You Must Remember This

At first read, this puzzle may seem a bit ridiculous.  Work through it and you'll see it's not nearly as difficult as it seems.  Last week's puzzle was way too easy!

Q:

Take the name of the famous singer, "Natalie Cole," 11 letters in all.  Take 3 pairs of letters (6 in all) and shift them 2 places higher in the alphabet.  You choose which pairs, but the numerical positions of each pair must add up to 13.  For example, if you shift the 2nd letter you must shift the 11th.  If you shift the 3rd, you must shift the 10th, etc.

Now take the new set of 11 and shift 1 letter up 2 places.  Rearrange them all to name a very well-known person from an earlier generation.






Good Luck.
