Mario - Mario's talent also emerged during the wave of bands and boy groups. Like Cortez, his vocals have an '80s flair and style. Also similar to Cortez, Mario's riffs go on for days and leave you filled up.

Take 6 - Jazz sextet Take 6 definitely has '80s rhythmic style all over their music and, like Cortez, the group infuses R&B from this period in its music, which gives all of their songs a laidback worship feel.(Photo: Paul Morigi/Getty Images for Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz)

Matthew Schuler - In the same vein as Cortez, Schuler's voice can meld well with any type of music, but has the ability to be grandiose as well. In addition, it's worth noting that when both Schuler and Cortez pull back, each note sounds sweet and effortless.(Photo: Trae Patton/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank/Getty Images)
