Eddie Floyd has surpassed a Legend, today he is an icon. His career start when he was only sixteen and he continues today recording and making music at the age of 85. That's over 60 years in the music business. Others bestowed the honor upon him, not just for his work as a singer/songwriter in R&B; it was an accumulation of influence in all forms of music! From Blue, Soul, Rhythm & Blues, Country, Rock, etc.
The evidence of that is the re-recording of Knock On Wood alone. It has been covered hundreds of times by different artists from Count Basie, Buddy Guy, and Ella Fitzgerald to Toots & the Maytals and Floyd has Jamaican roots and David Bowie. It has been the cover song to almost every bang in the world whether in a club or a garage. On many competition shows like The Voice and American Idol. Floyd's talent has been overlooked long enough. Give him his flowers, he deserves the honor. Also, many people he wrote with and for have been inducted why not the influencer of the music?
