Brenda Lee says she's been entertaining professionally since the age of seven. She is now 62 years old. That's 55 years in show business.

And she has a new CD out,
Gospel Duets with Treasured Friends

According to the program I watched -

Lee has sold more than 100 million records world wide, was a child/ teen singing sensation and household name in the 1950s and '60s, and she appeared on numerous TV shows over that span of time (and onwards).

She had a string of hits, including "Sweet Nothin's," "I'm Sorry" and others.

In addition, Brenda Lee is the only female performer to be both in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame AND the Country Music Hall of Fame.

Once again, Madonna supporters can take their "Madonna has been in show biz for 20+ years" mantra and bite me. :)

^ Please be sure to see the post I did above about Brenda Lee.

Springsteen has been recording and performing since the 1970s, so he's been around longer than Man-donna.

Bruce Springsteen Has 8th Career No. 1 Album
  • October 10, 2007 - 6:45am.

    The Boss has another No. 1 Album

    Nielsen SoundScan released its weekly album sales numbers today, and Bruce “The Boss” Springsteen has the No. 1 selling album for the eighth time in his career, though the number was far below a record for the veteran.

    Magic, a collaboration with the E Street Band (the first such album since 2002’s The Rising), sold 335,000 copies in the week ending October 7th. The album was also the top seller on British charts.

    By comparison, The Rising, a September 11th-themed album, sold 525,000 copies in its first week.

    The low sales volume for the music industry’s No. 1 album is nothing new; in 2007, album sales are down 14% compared to the same period last year, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

    Kanye West’s album Graduation is the only exception in an otherwise unspectacular year. The album sold 957,000 copies in its first week.

    Springsteen’s previous No. 1 albums include The River in 1980, Born in the U.S.A. in 1984, a 1986 boxed set of live music, Tunnel of Love from 1987, and Greatest Hits from 1995.

    The group launched a world tour last week.

    The tour is expected to fair well, especially considering the praise it has garnered in the media. Rolling Stone magazine gave the album 5 stars – a rarity for the publication.

    But with the recent trend set by Radiohead that allows fans to choose the price for the album, and the defection of other popular acts like Nine Inch Nails from the traditional label sales format, one wonders whether Bruce Springsteen is far from going out on his own as well.

    With album sales clearly short of what they once were, the consensus seems to be that touring is the real revenue earner. The album, in other words, serves as the teaser that gets fans to stadiums.

How about Prince? He released his first album in 1978. At 19, he wrote all the songs, played every instrument and did all the singing, and even produced it. Here it is in 2007 and he's still recording (he has released over 40 albums in his career) and performing (he recently played a long string of dates in London's O2 arena). Etc., etc. :good:

Rush is another long-lived band. They released their first album in 1974; their most recent album came out this year. They're still going strong on the road too. Last and not least, the band's three-man lineup hasn't changed since 1971 when they were still a "garage band"! :good:

Yes, you're right!

Someone did mention Prince on page 1 of this thread.

Also, in the United States, one of Prince's tours out-sold / was more popular than Madonna's "Reinvention Tour."

I posted online articles about that either at this board, or maybe at the old one.

At the moment, I can't find those articles online, but here's a similar one (or maybe this is one of the ones I was thinking of... :hmm: ):

Prince placed No. 1 on Rolling Stone list of top moneymakers - CNN Money
  • The artist currently known as king

    February 9, 2005

    Prince took first place on Rolling Stone's list of top moneymakers, Madonna placed No. 2: report.

    NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The artist formerly known as Prince is now the reigning king of pop music.

    The rock star, who once changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol, took in $56.5 million to place him first on Rolling Stone's annual list of top 50 moneymakers of 2004, the New York Post said on Wednesday.

    Prince, whose chart-topping hits include "Purple Rain" and "1999," beat out pop diva Madonna, who placed second, with $54.9 million, thanks to her "Re-Invention Tour," four children's books and the "American Life" CD, according to the Post.

    The article said Madonna actually earned more from her concert tour, but Prince took home higher net earnings due to lower production costs. The Post said it took only 12 trucks to haul Prince's tour around, while the Material Girl's show demanded 24 trucks.

    .... Rolling Stone bases its annual list on ticket and record sales, publishing and other related revenue.
Welcome to the board, btw.

--- EDIT ---

You mentioned Rush; how about AC/DC? I know they were recording music in the 1970s. Are they still? If so, I guess they'd count, and maybe KISS?

The Eagles were around in the 1970s and will be releasing a new album sometime this year or in the next couple of years (I just read about it somewhere last week). If so, they can be added to the list, too.

Thanks! :good:

I believe RIT and Prince's Musiclogy tour both grossed nearly the same amount of money; I'd have to do some googling. But Prince's ticket prices were a lot more affordable (I went four times)!! He made up the difference by playing a lot more shows and selling a lot more tickets. ;-) And as the article you quoted points out, since his production costs were lower, he made a bigger profit. ;-) :good:

AC DC's first album came out (in Australia) in 1975...their last album came out in 2000. Rumor says they may have a new one out next year.

According to Wiki, KISS put out their first album in 1974, and their most recent in 1998. (Not counting live albums, etc.)

#1 mandona hater

Mandona doesn't have any credibility within the music industry, because she is a sham and a rotten person to deal with.

The Rolling Stones are still touring and they're a real band. Most of the R&B and rock acts preceeding mandona are still around.

The thought just crossed my mind...

Supposing that Britney Spears doesn't kill herself...

If Spears -(or insert name of some other fluffy pop singer)- is still releasing pop albums when she's 80 years old and dancing about in skimpy clothing, would that be worthy of praise?

I think most people would laugh hysterically and say, "No. As a matter of fact, I think she should retire from the pop music scene now, or else by the time she's 35/40/45."

So why do people hail Madonna as some kind of genius over this?

Now, IMO, it depends. Cher was able to pull off the pop music stuff well into her 50s because she seemed somewhat dignified about it.

Into her 50s, Cher did continue to wear some trendy (but usually age-appropriate) clothing, but I don't recall her wearing skimpy stuff on stage (like say a too tight purple leotard, ahem!), or pretending as though she could rap like an inner -city, 25 year old black male (*cough*, American Life's "mini-cooper super dooper," *cough*).

In a news story about a list of TV's greatest icons, TV talk show host Regis Philbin made this comment, which could just as easily apply to Madonna:
  • "If you hang around long enough, they call you an icon."
I've had a mold problem in my shower for over a year now; bleach seems partially successful at wiping it out, but traces of it still show up. I guess if we measure icon status on time length alone, this would make my shower mold "iconic." And Madonna isn't any better than shower mold.

The Evolution of Cher
  • Feb 2008
    Superstar singer Cher may not have invented the idea of an iconic, crossover success with career longevity, but she perfected it.

    A rarity, she is the only artist to have a hit song in each of the last four decades -- a huge feat in an industry known for its fickle appetite. Now the formerly retired legend is working on her 27th studio album and may take Celine Dion's place at Caesars Palace.
- I think she's one of the people who invented it - her and Joan Crawford, David Bowie...

We have a Marilyn Monroe thread, but I felt this was more fitting for this thread (I might cross post this story to that thread later).

Avedon portrait of Marilyn fetches four times the estimate
  • April 10, 2008

    You have to hand it to her: 45 years after her death, Marilyn Monroe still has the power. A portrait of the actress ... by Richard Avedon [see below], included in The First Post's preview of American photography on sale in Manhattan this week, went for $380,000 - almost four times its upper estimate of $70,000 - when the hammer came down at Sotheby's New York.

    The ultra-naturalistic portrait [of Marilyn Monroe], taken in May 1957 in New York City, was part of the Quillan collection of 19th and 20th century photographs which fetched a total of $8.9m, far exceeding the pre-sale estimate of $4.6m. The sale set records for 19 photographers, including Avedon.

Turner has been acknowledged as one of the world's most popular and biggest-selling music artists of all time and is the most successful female rock artist of all time with record sales exceeding 180 million.
As per this article she started her carreer at 16 so in 1955,
2008-1955= A magnificent 53 years total.

    NEW YORK, April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Celebrating four decades of milestones, DONNA SUMMER adds another accomplishment to her list with the recent success of "I'm A Fire."

Working with Donna are renowned writers and producers including: Greg Kurstin (Lily Allen, Pink), Danielle Brisebois (Natasha Bedingfield, New Radicals), JR Rotem (Sean Kingston, Rihanna), Toby Gad (Fergie, Natasha Bedingfield), Evan Bogart (co-writer of Rihanna's smash "SOS" and the son of legendary record executive, Casablanca Records founder and Donna's mentor, Neil Bogart), and Lester Mendez (Shakira, Santana).

I found another TV star:

Tony Orlando,
even went to his concert back then, he still tours and still viable. He 's still booked and he was always booked in advance those days too.

http://www.tonyorlando.com/?mod=tdates

Its funny to listen again buts its still good stuff. Not exactly the genre of music that our generation were exposed to constantly. But the lyrics and music just make you melt away.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXIykBsqcoA&feature=related

He started his career in 1960. That makes him working for 48 years, whats the big deal Mandoona sighned her new touring contract.

There is absolutely no marketing for this guy no ads at all. I remember seeing an ad of him in 1976, that was the last I heard of him.

In fact I had forgotten completely,
just now I remembered this singer (because of watching Tom Jones, Micheal Jackson, Elvis constantly on TV in the 70's, those were the best era's of music) found he still tours and doesn't need himself to be smacked on your face by advertisements in order to sell with videos that show people taking off their clothes.
He has that magnetic affect with no controversy.

Cyndi Lauper released her new album "Bring You To The Brink" on May, 27th 2008.
It's quite good. Think "Confession On A Dancefloor" but without the cheap sound, and meaningless lyrics (New York/Dork... No comments!)!
Cyndi released "She's So Unusual" in 1983 which made a 25 years carreer of talent and integrity (a word unknown to Man-Donna). Unfortunately none seems to bring up this fact when speaking about her carreer.
Anyway, if you like Techno, Euro Dance and meaningful Pop music with good vocals (something that also remain unknown to Mandonna), you should really give it a chance!

How to make good dance music without looking trashy and/or desperate when you're 54 years?

Gloria Estefan was lead singer for The Miami Sound Machine, which had several hit songs back in the 1980s.

Gloria Estefan later did some solo albums, and if I'm not mistaken, she had a few hit solo songs in the 1990s (or maybe those hit solo songs were in the 80s).

I do not know if she was recording or working in the 1970s, but she has been around since the 1980s.

(I know this headline/story mentions Madonna wanting to become pregnant, but please, do not derail this thread by commenting on that aspect of this link; please use the "Lourdes / Rocco/ David" thread (or even the "Abortion" thread) to discuss that, thanks.
If you're wondering where you can find those threads, please start using the Index threads: here, here, here.)

How Gloria Estefan Overcame a Crippling Accident and Helped Madonna Conceive
  • By Lisa Sewards
    Last updated at 12:43 AM on 05th September 2008

    The last time Latin diva Gloria Estefan performed here she sold out nine nights at Wembley Arena.

    Now she's sitting in the tranquil tropical garden of her Miami mansion, preparing to perform in Britain for the first time in more than a decade.

    Gloria remains one of the richest and most successful pop stars in the world. Her albums still sell by the millions, most usually go platinum, and her singles continue to rise magically to the top of the charts with her famous brand of uptempo Latin pop.

    And yet we have seen much less of her since March 1990. Until then, life for Gloria and her family was going swimmingly.

    The Estefan experience was seemingly unstoppable. They were pop's ambassadors and even won plaudits from the then-President, George Bush Snr.

    But their idyllic life took a dramatic turn. Their tour bus - with Gloria, her husband Emilio and their son Nayib, then nine, on board - was involved in a horrific road accident when it collided with a juggernaut on a Pennsylvania highway.
And note this last part of the article:
  • 'But Emilio [Gloria's husband] convinced me to carry on with the band and turn full-time professional,' she explains. He wanted the superstardom for me.'

    In recent years, this has included other areas outside music - she has also written her third bestselling children's book and has just finished a screenplay with singer Connie Francis about Francis's life.

    Gloria will play her in the movie, which she hopes will start filming next year.

    Meanwhile, the Estefans' fortune has been invested wisely in hotels, restaurants and leisure complexes.

    Their latest is a new hotel on Vero Beach in Florida. But as Gloria insists: 'I could have anything I want but don't want for anything. The biggest gift is being back on tour - this time with the daughter I once thought I could never have.'
So why don't we see all these feminist weenies toss Gloria's name out as an example of a "savvy business woman" who "does it all" etc?
