Two puzzles: any answers, please?

A fellow SDMB member, Bronze, sent me an email today with the following puzzles in it:

(1) Rearrange the following letters to give the name of a famous singer:
W V E I S D T E E O R N

(2) What is the next number in this series?

103   107    109    113    127 ...

Help, please? This is driving us nuts. Many thanks in advance. :slight_smile:

Stevie Wonder.

129

I think the next (prime) number is 131.

Damn.

Many, many thanks, folks. :slight_smile:
