Singers who are over 60 and still can sing

Ah Swaggart! I once snuck into a Jimmy Swaggart event just to see how the other half lived, and all I can remember was that the sound-man didn't mic the snare drum...and so I assumed that a LOUD snare was too devilish.

 

Bruce Springsteen
Robin Zander
Richard Thompson

 

Fred Turner is a criminally underrated singer in my books.

 

Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie/Jcff Beck)

 

Al Jardine still sounds like he did in the glory days. myKe and Bruce's voices are shot.

 

Robert Wyatt

 

That's great! I love Sparks.

 

Fee Waybill
Todd Rundgren

 

Ray to the Davies.

 

Simon Nichol

 

June Tabor

 

John Jones

 

I saw Brian Wilson a few weeks ago, and as much as I hate to say it, his vocals were even rougher than I was expecting. It honestly made me kind of sad. Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin sounded really good though.

 

He and Stella still have incredible voices at 69 and 66 respectively! although they have become slightly weaker in spots in recent years, it's always impressive.

 

I saw him live on Tuesday night - what a voice!

 

I will say, that Jimmy S. can knock out the piano riffs, as good as Jimmy P. can on the guitar...

 

I am almost 65 and still do bass harmonizing quite well at church.

 

Bless you my son.

 

Should have added the word "well" after "sing" on the title. They all can sing even above a croak!

 

Off the top of my head:

Graham Parker
Phil Mogg (UFO)
John Hiatt
Paul Rodgers
Steve Hogarth (Marillion)
Colin Blunstone (Zombies)
Gary Brooker (Procol Harum)
Springsteen

I'm sure more will come to mind... Blunstone and Brooker are downright amazing these days...

 

Last week!

 

Robyn Hitchcock still sounds fantastic:
