    Willie's doing pretty great still!

    Also very happy to see Bob mentioned on the first page.
    Of course he can still sing, and take the listener for several journeys.
    Unfortunately he's also on the first page of the other thread,
    So the forum scores a draw for today.

    Simon&Garfunkel did great on their comeback tour about 10-12 years ago

    Candi Staton. If anything, she's getting better.

    Glenn Hughes! I saw him supporting Slash back in December and he blew me away! He sounds better than most singers in their 20's! He got up and did Burn at the end with Miles Kennedy too!

    Robin Zander also gets my vote! Also it's nice to see a bit of love for Be Bop Deluxe on here - Bill Nelson is awesome!

    He still sounds good yes, and has produced three quality albums in a row in recent years. I saw him perform a couple of years ago and couldn't quite believe that someone around the same age as my dad could still rock out so well!

    I saw him perform several months ago and his voice sounded terrific.

    Klaus Meine - Scorpions (66) I don't think I've seen his name. For rock singers, still pretty impressive.

    I think it's only right that Rickie Lee Jones gets a mention. I saw her perform Pirates in London, roughly 4 years ago, and she was stunning (although she was only 56 back then, so maybe it doesn't count!)

    I was amazed at the Buffalo Springfield reunion a few years back how well Richie Furay's voice has held up. He's coming up on 71 in a few days and still has got it.

    Rosanne Cash will be 60 in 3 weeks and her voice is great, undoubtedly because she doesn't tour heavily.

    Definitely Robin Zander and Ann Wilson.
    Definitely not Ian Gillan.

    I just saw Loretta Lynn a couple of weeks ago: 83 years young and she still sounded great.

    From the chick-psych grove, Linda Perhacs,Vashti Bunyan, Shelagh McDonald and Judy Dyble still sound fine.

    Christopher Cross sounds pretty much the same and in this video I think it is probably the backup vocalist(s) hitting the sour notes.

    Sadly, I just read something recently about Garfunkel not being able to sing any more. His singing voice is gone.
