Well, while I do know this guy had talent in him and he sang one of the greatest love songs of all-time, I still question why he's in the RRHOF. In fact, he's in my 'bottom 3' as the least important that's in the HOF. On the bright side, he did live to see his induction. That's something a lot of acts these days probably won't say in the future. R.I.P.

Well, at least now he won't have to listen or read anyone calling him the worst inductee. I still say he's more deserving than Madonna, but whatever. RIP Percy

Percy being inducted was one of the worst things to ever happen in the Rock Hall by far.

When a Man Loves a Woman is a great song but no.
