Why is this man NOT in the HOF? I was there the night Lloyd Price appeared on stage and was celebrated for his induction. That night Jimmy Smith was assisted to his B3 organ and played masterfully. I thought it was his induction ceremony too. It's too bad, because he belongs in there. Posted by Robert McMullen on Sunday, 04/24/2022 @ 09:05am |
