During the 1960s, Hampton's groups were in decline; he was still performing what had succeeded for him earlier in his career. He did not fare much better in the 1970s, though he recorded actively for his [[Who's Who in Jazz]] record label, which he founded in 1977/1978.<ref name="Swing: Third Ear" /><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pbs.org/jazz/biography/artist_id_hampton_lionel.htm |title=JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography – Lionel Hampton |website=Pbs.org |access-date=June 27, 2014}}</ref>

Beginning in February 1984, Hampton and his band played at the [[University of Idaho]]'s annual jazz festival, which was renamed the [[Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival]] the following year.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.uidaho.edu/class/jazzfest/about|title=Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival: About|website=University of Idaho|access-date=February 2, 2018}}</ref> In&nbsp;1987, the UI's [[Lionel Hampton School of Music|school of music]] was renamed for Hampton, the first university music school named for a jazz musician.<ref name=lmtlegcy>{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=lr9eAAAAIBAJ&sjid=TzEMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3068%2C1662682 |work=Lewiston Morning Tribune |location=(Idaho) |last=Frye |first=Heather |title=Remembering Hamp's legacy |date=September 6, 2002 |page=1D}}</ref><ref name=mpdnvibs >{{cite news |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=0KZCP5UExFUC&dat=20020902&printsec=frontpage&hl=en |work=Moscow-Pullman Daily News |location=(Idaho-Washington) |last=O'Neal |first=Shawn |title=The vibes fall silent |date=September 2, 2002 |page=1A}}</ref>

During much of the 1980s, some notable sidemen in Hampton's orchestra included [[Thomas Chapin]], [[Paul Jeffrey]], [[Frankie Dunlop]], [[Arvell Shaw]], [[John Colianni]], [[Oliver Jackson (musician)|Oliver Jackson]] and [[George Duvivier]]. Hampton remained active until a stroke in Paris in 1991 led to a collapse on stage. That incident, combined with years of chronic [[arthritis]], forced him to cut back drastically on performances. However, he did play at the [[Smithsonian National Museum of American History]] in 2001 shortly before his death.<ref name="Voce"/><ref name="Swing: Third Ear" /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-71251678.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20070623221445/http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-71251678.html|url-status=dead|title=Celebrated Jazz Artist Lionel Hampton Donates His Vibes|date=June 23, 2007|archive-date=June 23, 2007|website=Archive.is|access-date=February 7, 2019}}</ref> On April 15, 2002, the United States Congress celebrated Hampton's life and "resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That the Congress, on behalf of the American people, extends its birthday greetings and best wishes to Lionel Hampton on the occasion of his 94th birthday."<ref>{{cite web |title=S.
