    We're after a musician. And a reasonably famous one at that.

    We're after a musician who's not American. Mind you, not all of the Monkees were American either (goodness, was that another clue?)

    No, although both used humans as guinea pigs, my person at least did it for the potential benefit to mankind.

    Would be poor form too since we've already been over Mengele

    A quick guess - Calvin Klein.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Oh the blossum to sarah thing was the give away, He took cowpox from blossum the cow and gave it to Sarah the with the idea it would vacinate sarah from getting small pox which was deadly back then. Although its thought Benjamin Jesty had done it at least a decade before then with less noise.
    I think it was edward jenner. I saw a series on disease a while back. Had to google his name though.

    It was indeed Edward Jenner. Blossom the cow gave cowpox to Sarah, Jenner gave a dose of it to James Phipps and then infected poor old James with smallpox but luckily for James, Smallpox didn't take hold. Bish bash bosh, immunization was bornded.

    As for other chaps getting there beforehand , yet almost forgotten in the history books, it's sadly, often a common thing. I believe you had a kiwi flyboy that was running commercial flights before the wright brothers got off the ground. That's life eh.

    Well done, on ya go.
    Oh bugger
