8 comments so far (post your own)The Hall of Fame waited too long. Jimmy is gone as well as Janet and Lester. This is a travesty as they were the "voice" of the 1950's and 60's. Not a one hit wonder. Posted by Steven on Friday, 03/6/2020 @ 19:17pm |
The sky liners were the best.awesome voices.they definitely belong in the r&r hall of fame.what are you waiting for? Posted by Rhausmann on Monday, 05/18/2020 @ 20:55pm |
The Skyliners should definitely be in the rock hall. Great harmonization! A number of charted hits. Introduction of orchestration before Phil Spector and Berry Gordy did it and those are some of the qualities that got them in. In addition, most of their work was written by them. They sang their own creations rather than singing someone else's creations. Posted by Dave on Monday, 06/29/2020 @ 10:32am |
The 13 perfect "you's" at the end of Since I Don't have you should alone be enough!!! Posted by Stuart on Monday, 04/5/2021 @ 14:39pm |
I really can't understand why there are negative comments about the Skyliners, they were an awesome group, with beautiful voices and songs. To read that they've never been considered for the HOF tells me that someone there has a personal beef. That there is a difference between the fans and the administrators can certainly be shown by the acts that have been eligible for years and possibly may never get in, and many that are in, that perhaps shouldn't be, or at least should have come later. Mary Wells just to cite one. Lionel Ritchie is another!! Posted by Luis on Saturday, 05/22/2021 @ 10:43am |
How can they not be in this was one of the greatest groups of the doowop era . The music today is junk and none of these artists belong in the hof. I will take the Skyliners over any of these groups that are out there now. Do any of the people who picks candidates for the hof know what good music is. Have they even heard the Skyliners Posted by Gary Rockwell on Thursday, 02/3/2022 @ 07:54am |
The Skyliners certainly deserve to be in the Rock n Roll of Fame but there's a lead singer from the same era, Johnny Maestro of the Crests and the Brooklyn Bridge! He had an absolutely beautiful voice and the amazing talent to sing any song he was asked to sing. He is long overdue to be recognized for his contribution to Rock n Roll. When will he be given the honor of being inducted into the Rock n Roll of Fame. Johnny deserves the recognition along with the other inductees for way too long! Thank you.

The Skyliners not in the RRHF is a disgrace and like most record companies it's not who you know Posted by Mark Vranesevich on Tuesday, 07/19/2022 @ 20:11pm |
