I see:

Marion Morrison aka John Wayne in el Alamo.
Lenny Bruce, comedian.
Nun- Sister Wendy Beckett.

You have the singer in there, and some elements of the song. You might work it out now.

It’s late here, and I need some shut-eye, so will check back tomorrow. Good solving. TTFN…

It’s late evening where I live. I’m done, except that the composer/singer involved might be John Lennon. You folks in Australia will now have the day to contemplate the meaning of the rest of the clues. I look forward to your answers.

Looks like it’s just you then @Canuck 😉

You have the singer (John Lennon), so I’ll just offer a few words that allude to each of the images for the song title.

All ya gotta do is figure out the right word.

I’ll post the answer tomorrow, if no takers…

Instant/ground
Automobile/car
Ma (we all know this one)
Wee/pee
Awl
Sun/shine
Power/on

You can do it, @Canuck 👍

@Syzygy nailed it! I would never have figured that one out without help. I guess it all comes down to what our tastes in music are. I never bought a Beatles, Rolling Stones, or John Lennon album in my life. Imagine my going to the trouble of actually identifying the nun. As to Lenny Bruce? I showed the picture to our son, and within 15 seconds, he identified him!)

Well played, @Syzygy

A silver star for @Canuck , as he did suggest it might have been John Lennon.

The clues were/are understandable. What is the issue in the obscurity (to me) of the subject the clues referred to. Now, let me think. What can I do to come up with a real stinker! 😁

Good one.
Like Doug I never got into the Beatles, so me looking at the clues was like a beagle looking at a nuclear power plant control panel.

Anybody awake out there? Here’s a challenge for the most staunch rebus aficionado. Might be tough! Might be somebody will surprise me. A famous “machine” 😗. (Revenge for John Lennon!)

Tough, I admit, but too tough? One clue will get the attention of the astute rebus pro which will point to the answer. That’s all I’m gonna say for the time being.

Wow! I thought this one would be tough! Two of the answers you’ve given, need to be given some thought. Most of the optional answers you’ve suggested, contain the right word. But it is like playing Scrabble. You only need to put everything in their right order. I included one clue that I thought might be a dead giveaway. I’ll include another clue. You know my nationality! (This image is of no value in finding the answer. It’s just intended to keep you trying!) 😁

As it’s nearly midnight, I’m going to need my beauty sleep, but I’m hoping some revelatory insight might appear in my dreams.

Looks like you’ve posted a stinker… 😕

A stinker? Not really! You have almost answered it! Can someone take a look at @Charlemagne1333 ‘s answers with fresh eyes. He has virtually answered the rebus! It just needs someone to do a bit of sorting, and behold, there will be an answer. (I have given one indirect clue referring to one of the clues, and another direct clue mentioning my nationality!)

Work on these answers from @Charlemagne :

Media
Stave/clef (he got the key of F right.)
Buick/Century

The other answers are all there!

The CF-100 was actually named after our very own @Canuck!
