New York, New York, November 20, 2003 -The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation is proud to announce the 2004 Inductees in the “Performer” category. The announcement was made today by Suzan Evans, Executive Director of the Foundation. The following artists will be inducted at the Nineteenth Annual Induction Ceremony, which will be held Monday, March 15th in New York at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel: Prince – Self-produced since his debut at age 20, Prince is one of the most unpredictable as well as one of the most magnificently charismatic figures in the entire pop landscape. His fusion of rock, funk, soul, metal and punk has defied all stereotypes. Also: Jackson Browne, The Della, George Harrison, Bob Seger, Traffic, ZZ Top In commenting on this year’s inductees, Evans said, “These inductees represent many influential genres of rock and roll, including pop, funk, soul, boogie and psychedelia. We expect this year’s show to be unique and exciting with highly anticipated moments.” Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria considered includes the influence and significance of the artist's contribution to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll. The Foundation's nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects nominees each year in the "artist" category. Ballots are then sent to an international voting body of about 700 rock experts. The honoree in the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Non-Performer Category will be announced shortly. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was formed in 1983 and the first induction ceremony was held in 1986. All inductees are represented in the "Hall of Fame", a permanent exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum, in Cleveland Ohio. [Nice to see Bob Seger also get in. Thanks to everyone who sent in this news!!! -Ben] | |

Imagine that; inducted in the Hall of Fame... I bet he never thought he'd be there, way back then when he started out. Maybe this is the beginning of the recognition that he trully deserves.It is so overdue. Congratulations! -"If U don't like,

Glad he made it in! At least there's a little bit of justice from these guys (I still think its a crime that Black Sabbath hasn't made it in yet).
