28 Yesteryear Celebrities Who are Still Alive and Kickin’
Don Maddox, 95 years old
Don Maddox is a musician who belonged to the famous Hillbilly musical band Maddox Brothers and Rose, which consisted of 4 brothers and their sister, Rose. This colorful band is credited for shaping the musical style of Bakersfield Sound which is still loved by many. But before the siblings became famous, they were poor farmers during the Depression era, and moved from place to place to eke out a living. But everything changed once they discovered their musical talents and started performing for the public and eventually moving on to the radio and TV. Don is now the last living member of the band which disbanded in 1955. He did go on to have a solo career, but nothing as big as Maddox Brothers and Rose. Because the 95-year-old can never leave his first love -music – Don can be seen performing at his shows, even today.
