I assume you mean not from countries like India etc.?

A clue in the title "Surviving British 78rpm singers"

Yes, thanks, I saw that!!!

I meant British singers who were on 78s from other countries, like Mr. McCartney!

Also, I dare say there are some who recorded on Embassy who are still with us?

I thought that might have been a reference to British Empire countries. I suppose the Beatles were on Indian 78s very late on but I’d rather stick to British 78s.

Cleo Laine is on the list. Joe Brown’s first Decca single was indeed available on 78rpm.

When Cliff was born India was British so all inhabitants of the Raj automatically became British citizens.

Elvis Lives..I'm sure I read that somewhere..or maybe he was just anagram-med?

I would think there may be a couple of members left from The Drifters ( but I have not looked up Obits ). Performers from the 1930s are going to be pretty young then and fairly old now, maybe a recording Parrot or Two ? Bands may still be going though personnel have changed - Military and Dance bands, and I suspect a few artists from the1960s cut demo , acetate or local record booth 78 discs in the 1950s or a bit later before they got famous.

Yes indeed. Little Joan Stansbury was on a Crown 78 from the 30s with Vera Lynn, sounding like a little girl. She could be alive but I can’t find any info.
