Vedder also provided background vocals on several other Temple of the Dog songs. In April 1991, Temple of the Dog was released by A&M Records . “Hunger Strike” became Temple of the Dog’s breakout single; it was also Vedder’s first featured vocal on a record. “I really like hearing that song. I feel like I could be real proud of it – because one, I didn’t write it, and two, it was such a nice way to be ushered onto vinyl for the first time. I’m indebted to Chris (Cornell) time eternal for being invited onto that track”, Vedder said in 2009. In the 2011 documentary Pearl Jam Twenty , Vedder said, “That was the first time I heard myself on a real record. It could be one of my favorite songs that I’ve ever been on – or the most meaningful.” Vedder and Cornell performed the song together for the last time on October 26, 2014, at a benefit for Bridge School .
