The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

@Croonr1
The male quartet is The Sportsmen (Bill Days, Bob Stevens, Marty Sperzel and Gurney Bell)
@the78prof72
Thanks. I've noted your YouTube post and a couple of mentions elsewhere of The Sportsmen appearing on this track. Can you direct me to a source with session data verifying the backup group? The Mellomen were her regular guys in 1949 and 1950, while The Sportsmen were signed to Capitol in the late '40s.
@Croonr1
@@the78prof72 Can’t say that I have session info but I have been researching The Sportsmen for the last 30+ years and I know what they sound like. Plus John Rarig was a former member and their arranger.
@the78prof72
@@Croonr1 Okay! Thanks for the info.

@@the78prof72 They also backed Doris up on “Last Mile Home”, “Don’t Gamble With Romance”, “Ol’ Saint Nicholas”, “Here Comes Santa Claus”, “When Your Lover Has Gone” and “I’m Beginning To Miss You.” When I was in contact with Bill Days in the mid-90s he didn’t understand why they weren’t given label credit but said how much they enjoyed working with Doris.
@the78prof72
Good question. One might assume some kind of legal or contractual reason as there were plenty of Rarig/Mellomen label credits for Doris despite that group's appearance on other labels.
