This is fantastic! I am so happy!
Thank you so much to the Hall!
It's worth noting too that Sly & The Family Stone's "Thank You" is also being inducted.
Ah, all these greats 😌

It didn't win any Grammys in 1988 and now they're inducting it into the Grammy Hall of Fame? lol Hindsight is 20/20 I guess. shrug
