This is a totally subjective list of entertainers whose contributions to 
popular music or persona still resonate today (and some whose don't), 
years after their death or retirement from the business:

Al Jolson

Bing Crosby

Fats Waller

George Formby

Glenn Miller

George Gershwin

Nat “King” Cole

Two who are still around:

Doris Day

Vera Lynn

Some who don’t quite seem to make it:

Frank Sinatra

Louis Armstrong (kids think he was the first man on the Moon!)

Duke Ellington

Al Bowlly

Hoagy Carmichael

Johnny Mercer

Ella Fitzgerald

The Beatles
Elvis

This is not intended as a value judgment on their work.
