Recording artists A-Z quiz
Below are clues to the name of a recording artist which starts with the letter shown. How many can you identify? This is the name as it appears on the record label but disregarding “The”. Most of the clues have only one possible answer but otherwise you have to get the name I was thinking of. Some easy, others less so but W is definitely one for afficionados of the 4 Seasons. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.

If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier.
