Melvin Franklin
Ray Davis
Larry Graham

"Blue" Lovett of The Manhattans is one of the best bass voices in the business.
His dialogs on Am I Losing You, I Kinda Miss You come to mind.

But the one that immediately came to me was Benny Spellman who sang the bass part and hook on Ernie K. Doe's Mother-In-Law.
Not necessarily the greatest bass part but a seriously great hook.
