Motown is a pretty obvious bunch to start with:

Marvin Gaye
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Stevie Wonder
Jackson 5
The Supremes
The Marvelettes
Martha and the Vandellas
Temptations
Jimmy Ruffin
David Ruffin
Four Tops
Tammi Terrell
Gladys Knight and the Pips
Jermaine Jackson
Rick James
Commodores


That pretty much covers the range of sounds and the pre-80's era although there are obviously a huge host of other artists and plenty more on the motown label now which you wouldn't class as 'motown'. But yah.
