Well, let's see, I'll try and answer your questions...The Stones never went away and kept making shitloads of money for the past 38 years. The Beatles broke up a year later and half of them are now dead. Simon and Garfunkel broke up a few years later, but enjoy the odd reunion or not. CCR split up in 1972, but Fogerty keeps enjoying successful comebacks and his old rhythm section tries to carry on without him (don't ask). Dylan never went away and still goes through periods of being hailed a genius followed by periods where he is derided for sounding like Froggy from the Little Rascals. Hendrix died a couple years later and it was pretty nasty, but people still listen to him. Otis is still dead, but hang in there if you're expecting something. The Doors still sorta continue even though Morrison died around the same time as Hendrix and it was pretty nasty, too. Stevie is still blind and lost most of his talent years ago, but you missed some great music in the seventies. Motown is as dead as the US auto industry, probably some weird correlation there. Janis died along with Jimi and Jim, pretty messy too, but then she always was. Lots of stuff happened in music between 1969 and 2007. As for Fergie, I think her prime was around the time she married Prince Andrew, but I still sorta fancy her.
