8 comments so far (post your own)In my opinion, Donny Hathaway would be a perfect choice for an induction in the Musical Excellence Award category (basically where they put people who deserve to be in the hall, but will probably never win a popular vote, like Leon Russell and Ringo Starr...and probably in the next few years Gram Parsons). It would be particularly great if they picked him on a year when Roberta Flack is finally inducted, obviously they couldnt perform together, but the sentiment would be appropriate.

It'd be hard for me to support inducting him as a Performer. As a decidedly lighter artist, he wouldn't be my first choice in that arena, but also, most of the songs he's best remembered for were duets. I feel like that will hurt his chances. Posted by Philip on Sunday, 09/13/2015 @ 19:14pm |

This man has been eligible since 1996 to be inducted and for some bigoted reason you overlook him after everything he has contributed to the music world. Songwriter,Composer,Producer people are stile covering his music today. Posted by Diane Johnson5 on Thursday, 05/13/2021 @ 01:13am |
The only reason, the obvious reason, and the true reason is racism. Posted by JC on Sunday, 10/31/2021 @ 19:33pm |
How has this man not been inducted into the R&RHOF... Posted by Ron Green on Wednesday, 02/2/2022 @ 19:41pm |
Really unbelievable he hasn't been inducted. What a gifted artist he was. I love you Donny. Posted by Anne on Sunday, 04/10/2022 @ 12:02pm |
Donny had an outstanding voice. Did he do a lot of duets? Sure. Anyone questioning him just listen to a song for you and that should put any concerns to rest. He deserves a spot. Posted by FD on Sunday, 01/8/2023 @ 22:36pm |
