1. Who founded Britain’s first nude strip club in 1958 – and by 1992 was listed in Business Age magazine as Britain’s richest man?
2. Who created the private eye Philip Marlowe?
3. In a long-running TV show, which character married Monica Geller?
4. Who sang the best-selling single of all-time?

Answers and connection, please?

2. Raymond Chandler
3. Chandler Bing
4. Bing Crosby white Christmas

So I'd guess number one had the surname Raymond and it's a string. No idea who is the UK's Hugh Hefner.

Two correct answers (well number 1 has one correct and two wrong....). Sicilian predated Italian, Tango.

It was during the reign of Frederick II (or Frederick I of Sicily) between 1198 and 1250, with his patronage of the Sicilian School of poetry, that Sicilian became the first of the Italic idioms to be used as a literary language (Cipolla 2004 p. 141). The influence of the school and the use of Sicilian itself as a poetic language was acknowledged by the two great Tuscan writers of the early Renaissance period, Dante and Petrarch. The influence of the Sicilian language should not be underestimated in the eventual formulation of a lingua franca that was to become modern Italian.

I guess it is close enough but, just like real life, you transposed things! French leave is unauthorized leave or going AWOL so is the answer to number 4. Number 2 is a Danish. So they are all chess openings with an ethnic element.
