I've been thinking of some of the most ingenious, gifted people of the 20th century, and I've come up with a few names. I might give reasoning later, but here's what I have so far.
Jim Henson
Van Morrison
George Michael
James Taylor
Albert Einstein
I'm sure that I have more, but this is a good start I suppose.

Jim Henson - No question. Taught millions of Americans its ok for our kids to be creative.
Van Morrison - Don't know enough but find it odd he doesn't like to play any of his hits live.
George Michael - I'm I thinking the of right person? The 80s heart throb?
James Taylor - Love his music but heard he was kind of a jerk.
Albert Einstein - Helped create gun powder...awesome
In response to your thoughts, here's some supporting evidence.
Van Morrison- As we all know from the antics of Joaquin Phoenix and the like, sometimes geniuses are a little quirky. Morrison has written all kinds of hits, including Brown Eyed Girl, Have I Told you Lately, Wild Night, Crazy Love, Domino, and Gloria.
George Michael- Yes, one and the same. His first CD is phenomenal. Faith, Kissing a Fool, Father Figure, and One More Try, along with other songs later on like Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me and Fast Love. I think he's a gifted songwriter.
James Taylor- True, he's struggled with relationships and depression, but his music and lyrics are powerful.
