Sure, they aren't the Beatles, but when I was mid 20s I knew the major artists of the 40s 50s
Is that the right comparison, though? Eric Clapton and Carlos Santana are major artists of the 1970's - more than fifty years ago. Sure, they continued to have the occasional hit into the 80's and early 90's - but that's really their era, where most of their major work is from. Just like Sinatra is a 50's and 60's era guy, even though Theme from New York, New York was one of his bigger hits and didn't come until the 1980's.
Unless you're a lot younger than I thought, the more apt comparison for you would be to the pre-WWII performers of the 30's or 20's.
You really up on all those Big Bands and Swing Orchestras?
