In no particular order...

Brendan Perry
Sinead Oconnor
Jaz Coleman
Louis Armstrong
Big Mama Thornton ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XUAg1_A7IE - if 
you like harmonica http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7DV2D8-4sA )
Louisa John-Krohl
Zohar Argov (dead)
Muddy Waters
Beth Orton
Lucinda Williams
Mike Scott (Waterboys)

Johnny Cash
Cadaveria (Opera IX and Cadaveria)
Alison Shaw (Cranes)

Many more to list (it'll never end), but here are the first few.

I don't know how to classify whose technically "the greatest" but all 
of these get into my
head real good.
