Ramblin' Jack Elliott turned 92 recently. He's on some 78's for the Topic label in the UK in the 1950's.

Sadly, international artist Caterina Valente is no longer with us. She died September 9, aged 93.

Mary Schneider is still living, unfortunately her sister Rita passed away quite some time ago.
As the Schneider Sisters they recorded arguably what was the first "rock and roll" record in Australia (recording dates, releases etc weren't recorded back then, so it's one of three contenders for the title). The sisters recorded yodelling and novelty songs on Regal Zonophone 78's.
