So, I believe that leaves Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Chubby Checker from that time line (at least that I can think of that is well known). I know that quite a few of singers from that time has passed on really young.
Dion is a couple years older than Chubby Checker and he's still recording. I'm not saying he's still relevant outside of his own fan base. Although I think it's plenty relevant for one of the only original rock and rollers to still be recording outside of oldies shows. And he still sounds good. Little Anthony is still around. There are a lot of others but you've probably never heard of them. Jimmy Beaumont just passed away. Voice like butter.
