I remember the 1979 Music for UNICEF Concert. ABBA sang Chiquitita, the only video I remember, but Rod, Bee Gees, Andy, EW&F, Donna Summer were also there. That year was excellent for music—a wonderful end to the decade.
The BF Wikipedia page mentions (source: Ken's book Get Tusked)
Rather than record the backing vocals in the same room, Nicks, Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham instead sang their parts individually in an echo chamber situated in Studio D at The Village Recorder. These parts were doubled and faded in and out throughout the song using the studio's mixing console.
