KENNY LOGGINS SHOULD BE INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!


The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is on the shore of Lake Erie in Cleveland, Ohio, but the Foundation and its nominating committee are in New York City.

From the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame web site:

"Leaders in the music industry joined together in 1983 to establish the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. One of the Foundation’s many functions is to recognize the contributions of those who have had a significant impact on the evolution, development and perpetuation of rock and roll by inducting them into the Hall of Fame.

Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist’s contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll.

The Foundation’s nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects nominees each year in the Performer category. Ballots are then sent to an international voting body of more than 500 rock experts. Those performers who receive the highest number of votes - and more than 50 percent of the vote - are inducted. The Foundation generally inducts five to seven performers each year.

In an attempt to get Kenny Loggins the induction he so richly deserves, we are asking that you bring his achievements to the attention of the Nominating Committee. Please write a letter to them, outlining his contributions to rock and roll and encourage them to nominate him. The Foundation has no email address, so this will have to be done by postal mail.

The address for the Foundation:

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation
1290 Avenue of the Americas
