Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Little Richard are all around, 95, 86, and 75 respectively.

This surprises me every time I recall it.

Haha yeah, but I gotta agree with you on the surprise thing. I looked at those names and just assumed they were all dead, save Little Richard.

Well, he was the only one that willingly took himself out of the Rock scene, because he went Christian.

Jerry Lee Lewis married his 14yo cousin so everyone hated him, and Chuck Berry got busted transporting underage girls across state lines for prostitution.

I couldn't find anything about prostitution on Chuck Berry's wiki. He did apparently have a camera set up in a girl's bathroom at his restaurant, though.

ok, wasn't prostitution, had my history mixed up.

"By the end of the 1950s, Berry was an established star with several hit records and film appearances to his name, as well as a lucrative touring career. He had established a racially integrated St. Louis-based nightclub, called Berry's Club Bandstand, and was investing in real estate.[26] But in December 1959, Berry was arrested under the Mann Act after an allegation that he had sex with a 14-year-old Apache waitress whom he had transported over state lines to work as a hat check girl at his club.[27] After an initial two-week trial in March 1960, Berry was convicted, fined $5,000, and sentenced to five years in prison.[28] Berry's appeal that the judge's comments and attitude were racist and prejudiced the jury against him was upheld,[3][29] and a second trial was heard in May and June 1961,[30] which resulted in Berry being given a three-year prison sentence.[12] After another appeal failed, Berry served one and one half years in prison from February 1962 to October 1963.[12] Berry had continued recording and performing during the trials, though his output had slowed down as his popularity declined; his final single released before being imprisoned was "Come On".[31]"
