Petula Clark (89)
Gayla Peevey (79)
Chad Morgan (89)
For those wondering who Chad is, you'll perhaps recognise this song.
He actually performed a couple month back at a pub not far from me, and he's still drawing in the fans.

Quite amazingly it seems that nobody mentioned so far Jerry Lee Lewis, who is now 86.

Ah yes... I imagined someone had to have mentioned him.

Larry Collins of the 1950's country/rockabilly act The Collins Kids is still around. His sister Lorrie was the other Collins Kid, but she passed away in 2018.

I just saw Peter Kraus "the German Elvis" on German TV last night. He's is 83 years old and just released a new CD with some younger musicians. He started recording in the late 1950s on 78s. Quite interesting stories he told.

He just passed, sadly. Saw him play live on a 50's revival tour in 1987. (Also on the bill were the Del Vikings, Carl Perkins, and Chuck Berry. Fats Domino was also supposed to come but had to cancel due to illness. Perkins signed several things for me after the show.)Marco Gilardetti wrote: ↑Tue Sep 13, 2022 4:18 am Quite amazingly it seems that nobody mentioned so far Jerry Lee Lewis, who is now 86.
