Question: Who is this American singer, songwriter, and interpreter of music who was featured in "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" and contributed to "Crying on Sunday?"
Context: Standing in the Shadows of Motown is a 2002 documentary film directed by Paul Justman that recounts the story of The Funk Brothers, the uncredited and largely unheralded studio musicians who were the house band that Berry Gordy hand picked in 1959.  They recorded and performed on Motowns' recordings from 1959 to 1972.  The film was inspired by the 1989 book "Standing in the Shadows of Motown: The Life and Music of Legendary Bassist James Jamerson", a bass guitar instruction book by Allan Slutsky, which features the bass lines of James Jamerson. Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance) is the only album issued by The Contours during their recording career at Motown Records.  Issued on Motown's Gordy subsidiary in October 1962 (see 1962 in music), the album includes the hit title track and the number 21 R&B hit single "Shake Sherry".  Also including the early singles "Whole Lotta' Woman" and "The Stretch", "Do You Love Me" is notable as the first LP to be released by Gordy Records.  The song was also performed in the movies "Dirty Dancing", "Getting Even With Dad", "Teen Wolf Too" (by Ragtime), and "Beethoven's 2nd".  It was performed by Bootsy Collins and the Funk Brothers in the movie "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" and in 2016 was used in a Pepsi-Cola commercial featuring Janelle Monáe. Joan Elizabeth Osborne (born July 8, 1962) is an American singer, songwriter, and interpreter of music, having recorded and performed in various popular American musical genres including pop, soul, R&B, blues and country.  She is best known for her recording of the Eric Bazilian song "One of Us".  She has toured with Motown sidemen the Funk Brothers and was featured in the documentary film about them, "Standing in the Shadows of Motown. Signed Sealed Delivered is the fifth studio album by English singer Craig David.  It was his first and only album with Universal Motown.  It was released on 29 March 2010.  The album consists primarily of covers.  Two of the album's tracks sample hits from the Motown era and give them a modern twist, as demonstrated with the first single from the album, "One More Lie (Standing in the Shadows)", whose chorus samples The Four Tops' 1967 Motown classic "Standing in the Shadows of Love".  The second is "All Alone Tonight (Stop, Look, Listen)" which samples Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye's version of "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)".  The only original song is the album's last track, "This Could Be Love". The First Seed is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Yummy Bingham.  It was released in the United Kingdom on October 9, 2006.  The album is entirely written by Bingham with main production from Rockwilder.  The album was originally due for a U.S. release on September 27, 2005, through Motown.  It was then delayed to March 21, 2006, then delayed again due to the lack of attention received by the singles "Come Get It", "Is It Good to You" and "One More Chance" in addition to business reasons (Bingham broke her management deal with Muzic Park Records' co-CEO Randy Parker).  Still signed to Motown in the U.S., Bingham signed with Motown's UK parent label Island Records Group in June 2006.  The label released "Come Get It" as her debut UK single on October 2—one week prior to the album's release. "Skyscraper" is a song performed by American singer Demi Lovato for her third studio album "Unbroken" (2011).  It was released on July 12, 2011 by Hollywood Records, as the lead single from the album.  The song was written by Toby Gad, Lindy Robbins and Kerli Kõiv and produced by Gad.  It was inspired by a picture of the apocalypse, in which the world was in ruins and among collapsed buildings, one skyscraper was still standing.  When the song was recorded, Lovato was very emotional which triggered outbursts and caused her to start crying.  On November 1, 2010, Lovato entered a treatment facility to deal with her personal struggles. Barrett Strong (born February 5, 1941) is an American singer and songwriter.  Strong was the first artist to record a hit for Motown, although he is best known for his work as a songwriter, particularly in association with producer Norman Whitfield.  Among his most famous work at Motown, Strong wrote the lyrics for many of the songs recorded by the Temptations. Vacancy is an EP by Joseph Arthur released on May 11, 1999.  Released by the independent label Undercover out of Portland, Oregon, "Vacancy" is a hand packaged, limited edition that was assembled one at a time by two people at Undercover.  Each one was pressed and die-cut, then assembled and folded by hand.  "Vacancy" was limited to 10,000 copies worldwide—5,000 to the US and 5,000 to Europe, the UK and France.  The EP's sleeve design was nominated in 1999 for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package.  Joan Osborne plays acoustic guitar on "Crying on Sunday." Workin' Overtime is the seventeenth studio album by American singer Diana Ross, released on June 6, 1989 by Motown.  It was Ross' first Motown album since "Diana" (1980), after Ross left the label for a then record breaking $20 million deal with RCA.  Upon Diana's return to the label, Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr. had sold the label to MCA Records and had positioned Jheryl Busby to the head of Motown.  Ross was at first reluctant to return to her old label but Gordy promised her a lot in her return: not only would Ross return to Motown as a recording act, but she would be the label's part-owner.  Ross reunited with collaborator Nile Rodgers to make this album - which was an attempt to gear her to a much younger audience bringing in new jack swing productions and house music. I Like It Like That is an album by Motown group the Miracles, compiled for the UK market and released on the UK Tamla-Motown label (TML11003) as one of its initial group of six albums in March 1965 (there was no equivalent album to this in the USA).  Known as the Miracles' "forgotten album", few people, outside of Motown insiders, hard-core Miracles fans, and collectors, remember that it had even existed.  This album featured a combination of several new-for-1964 songs along with previously-issued material from the group's album from the year before, "The Miracles Doin' Mickey's Monkey".  New for 1964 songs included "I Like It Like That" (the Top 30 title song), the Bobby Rogers-led flip side "You're So Fine and Sweet,"(this is the "only" original Miracles studio album that has that song), "That's What Love Is Made Of" (another 1964 hit) that the group performed on the American International Pictures release, the T.A.M.I. Show that year, and "Would I Love You", a song that became a popular regional hit tune for the group in Pennsylvania and The Midwest.  The album also featured a Claudette Robinson-led cover version of the Orlons' #2 Pop smash, "The Wah Watusi".  (Claudette is also featured with the rest of the group on the album's cover), and the group's 1963 Top 40 Hit, "I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying".  Several of the group's other 1964 songs, including the chart hits "(You Can't Let the Boy Overpower) The Man in You", "Come On Do the Jerk", and its "B" side, "Baby Don't You Go", were not included.  The new 1964 recordings "I Like It Like That", "Would I love You" and "That's What Love Is Made Of" were included on the only US Miracles 1964 album release "Miracles Greatest Hits From The Beginning" which was the first double album released by Motown Records.
