Oh, and \*\*Zeldar \*\* and **5-4 Fighting**'s guesses are all correct. Well played! That leaves: Allan Chevy (try generic) Andy Large (sports figure) David Barcelona (Spain was on the right track) ---

Please allow me to see my own stupidity and tell me about the Czar chick. All I seem to be able to get is Peters, Ivans, Terribles, Alexanders and that sort of thing. None of that goes with any Shirley I’m familiar with. Shirley Jones Shirley MacLaine (sp?) Shirley Horn You don’t mean Molly Ivins do you? ---

[Thesaurus.com](http://m.reference.com/t/search.html?q=Caesar&show=2) shows Czar and Caesar as synonyms. Therefore, clues were: 1. If you hear thundering hooves, it’s probably not a herd of zebras ( **it’s simpler than you think** ). 2. Just remember **it’s right in front of you** , that’s the **gospel** truth. Answer: [Shirley Caesar](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shirley_Caesar) is a famous gospel singer (also first listed with two other gospel singers). I know there was some logic in what I posted, but perhaps I failed at getting it across. You get points for guessing Molly Ivins is her sister though and that Shirley sang at her funeral. 😉 ---

I’m just now seeing the Ivins addition to your comments (must have added that after I started my response). That is spooky! ---
