Miles Davis is easily one of the most famous musicians who ever lived in any era.

These young kids know nothing about Miles Davis. On the flip side, senior citizens know who Kanye and R. Kelly are.

Criteria: Birthplace and lived until at least 10yrs of age.

I like this criteria but I dont think birthplace should count. For example, if someone was born in Oregon but moved to NY when they were 3 and they are 20 years old now that person is from NY not Oregon.
