Jon Anderson is 75 years old and his voice has barely changed since the '80s.

To me, the ultimate old dude who sings amazing still is Billy Joel. The dude is 71 and still sounds great.

I threw together a video charting Ted Neeley's voice from 1972 to now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB78JaEHeZoPretty impressive how the old man keeps it up so long, although there's an obvious decline, particularly in his 70s. |

youtu.be/emcacQYaYd4Russell Mael of Sparks is around 68 I believe in this video, and currently 72. The guy still sings incredibly well, and hits the high notes like he was still in his 20's.

Tim Baker from Cirith Ungol is 63 and is still the same shrieking banshee he was 40 years ago with almost literally no change in tone. On top of that, the more tuneful side of his singing is better developed now than it was in his classic era. I cannot stress how incredible this guy is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS2SFPFmSoQ#t=3m15sHe literally uses the most unhealthy gritty screaming voice nonstop for the entire concert, and has been doing it for 40 years straight. Anybody who thinks that all tenors are doomed to become baritone with age need to take a long hard look at Tim. Unless he's always been baritone idk, his high notes are always gritty so its hard to tell, but I remember him doing easy low singing on songs like Chaos Rising. |

Tony Bennett.
These may be unpopular opinions, but Harry Nilsson and Paul McCartney. I know a lot of people like to hate on Macca's voice in recent years, but I actually don't think it sounds that bad, just different. And honestly, I actually like Nilsson's voice a little better after he ruptured his vocal cord. I think his voice deepened beautifully in the 80s and 90s.

Sir Cliff Richard in his 80s but still sounds nice in front of the packed stadiums and moving quite lively too

Gary Brooker, ladies and gentlemen. Awesome how he's never dialled down that big, chesty sound, and can still do it pretty much as well as ever.

This is pretty darn good for an 85-year-old.
She has to hold back in places. But she nails the crescendos, and that vibrato is still good

Most of the iconic metal singers of several decades ago still sound pretty great. Rob Halford, Marko Hietala from Nightwish, James Hetfield, Joey Belladonna from Anthrax, Geoff Tate, Ronnie James Dio (when he was still alive), and of course Bruce Dickinson and Glenn Hughes all sound(ed) really strong even though their ages range from their mid-50s (Marko Hietala) to early 70s (Halford, Hughes)
