Just out of curiosity, is there a song for every letter of the alphabet with people's names released ones only, not album songs)? I've done a few, but I'm drawing a blank at the rest!

A.
B. Billie Jean - Michal Jackson
C. Carmen Queasy - Maxim feat Skin ()
D.
E.
F.
G.
H.
I. Isobel - Bjork
J.
K.
L. Laurs - Scissor Sisters
M. Maria - Blondie
N.
O.
P.
Q.
R. Richard III - Supergrass
S. Stan - Eminem feat. Dido
T.
U.
V.
W.
X. Xavier - Dead Can Dance (Thanks Manko)
Y.
Z. Ziggy Stardust - David Bowie (does this count?! )

Quite sad, I know, but I just wonder if it's possible (I'm sure it is, except X?!)

Remeber, no album tracks, and try not to use the same act twice.

Ray Charles release an album called 'Dedicated to You', and each song was another girl's name. The most famous of these was "Ruby". But there were loads others..

Anyway, some more:

Frank Sinatra - Nancy With The Laughing Face
Bananarama - Robert De Niro's Waiting
Scissor Sisters - Mary
The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby/Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds/Maxwell's Silver Hammer


I need some more thinking time...
