Mikhail Bulgakov.

I'd say Harlan Ellison, but I'm just not sure you can have the legs when the bulk of your work was in short stories and scripts. That and he did the bulk of his writing split between the '60s and '70s, so I'm not really sure he meets the OP criteria, but I figured he's worth a mention.

I only ever read Master and Margarita (does he even have anything else anyone's read?) and it was awesome.

Lethem writes science fiction on a fairly regular basis but he also writes straight fiction quite well.
KharBevNor:
Speaking of which, I reckon/hope for Iain Banks to be well remembered, both for awesome pieces of non-genre fiction such as The Wasp Factory, The Bridge, The Crow Road, Complicity and Whit, as well as for awesome science fiction works such as Against a Dark Background, The Use of Weapons, Feersum Endjinn and The Algebraist.
