Run-DMC, Metallica, Jeff Beck Inducted Into Hall Of Fame
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 14, 2009
Run-DMC once hailed themselves as the Kings of Rock, so it's fitting that the pioneering rappers have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Run-DMC joins the heavy metal band Metallica, guitarist Jeff Beck, soul singer Bobby Womack and doo-wop group Little Anthony and the Imperials as this year's inductee class.
Rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson gets a nod for the early influence category, and the sidemen inductees are session musician Spooner Oldham and two of Elvis Presley's musicians — drummer D.J. Fontana and bassist Bill Black.
The induction ceremony will be held in Cleveland — where the Rock Hall is based — on April 4.
