The Dells dominated the R&B charts and were among the most successful Doo Wop bands ever.  The Dells were not just a Doo Wop band as they incorporated Jazz, Soul and Disco into their long lasting career.  The Dells were inducted in 2004, though their impact in the 50’s alone should have garnered their induction sooner than that.

Though time has trouble categorizing him, Dion was a successful artist who blended Doo Wop, R&B and Rock to create a successful blend of Pop that gained him chart success.  Though his later career was not riddled with commercial success, his abilities were evident and his talent was undeniable.

Possibly the best “chameleon” in Rock history and potentially the most influential solo superstar ever there can be no doubt that David Bowie’s career is with its own Hall of Fame building adjacent to the main one in Cleveland.

Considered the link between 50’s R&B and 60’s Soul, there may be no other group that had a more beautiful sound than the Drifters.  They may not have written their own material, but these were the dream voices to write for.
