For full use of lungs:
Lorraine Ellison - Stay With Me Baby
Jennifer Holliday - And I'm Telling You (I'm Not Going)
For restrained vulnerability:
Michael Jackson - She's Outta My Life
Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful to Me
Add in pretty much anything by Otis Redding/James Carr/Al Green.
BTW I lent a James Carr CD to a chum who reported that his wife wouldn't let him play it to the end - it was too sad!
