Some odd groups made private recordings in those days. I wouldn’t think that 78 is worth much. |

How many British performers who appeared on 78rpm records are still alive? It’s a dwindling band of stars whose career began prior to the last British 78s being made in 1961 (1960 for the major labels). From the latter days of the era in the late 1940s and 1950s we still have:
Shirley Bassey Petula Clark Teddy Johnson Pearl Carr Cliff Richard Marty Wilde Tommy Steele Rose Brennan Marion Keene/Davis Diana Decker June Whitfield Teddy and Babs Beverley (Beverley Sisters) Shani Wallis Engelbert Humperdinck (as Gerry Dorsey) Cleo Laine Barry Cryer Jim Dale Terry Dene Hank Marvin and Bruce Welch (The Shadows) Jeannie Carson Johnny Brandon Craig Douglas Vince Eager Dennis Lotis Rosemary Squires Des O'Connor Glen Mason Lorrae Desmond Chris Barber Mike Preston Colin Hicks Joy Adams (Joy and David) Shirley Abicair Joe Brown Laurie London Jackie Dennis Glynis Johns Bernie Burgess (The Four Jones Boys) Annie Ross (now an American citizen) Sally Ann Howes Chas McDevitt Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (speech) The Duke of Edinburgh (introduces a Frank Sinatra recording) Laurie Johnson But going back to the 1930s I think these are the last survivors: Helen Clare (aged 101) Vera Lynn (100) Mary Lee (96) Millicent Philips (93) Any others, particularly from the 30s? I doubt there’s anyone around who recorded in the 1920s (in Britain). Edited by moderator on 27th Sep 2018, 8:23 PM |

Thanks, I’ve added her. I appreciate the last two replies with more corrections, but they had all been removed from the original list already. It might be because people were looking at my original post as quoted by zabadak on this page. But if you see the first post on page 1, it is updated. |

I'll look again at the list on page 1 of the thread later today and will see if I can help further. Mark |

| MrPasta SUBS Member since Mar 2012 1846 Points | I see Joe Brown is on the list (presumably as in the Bruvvers) but I can't see 78 for him - at least not on this site. Am I missing something? |

Am I missing something? I think it’s because the Decca label book by Paul Pelletier lists his debut single as issued on 78 - the 7” is on 45cat here: https://www.45cat.com/record/f11185uk However, I can’t find any images of the 78 online. That’s probably why I didn’t add it here. A user of Rate Your Music lists it in his collection. He’s on this site too, so I’ve sent him a message. It’s possible that it could have been issued on 78 and that it hasn’t been sold online in recent years. It wasn’t a hit. Perhaps some of those late 78s haven’t survived at all. Update: the user only has the 45. So the 78 was apparently issued, but its existence isn’t confirmed. Edited by mister_tmg on 10th Apr 2021, 3:08 PM |

| mister_tmg Also on 78rpm Member since Apr 2012 1118 Points | Added Mandy Miller. Still alive aged 76, she'll be 77 in a few weeks. She was making records aged 8, in 1952/53. |
