[ ... ] Dion
Julie Andrews
Bob Dylan
Frankie Valli
Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr
Mick Jagger & Keith Richards
Van Morrison [ ... ] — Mikie

The only name of the still-living that surprises me on this list is Keith Richards. :death: :flower:

True— but you know what really surprised me? Frankie Valli. He was big before Dylan and the Beatles!

Well, cross Bennett off the list…
:confused:

I know Dick Van Dyke's grandson. Good dude.

If the list were in order, Mick Jagger & Keith Richards would be at the top...

But these people started so young and got so famous so quickly that it’s as if they’ve been in the background since the 1880s. — Mikie

?

That’s cool!

Lost this week.

Jane Birkin - Je t'aime.

They sneaked this into the 9th Grade end of year dance, Oh the memories of being 15!

Carlos Santana should be on the list maybe, he is close to 80.

It would be a shame to lose him, great music over so many decades.

A little “young” for the above list, but I’ve added anyway because it FEELS like he’s been around since the Big Bang.

Henry Kissinger !!! 100 years old.
I was also surprised to hear Tommy Steele was still alive!

Kissinger…yeah. Don’t know if it’s fantastic, but certainly bizarre.

Hey, he is older than Cat Stevens and only a couple of years younger that Niel Young.

Touche.

And he can make that guitar sing like no other. :rofl:

If you watch his videos, quite a few of the band's members get a moment of solo playing, something a lot of the great artists don't do. Even with guests, he takes backseat quite often.

One of my favorites.

Another one bites the dust. Bob Barker, at 99.

Henry Kissinger, 100.

Charles Munger, 99.

How is Diana Ross only 79?

How is Diana Ross only 79? — Mikie

Because there are still a few days until she is 80, on March 26.

I like this thread. It presents a good death watch so we can be on the look out and not be surprised when someone drops off.

My fear though is that one day I'll log on and find my name crossed off from the living. I think I'll feel somewhat slighted, having been alive all this time and then only learning second hand by reading about it on a website. I just feel like something like that deserves an in person conversation, or at least a phone call.

Paul Hogan is 84. I remember when he was just a pedestrian TV comedian, before he sold out with that pedestrian mega hit, Crocodile Dundee.

Every time I see or hear a name, or come across some legend on Wikipedia that only has a “born” date, I add it to the list. Robert Wagner? I couldn’t believe that he was still alive.

Some people seemed old even when I was a kid, like the same age they are now. Which is strange, because from a certain perspective they haven’t aged in 40 years.

If you were in a coma starting in 1967, and woke up today 56 years later, much of the following list would make you feel right at home. — Mikie

And just how many persons from 1967 would know many from that list? Somebody not from Georgia surely will have difficulties to know the Georgia State Senate member Jimmy Carter, who had then only lost a Georgia gubernatorial election. You also have to be quite a Space fan to know Buz Aldrin in 1967, even if he then had I guess two space missions on his record (and the longest space walk). Then it was the Mercury Astronauts that were famous. Not the Gemini and the Apollo missions were just going on...

Makes me think how many will be around when it is 2080. Yep, there surely will be those that are now for example 10-29 years and we have no idea of them how powerful and well known they will be in the 2080's. However, there are those who we might know.

Justin Bieber, 86 years.
Jennifer Lawrence, 90 years.
Taylor Swift, 91 years.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 95 years.
Madonna, 122 years.

Now, when they estimate that people born now will likely to reach an average age of 100, I'm sure the list will be long.

And just how many persons from 1967 would know many from that list? — ssu

I’ve gradually added to the list. It made more sense in the original list. But good point.

Madonna, 122 years. — ssu

Hopefully not. Good lord.

I just realized Ethel Kennedy is still alive. How is that possible? Wow…

RFK got killed in 1968 and they already had 11 kids.
