How could you confuse U2 Bono with Sonny Bono?
Did Sonny Bono really play a role on the soundtrack "In the Name of the Father"?
Check out the credits.
I spent a good 15 minutes Googling to verify.

Be honest, have you ever seen them in the same room?
No, this is a mistake because they both have the same word in their names and someone who did the linking accidentally clicked the wrong thing.
I've been wondering whether data-entry uses type-ahead matching, because there are some names that closely resemble a real person, except with typos and with only a lone credit.

@rootsmusic Very astute. There is a pass that is done using automated methods that rely on a high rate of matching in order to make the link, and for things that are too close to link automatically, actual human beings do the linking. There are around a thousand albums that come out each week and every one of them have individual credits for songwriters, performers and producers, so there are always possible places where the data can be mislinked.
