RIP to Jerry Allison. Now Sonny Curtis is the sole surviving member of the inducted Crickets lineup.

"There's also been plenty of particular band members that have been excluded from induction (i.e. Zola Taylor from the Platters)" - Steve Z

Wait a second, I could have sworn that Zola Taylor IS inducted with the Platters.

I assume that he wasn't ever a member of the Crickets, but Rest in Peace Sonny West, the writer of "Oh Boy" and "Rave On,' 1937-2022.
