It is unknown who provided the harmony vocal on 'Little Cabin On The Hill' - the 16-track tape log only states "Jim's Vocal - Harmony" for that channel. It may be Jimmie Murray, of The Imperials, which would place the harmony vocal being overdubbed on October 1 1970.
'Just Pretend' is
not listed in Sessions III as being
overdubbed on this date, but the 16-track tape log shows that two sets of backup vocals were overdubbed, so this date would be most likely when the second backup vocals were overdubbed.
