Making backing vocals singing the chords the band is playing.

Hi, dear people at KTVA.
I've been watching the videos on how to record vocals cos I'm recording some of my own stuff for the 1st time as a performer and recording "technician."
Ken explains a technique to do backing vocals that consists in singing the triad that make the chords the band is playing and leaving the lead vocals traffic across these chords made by the voices. He explains this gives the illusion the backing vocalists are singin in 3rds or fifths but it sounds bigger and different to just following the leading melody by singing 3rds.
I think I understand the concept but I'm not sure how to apply it. Could you please provide one o two examples of songs that have this type o backing vocals?

Thanks a lot!
