AI: Longest-Running Band in the World

To determine which band has been going the longest, we need to look at the formation dates of various bands that are still active today. The information provided indicates that several bands have had long and storied careers, but one stands out as the oldest.

1. The Blind Boys of Alabama: This gospel group was formed in 1939 and is recognized for its longevity in the music industry. Although many original members have passed away, Jimmy Carter, one of the founding members, continues to perform with the group. Their history spans over eight decades, making them a significant part of American music history.

2. The Oak Ridge Boys: Established in 1947, this country quartet has maintained a consistent presence in music since their inception. They are known for their harmonious vocals and have had a successful career spanning several decades.

3. The Dells: Formed in 1945, The Dells were known for their smooth vocal harmonies and remained active until recent years. They had a remarkable run with only minor personnel changes throughout their history.

4. Four Tops: This Motown group was formed in 1953 and is notable for having maintained the same lineup for an impressive 44 years before losing some original members.

After analyzing these groups based on their formation dates and current activity status, it becomes clear that The Blind Boys of Alabama, formed in 1939, holds the title for being the longest-running band still performing today.

Thus, the answer is:

The Blind Boys of Alabama
