading the Lord's Prayer on In My Room?(Upstairs at Eric's/Yazoo). Is that Vince?

Definitely is. Also one of the voices on I Before E Except After C (“Dragons, the policeman knew, were supposed to breathe fire and occasionally get themselves slaughtered” + “It was definitely not, he decided” + “Inside you can feel the difference, outside, you can see the difference”). I’m pretty sure it’s also his voice saying “Move out” on Situation.
Vince’s voice is also audible on Sweet, Sweet Baby (“And you know I really like it”).

Thank you for the confirmation Mr. Pughie!

Ah of course, I forgot In Your Room and I Before E. In my mind it feels like in those cases it’s more that Vince used his vocals as a sample to be toyed and tinkered with in the track - as opposed to a true vocal delivery for the track, like Happy People. Does that make sense?? In any case, there are definitely not many examples overall!
