I'll go for: Al Green, James Carr, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye and -- if he's considered as a soul singer -- Stevie Wonder.

Funny how groups suddenly become singers, if this is a thread about best soul singers, should not the lead vocalist from the group be listed rather than the group.

Not mentioned so far, Curtis Mayfield, Sam Cooke and Ray Charles

More current but Aloe Blacc has a legitimately wonderful voice. The album version of this tune is enough to make a grown man cry on its own but this live version with orchestra musicians backing him just ruins me.

How about the Ronettes for a group?

Man...the way that Ronnie Spector scrunches her nose when she sings...I'm in love.
