    You're right about Young. Obviously this is even more true on the acoustic songs....

    How does he still do that? Amazing. His has got to be the best preserved voice in music. Wow...

    He absolutely can, though as can be expected, he brings the tunes way down to reach the notes these days. His smoothness has remained intact based on what I heard.

    Watching the Sammy Hagar episode of Live at Daryl's House.

    Sammy is 67. Daryl is 68. Both still sound very good.

    Jandek!
    supposedly 69 years old....
    Okay, so he never had that far to fall in the first place, but..
    He can still do what he did 30 years ago, just as well as he did it then. Whatever that's worth.
    Take that as you will!

    Another vote here for Colin Blunstone. His voice is the strongest ever with age.

    Jeff Lynne of ELO is now 67 and I think he sounds just about as good today as he did 30-35 years ago. If anything, his guitar work has improved and his vocal range is surprisingly decent:

    I definitely agree with Ann Wilson- she continues to deliver year after year...phenomenal vocalist with a voice that has really stood the test of time.
    Pat Benatar is another rocker who still has the chops. Has had to bring down the keys of much of her older stuff (they were often in the stratosphere anyway!) but she still has one of the most powerful live rock voices I've ever heard.
    Cyndi Lauper- I saw her perform the entire She's So Unusual album live onstage in 2013 with all songs being performed in their original keys and arrangements and it was spectacular. She is a criminally under-rated singer who also happens to be almost 62.

    Donald "Buck Dharma" Roser!

    He's sounded basically the same since 1985 (in a good way). Listen to this one...especially the chorus.....

    Her voice does not appear to have aged at all.

    Yes, I know very well what you mean but you're talking about hearing or sense of hearing.

    Paul Weller [57] can still hack it, singing / songwriting / performing.

    I loved Loretta Lynn-Van Lear Rose. She sounded marvelous on that album.
