Songs with a Female Lead Singer and Male Backup Singer(s)

I was just thinking about how often you hear female backup singers with a male lead singer but I couldn't think of a single example of the opposite. Please enlighten me.

Edit: Just thought of one.

Past the Mission by Tori Amos with Trent Reznor on backing vocals.

[Falling Down] Did Sergeant Prendergast's Wife Kill Their 2 Year Old Daughter?

I just watched a reaction video to the 1993 movie Falling Down and I realized something. (I originally saw it when it first came out but I don't remember a lot of the details.) Sergeant Martin Prendergast, played by Robert Duvall, talks about the troubles with his wife a few times throughout the film. We discover they had a daughter who died and we see how unhinged his wife is due to all this. Hence why he is retiring.

But at the end, >!during the final confrontation with William Foster, played by Michael Douglas,!< Sergeant Prendergast talks about how his wife didn't want a baby but she ruined her body for him. (There had been previous mentions of how beautiful his wife was and how she was having difficulty with losing her beauty.) Then he says his daughter died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome when she was 2 years old. He even remarks "but she wasn't an infant, she was a big girl."

A quick aside, I'm a true crime junkie. And the unexplained death of a child over a year old is a red flag. That plus the mother not really wanting the child and being mentally unstable and controlling made me wonder. Did Sergeant Prendergast's wife kill their 2 year old daughter?

It seemed obvious to me but I didn't see it mentioned previously here. Is there something I'm missing? It was a reaction video, not the full movie, so they may have said something in the film to refute my theory. If so, please let me know because I'm very curious.

I had to talk to HR because I physically can't pull carts so I guess I need to be transferred. The Store Manager was in there and he told me that there was an incident at another store where a 2 year old child was hit by a cart and was hurt really badly. Apparently they were/are in critical condition. It's awful that a child was hurt but it also sucks that I'm going to lose a job I really like.
