Baltimore's own Mama Cass Elliot had some success as a solo artist in addition to her work with the Mamas and the Pappas. I've always liked this one.

I will never forget this: I saw the Patti Smith Group at the Hard Rock Cafe (yes, that's what it was called) in West Hartford on October 13, 1978. I was front row center, squished up against the stage. At the end of the show, as the band was taking their bows, she took a couple of steps backward. And she looked straight at me -- and gave me the most ethereal, angelic smile I've ever seen on a human being, before or since. This is hard to describe, but I'm convinced that she showed me her soul. And it was otherworldly beautiful.

Kim Weston -- a very underrated Motown singer, in my opinion.
