5 comments so far (post your own)Not that I care that much about the Hall(the voting political side of it) I do think it would be nice for his family and friends and would make more people aware of this genius who could blow people away with his songwriting and his singing and playing.

While I doubt Elliott would care if he were inducted into the HOF, his talent and abilities require that he is inducted. One of the rare talents in music who could evoke feelings through his lyrics, singing and music. Posted by Big B on Thursday, 05/16/2019 @ 13:27pm |
Elliott is THE most well rounded songwriter who ever lived. Posted by Dustin Vincent Mulligan on Friday, 11/27/2020 @ 17:15pm |
The comment above is really well put. I couldn't agree more, and would add that he was a gifted poet, and his songs made many interesting references and observations on the human condition. Posted by Iris E on Saturday, 11/20/2021 @ 20:40pm |
Smith's music takes me out of myself—I don't even drive when I listen—it's like having the man sitting across from me singing and playing acoustic guitar. His voice is soft and personal, which evokes a rainbow of feelings inside me. I feel I am in the presence of greatness Posted by Suzette Burr on Thursday, 08/11/2022 @ 22:01pm |
