Names So Nice, They Named Them Twice

The following 20 songs are by artists whose first and last names can both be used as common first names, like Peter David (And actually common first names, no, "Seriously, Morrison is a first name!! Really! What, you've never heard of someone with a first name of Lennon!??!). Name the artist who sang each song. And I'm being nice, no Lucinda WilliamS, as Williams is not a first name...the last name has to work as a first name on its own.

1. “Poor Little Fool”
2. “Copperhead Road”
3. “A Sorta Fairytale”
4. “Be-Bop-a-Lula”
5. “George Jackson”
6. “Breaking Us In Two”
7. “Gone at Last”
8. “Welcome Back”
9. “Help Me”
10. “I Don’t Want to Wait”
11. “Monkey”
12. “Society's Child (Baby I've Been Thinking)”
13. “An Innocent Man”
14. “Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight”
15. “Nobody Does it Better”
16. “Love Touch”
17. “Dirty Blvd.”
18. “Games Without Frontiers”
19. “Thirsty Boots”

Good luck, and have fun! :)
