D: Does not have a name that begins with "D".
E: Does not have a name that begins with "E".

Free guess

C: Clyde from Pac-Man
A lot of times when someone gets the answer on these, I can see, logically, how they were able to put all of the information together to narrow it down. But every now and then I'm dumbfounded....
Pac-Man is possibly the most famous pre-1981 video game. I knew it couldn't be Pac-Man himself (main character) so I thought maybe one of the ghosts. I chose Clyde because there's no ghost named Yorkshire or Wales.

D: Has professionally sang (but does not write his own songs, as far as I can tell). Singing may or may not be what he is famous for.

Also, Pac-Man was already done in round #101...

Lots of questions to be used on person B; some of the other persons may be running out of questions. I reserve the right to award additional questions to be asked if that would improve gameplay (I'd rather not simply give hints).
