Female is easy for me....Gladys Knight (Hey, I'm a Detroit boy).
Male is tougher. From the Motown/Philadelphia genre, Phillipe Wynne, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson.
From Rock? Chris Cornell (going to Soundgarden tonight), Robert Plant...and Janis for the ladies of Rock. (That's Janis Joplin, not Janis Jackson).
