Sweet Sue and the Society Syncopators
From the brilliant and classic film, Some Like it Hot, we have Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) as the lead singer of the all-female band, Sweet Sue and the Society Syncopators. The film is set in 1929, and also stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as two unemployed musicians who are escaping Chicago after witnessing the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. To do so, they go in drag and join Sweet Sue’s band and as predicted fall for Monroe. This is considered to me a comedic gem, but is a musical one?

Why you should vote for them:
This film is the definition of a classic.
Why you should not vote for them:
Somehow, a 1920’s band doesn’t seem to fit for this Hall of Fame.
