Nightshift by The Commodores is specifically about Marvin Gay and Jackie Wilson (not to be confused with Jockie Wilson, if you're reading this Top of the Pops).

You could try this one, Guitar Heroes by Richard Thompson, where he not only names his favourite guitarist but takes a solo in each of their styles; Django Reinhardt, Les Paul, Chuck Berry, James Burton and Hank Marvin.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBgXe3tqn4I
As his solo at the end shows, he's probably better than any of them.
Plus of course, there's Arthur Conley's, Sweet Soul Music, (Lou Rawls, Sam and Dave, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett, James Brown) which, for some reason, I fucking hate.

Downtown - Neil Young
Name checks Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page along with Led Zeppelin
Jimi's playin' in the back room
Led Zeppelin on stage
There's a mirror ball twirlin'
And a note from Page
Like a water-washed diamond
In a river of sin
Goin' down like a whirlpool
When you get sucked in

Somehow, they can't bring themselves to say more than half their name...
