Debbie Harry Rockbird album — Debbie Harry is an artist with two "first" names. What other artists have two "first" names?

Kudos go out once again to our intrepid listener Loran, for a great idea for a 9:30 Coffee Break theme. Today Loren wrote in, "There are lots of artists who go by one name (Cher, Donovan, Prince, et al). How about artists that have two "first" names." So, that would be artists that have their normal (or relatively normal) first name and then a last name that could also be a first name.

What do you say? Let's put together a set of music from artists who have two "first" names.
