Vince Clarke

All of his career work with Depache Mode, Yaz(oo), Erasure, & other side projects is more then enough evidences to show that he has been great past age 50.

Michael died at age 50 before he could unleash the greatest tour someone his age had ever done.

It was also off topic to bring up how many instruments Prince plays.

Neil Diamond released two critically acclaimed albums in the last decade - 12 Songs in 2005 and Home Before Dark in 2008. He turned 70 this year.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

In the 1980s, age didn't matter and not only did they release new music, but the stuff they released became hits. I don't know if they were over 50 yet back then but they had been successful artists in the 1960s and 1970s and continued on being successful in the 1980s....folks like Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, The Temptations, and Gladys Knight and The Pips.

True, I don't know how old Tina was (I guess in her 40's) but she had huge hits and Joe

Cocker had more hits and Best Of's than the young stars wink Rod Stewart, Elton John or Billy Joel..all in their 40's and huge succes!!

And it didn't matter if they were 40 or 50, I guess these days things have changed. We bougth the singles from 'older' or young artists, we didn't care.

I guess Bruce Springsteen does well and still gets airplay..The Rising was a good thing for him, especially in the US. And Prince his albums always go 2 the top of the charts<US and Europe, so that's not bad...but airplay is a bit a problem 4 him, always the older hits.

And 4 those who like Dylan..he's still revelant..well, he always looked old lol

Why do you people even respond to negative & cynical people or read what they post? Waste of time. lol No one's forcing anybody to read anyone else's comments.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Did Michael Jackson "create great music past the age of fifty?" No.

Hense, off topic.

finger What is your problem? Why must you shove your opinions down everyone else's throat. Can someone ban him? This forum would be at peace if someone did. You are a sick sick SICK human being and I'm sure several people agree with me
