Ok, let's not get stuck. Sleepy The very predictable  Quincy Jones (b. 1933), American jazz musician. I'll take the next letter straight away.
 
Robert Johnson (c. 1583 – 1633), English composer and lute player of the late Tudor and early Jacobean eras.
   But his American namesake is nowadays much better remembered:
 
Robert Johnson (1911 – 1938), highly influential blues singer-songwriter and musician.
