Screamin' Jay Hawkins, he is the cool.

Hot Chocolate. I don't think that this band gets enough recognition.

John Lee Hooker. Is there anything that this man couldn't play and sing?

Tina Turner. She fought back to her abuser and won the right to her name. Talented and simply the best.

Prince. I'm still heartbroken that he's gone.


Glorfindel

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, and the Four Tops, but before any of them, Little Richard.
That question is too hard! It's like asking, "Other than the Beatles, which were the five best British Invasion bands?"

Thanks for sharing, JimGinPA!

Many more of course, but those are the first that leap to mind and the ones I listen to the most.
