Thanks Jackie
Talking about Richie's backing vocals: In another thread there was that article posted about a guy who auditioned (probably) for Bobby's spot -->

That part really fits this discussion:
I had a blast playing those songs. I can't hit those vocal notes man that Sambora hits. I'm not ashamed to admit that. Some of those biggest hits, like "Livin' on a Prayer," Jon is singing way out of his range well then Sambora was singing a harmony on top of that. I can play all if that guitar stuff, easy. But Richie is a special talent.
