@caloscalante1518 Pete Seeger beats that—69 years, from 1940 to the present day. And there's Little Jimmy Dickens—late 1930s to the present.

Actually he first recorded in 1930 and his first recording session produced a number 16 hit, his version of "St. Louis Blues". The same year he filled in for Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club, before later taking over as house band! He actually had two more substantial hits after that, before recording the original version of his huge, career defining smash "Minnie the Moocher" in march of 1931! But yeah, his is the longest career I can think!
