Hints/clues:
- not every song mentions a name in the lyrics.

- lyrics may include a title or rank [e.g. if Miss Bloggs was in the lyrics, it would be included
- lyrics with only "a" or "the" not included [e.g. if "the Carpenter" was in lyrics, it would be excluded]
- some names are included in more than one song [not record]; you have to find all [in separate post]
- some songs include more than one name in lyrics; you have to find all the names [in separate post]
Rules:
- no googling/wiki/social media/playing song on iphone, smart phone, CD, record player
- all entries must be submitted as follows:
[name of person] in lyrics on [name of song] - [e.g. Mrs Bloggs on song Bloggs & Son]
- only one entry (guess) - [name of person] per post; only one post per person per day
- some names appear in lyrics of more than one song [not record], each to be given on separate post
- some lyrics contain more than one name, each name with title of song [not record] on separate post
- the words of the track Revolution #9 [on "The Beatles" ("White") album] are excluded
- only lyrics of songs on studio recordings officially released between Oct 1962 and May 1970 included

RESULTS: for names submitted Tues 19 March 2019:
Seven members submitted names - all of them were correct. Well done, everyone:
- Charles Hawtry in Two Of Us - @Cleoriff
- Lady Madonna in Glass Onion - @Bambino
- Ringo Starr in You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) - @jonsie
- Julia in Julia - @Glory1
- Pam in Polythene Pam - @pgn
- Daniel in Rocky Raccoon - @MI5
- Peter Brown in The Ballad Of John And Yoko - @MusicIan
I should point out that, although I had Paul in Glass Onion on my list, I missed Lady Madonna in Glass Onion found by @Bambino . I have spent today checking through my list and my sources. As a result, the list has been revised, slightly - not with names withdrawn - and have found additional names so the total number of names has increased to 85 - out of which 61 have been found so far.
So there are now 24 names still to find - inclduing the one I consider to be most difficult to find.
Please do not post your next answer - for Wed 20 March - until after midnight.
The list of names, in alphabetical order, found so far will be posted shortly.
Thank you for continuing to join in with the Challenge.
