When I was 13 I knew about those artists as well but that was because of my father. He exposed me to the oldies at an early age but most children are not afforded the same opportunity. Unless children have parents or some type of caregiver figure that exposes them to music before their time they are not going to be knowledgeable. I never said that it was impossible but it is unlikely they would be exposed to music before their time.

Typically children are just aware of artists from their generation, current pop trends and easy accessible music.
