Could have sworn Petula Clark died a few years back, but still with us at 91.

Roy Haynes, 98.
Reminded of Roy because he and Petula are two of the only artists I know of whose recording careers began in the 1940s.

the Corey thing may be a coping mechanism, viz. knowledge of Feldman's premature death is easier to process than knowledge of "watch Corey twerk

trumpeter Ray Anthony (102) made his recording debut in 1940 as a member of the Glenn Miller Orchestra. but if you're alive in 2024 and you've heard of Ray Anthony, then the only thing you're likely to know about him is that he's really fucking old

Marshall Allen is on recordings from 1949! I had no idea.

that's cool! it looks like he's recording and released something in every decade between the 1940s and the 2020s

I watched the 1956 musical comedy The Girl Can't Help It last night; Fats Domino and Little Richard are gone, but which musical performers from the film are still around?

John Woodvine, English actor, from the 50s and apparently still working(!), 94.

... 1950s onwards, that is.
I thought Woodvine had died after he collapsed on stage a decade ago, pleased to see he's still with us. He's the same age as Colin Jeavins, who retired 30 years ago.
June Spencer, the sole survivor of the original Archers broadcast, still with us at 104.
