Dolly Parton is joining the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame whether she wants to or not. Here's the full list of 2022 inductees, announced today.
By Mikael Wood, Los Angeles Times Dolly Parton is joining the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame whether she wants to or not.
Now all eyes will be waiting to see whether Parton shows up to the Rock Hall's 37th annual induction ceremony, set to take place Nov. 5 at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Said John Sykes, the organization's chairman:"This diverse group of inductees each had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture and helped change the course of rock and roll. Their music moved generations and influenced so many artists that followed."
Acts become eligible for consideration 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording. For Eminem, the Oscar-winning rapper as responsible as any for centering hip-hop in the pop mainstream, that means he's being inducted in his first year of eligibility; Parton, Richie, Simon and Duran Duran also were on the ballot for the first time, while Benatar and Eurythmics had been nominated previously without being voted in.
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, the innovative production duo behind hits by Janet Jackson, New Edition, George Michael and Usher, also will receive the Musical Excellence Award. The Early Influence Award will be given to 95-year-old Harry Belafonte and the late Elizabeth Cotten.
