    For those of you, who like me, had to stop and think, what character did he play in Lord of the Rings? Turns out he was the old Rohan dude who shot his arrow prematurely into an Orc at the Battle of the Hornburg (Helms Deep) starting the charge in The Two Towers.

    I truly believe that every rock singer since Little Richard has tried to sing like Little Richard and very few have ever succeeded.

    Only Jerry Lee left now. Probably figured he would be the first ones gone. Lucky he made it out of the 50s.
    Technically, half of the Everly Brothers still here. But half of the Everly Brothers really not the Everly Brothers

    He died over 30 years ago.

    I was referring to the original 10 inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    Elvis
    Chuck Berry
    Little Richard
    Jerry Lee Lewis
    Fays Domino
    The Everly Brothers
    Ray Charles
    Buddy Holly
    James Brown
    Sam Cooke

    I can't think off the top of my head of any other rock pioneers other than Dion and Brenda Lee, (Fabian and Pat Boone if you want to count them) associated with the 50s left. All Gone

    Bill Haley
    Bo Diddley
    Ricky Nelson
    Clyde McPhatter
    Frankie Lymon
    Carl Perkins
    Gene Vincent
    Jackie Wilson
