Its not unusual to not give another artist credit. Stevie never gave Prince credit on Stand Back. And no, I don't believe her story that Prince told her not to do it. But even if that was true, you still would give someone credit for playing critical parts of your first single from a new album.
However, to not give someone credit for singing a duet is pretty odd. Stevie does not just sing back up, she sings full verses.
As someone correctly pointed out, the Mac opened for Loggins and Messina in 1975 so that is when they got to know eachother well.
Some of these comparisons on this thread are just stupid - Prince didn't sing half of Stand Bank. He played the synthesizer. Ridiculous comparison. Whenever. I Call You Friend is a true duet.
