I can't fault most of the above choices (Dusty Springfield and Nina Simone especially), but would like to add Skin from Skunk Anansie to the list.
I recently found a CD copy of Paranoid & Sunburnt and am still amazed at the energy and range of her voice.
Indeed Binners .

Y'o can't forget this masterpiece...
If you can, turn up until your speakers rattle or your Boss comes over and starts nodding his/her head..
