Nancy Sinatra – 1940

Nancy Sinatra is the famous name behind the ’60s hit single These Boots Are Made for Walkin’. However, she has been quite popular from her younger years because she is the firstborn of the music legend Frank Sinatra. Since then, she’s already gathered a $50 million fortune.

Sinatra’s passion for music keeps her going even at the age of 80. In 2020, she even released a digital exclusive of her and Lee Hazlewood’s Indian Summer. She is also scheduled to launch a compilation album named Start Walkin’ 1965-1976 in 2021, which her iconic father would’ve been proud to see.

Tony Bennett — 1926

Anthony Dominick Benedetto came to be known as Tony Bennett after his songs started becoming hits. He entered the music scene in the late ’40s after serving his country through the US Army. When his 1951 song “Because of You” caught widespread attention, he’d never have imagined the various opportunities that would open up.

Bennett suffered from drug addiction and even had a near-fatal overdose in 1979. However, he turned his life around and managed to bank 57 studio albums (the latest being Love Is Here to Stay in 2018) and over 81 singles under his name. Today, Bennett is 94 years old and is yet to retire.

Linda Ronstadt – 1946

Linda Ronstadt touched the hearts of many through her beautiful voice. However, her fans were devastated when she announced her retirement in 2011. In 2013, she disclosed to AARP that she had Parkinson’s disease, which sadly claimed her singing ability.

Ronstadt has had a fantastic career to cherish, winning a plethora of awards, including ten Grammys and three American Music Awards. You can tell that she’s got a loyal fan base since she released 24 studio albums and 15 compilation or greatest hits albums for them to listen to. Now 74, Ronstadt starred in a documentary film, Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice, in 2019.
