I notice that one of the key words is Scoop which sent me thinking to Sen. Henry Jackson

And we have Jesse Jackson, Henry Ford, Patrick Henry, Robert Jackson, and Henry James

There are also quite a few names where the last name could be a first -

Jesse Jackson
Patrick Henry
Henry James
Lowell Thomas
Martin Luther
Rand Paul
Ed Bradley
Franklin Graham
James Ross
Ray Lewis
Hale Irwin
Maurice Richard
James Dean
Washington Irving
Paul Allen
William Morris
Rosalind Russell
Henry Ford (which would match somehow with Ford Sterling?)
Dylan Thomas
Hap Arnold

We also have Washington Irving and Isaiah Berlin.

And we have multiple Jacksons and Browns.

One of the keywords is Guyana and we have a Jones, but no Jim yet as far as I can see.

Probably none of this means anything. I'm just spitballing.

I didn't think it would take long, but I didn't expect people to get it that fast!

Of the 'definite' answers, six are incorrect - or, at least, not what I had in mind. I'm not going back to check if these are legitimate alternates because I think this will work itself out.

Of the ones with questions marks, four are right and four are wrong.

Of the ones wit alternates, two include the correct answer; one does not.
TANGREDI:
First names of the pair form the name of a person. Last names of the pair (in the opposite order) form the name of another person.
The Tangredi is obviously correct. However, there is an easier way of stating it that makes the game, per the title, 'sexy.'

I don't see how 14 can be Charley Pride. His signature song was always "Kiss an Angel Good Morning," and it came out in the early 70s. Plus, he had top five singles every year of the 1970s, including 1979.

My first thought was Kenny Rogers, but Lucille was much earlier than 1979. My second thought was Freddy Fender, but ditto for Before the Next Teardrop Falls.

I cannot find anyone who fits the clue.

I'm just thinking about country singers with first/last names and Roy Clark comes to mind. I don't know his discography though.
