A very successful Singer/Songwriter throughout the 70’s, Jackson Browne combined angst and sensitivity to become a beloved musical star.  His political singing has also kept him relevant and in the public eye.

A superstar Singer/Songwriter of the 1970’s, James Taylor was easily among the elite of his genre.  Taylor was able to have the dual threat of being commercially successful and critically loved; not easy on the Singer/Songwriter field.

The “Hardest Working Man in Show Business” is a certified legend and a man who defined influence.  Soul, Funk and Rap stars revered him and to this day there is no artist more sampled than “The Godfather of Soul”.  A case could be made that Brown was the most important figure in music.

A legendary guitarist who has been called one of the most influential guitarists of all time, Jeff Beck was a great Rock and Roll improviser who drew from far more than traditional Rock influences.  Despite Beck’s prowess, his solo induction was a touch of a surprise as his solo catalogue was not necessarily the most acclaimed, and he was already in with the Yardbirds.
