David Robert Jones
Jim Heath
The Reverend Richard Wayne Penniman
Susan Janet Ballion
Graham McPherson
Ernest Evans
Joseph Saddler

Bo Diddley?

And well done on Chubby Checker, Brian!

The rest are:

David Robert Jones = David Bowie
Jim Heath = The Reverend Horton Heat
Susan Janet Ballion = Siouxsie Sioux
Graham McPherson = Suggs (Lead singer of Madness)
Joseph Saddler = Grandmaster Flash
