Would've thought Mavis Staples had deserved to be mentioned.

It looks like Leonard is the oldest one on the list who can still handle a major world tour schedule. Also (except for Pete Seeger) the only one without a Top 40 hit, which makes his ability to fill all those concert halls all the more remarkable.

I guess they had to put Art Garfunkel on the list, since they couldn't have Paul Simon and not include him, but "going strong" hardly describes his musical career at this point, which makes me very sad. Also, I'm glad I saw the Everly Brothers on that Simon & Garfunkel tour (the one time I saw them together).
