Can you name a band who released their first album in 1970 or earlier where all the original members are still alive?


I was just having this discussion with someone over lunch and it was pretty difficult. I could only come up with Black Sabbath and Genesis. Minimum three members.

I checked. You are correct. I thought they had more than 3 members.

Rick Davies was diagnosed with multiple myleoma years ago, which has a 90% fatality rate (within the first 5 years) but I actually see he's been playing with G.E. Smith at a local pub somewhere in California, as well as a good interview by this annoying Italian guy.

How about the group YES??

Chris Squire died a while back.

The Archies - it's a cartoon band but I think it counts.

"Sugar Sugar" was released on May 24, 1969, and the album "Everything Archie" was released in 1969.

The main musicians who wrote and played "Sugar Sugar" on the album; Ron Dante, Toni Wine, and Andy Kim, are all still alive.

Feel free to laugh, but The Archies are a nostalgic band for me. My cousin and I got into the comics in the early 90s and my dad bought me a CD with all their hits.

No shame in that lol.

That song Sugar, Sugar is really catchy and I listen to it pretty regularly.
