@ nightspore: I don't think that Seamus the dog counts, but I found something. See below...
@ milamber: I'm not sure whether the original question referred to songs where a single person (who is not a member of PF) sings lead, or whether it referred to PF songs where non-PF members sing (in general). If the case is the latter, then there are quite a few. Bruce Johnston of the Beach Boys sings backing vocals in "The Show Must Go On" and he's got at least one of the "let me go, let me go..." falsetto lines on his own; he and Roger Waters sing almost all of "The Happiest Days of Our Lives"; some of the "wai-ting" choir vocals in "Waiting for the Worms" are him and Toni Tennille (from Captain & Tennille); there is a choir on AHM; and of course there are the children from Islington Green School singing the entire second verse of "Another Brick..." part II. Do any of these count? 
@ Jules: IMHO, Mason meant that, once Syd was out, the extended, sprawling jams that PF used to do during shows was left out of the recording studio, though some of them (albeit in a more concise fashion) persisted in some early Seventies shows. But they died out as well by the time of Dark Side,which has no improvisation at all on it.
