Last night on House of Wax Eric Holland marked Etta James' birthday by spinning her on vinyl just after 8 p.m. We're using that as excuse to ask for other artists whose last name is a first name. I have no excuse for missing Ms. James' birthday yesterday. We'll have a roll call and spin a set after 9 a.m.

UPDATE Today's set:

  • Etta James "At Last"
  • Tori Amos "Cornflake Girl"
  • Shelby Lynne "Thought It Would Be Easier"
  • Paul Simon "Kodachrome"
