Not sure they qualify as "bands" (more likely "groups") but, at a s-t-r-e-t-c-h, what about those fantastic Motown acts back in the sixties/seventies?
Diana Ross and the Supremes
Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
Gladys Knight and the Pips
The Four Tops
Martha Reeves and the Vandellas
The Jackson 5 (think they were Motown)
The Temptations
The Commodores

Etc etc

My Mum loves Motown.
