Although Ella is (as Jazz said) more "swing", I would definately put Billy Holiday into that category.
Ertha Kitt (sorry for the spelling)
Sarah Vaughn
Janice Joplin (had she lived) would have gotten that reputation
Of the new breed, I think Christine Aguilera will prove to have the same soul and depth as Ella.
Karen Carpenter had the same soulfulness, and the same cry in her voice that could make a grown man weep from just listening.
Bette Midler also can give you that "smoking 3 packs a day, feel the pain" rasp and fullness to her voice.

Hmmmm, try Sarah Vaughn.
Good bio info and musical collaborators with Ella here:

Didi Bridgewater. I would've said Billy Holiday, but Ella is just more swing.

I would try going to Pandora and making a station with her. Pandora's a GREAT way to find similar artists of your favorites.

The only one that can come close is Josephine Baker
