Johnny Thunder, Don Preston, Petula Clark; all 90 years old.
I guess Petula doesn't go Downtown as much anymore. I Know a Place, where she can go. The Other Man's grass is Always Greener. But Don't Sleep in the Subway. Back in the 60's during the British Invasion, you could tell that Petula was older than most of the other British singers and band members. She was born in 1932. She was already 32 when she released Downtown, and she was 33 when I bought her 45 rpm single, I Know A Place.
