Enya's new age/ambient style propelled her to the top of various hit lists in the late 80s and early 90s. Very interesting music.

7. Who, with this name, is Reginald Kenneth Dwight?

Answer: Sir Elton John

I like the name "Reginald". The 6 foot "Doc Martens" that Elton wore in the film "Tommy" by "The Who" sold at auction for about 11,000 British pounds in 1988. No one will ever forget his rendition of "Candle in the Wind" at the late Princess Diana's funeral.

Bono is the singer for U2 who named themselves after a U.S. spy plane. Originally, Bono called himself "Bono Vox" which means "Good Voice".

A fantastic artist, he emerged on the scene in the 60's and has numerous hits. He did a compilation with Sir Paul Mccartney called "Ebony and Ivory". I just called to say "Thank God I changed my name".

10. I changed my name because of that little Monkee named Davy Jones. Who am I?

Answer: David Bowie

Ziggy Stardust is just one of the characters he invented. In 1983 he was on the cover of "Time" magazine after he released his album "Let's Dance". In 1980, Mr.Bowie made history by spending one million dollars for a music video for his song "Ashes to Ashes". Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes, time to change my name, Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes.
