I'll second The Temptations and Aretha Franklin. My mother used to play them on Sunday afternoons Good memories. Mariah Carey is about the only current singer that has their talent.
I also like Ella Fitzgerald and James Brown. Both seem to sing with their whole heart. I've never been a fan of Elvis Presley, even though many fans compare him to James Brown. Elvis always seemed fake to me.
Lol!
For my family and our aquantences, there is no one performer whom is more real than Elvis.
Stage presence second to none, live peformances were outstanding with brass band back up.
Horse for courses I suppose.
The OP's question was "who are your favorite classic singers?".
