*******DON CORNELIUS*******

DON CORNELIUS should be inducted. He did more to bring soul music (and the artists who made it) to the masses than ANY single person in the last 40 years. Ditto to spreading Black Culture and Dance. He highlighted artists that American Bandstand would not touch. And , even in death, he's STILL influencing American Culture, because Soul Train reruns are still airing all over the world. And he highlighted White artists too. Gino Vannelli made his first American Television appearance on Soul Train. Elton John was on too. Tower of Power, The Average White Band, Dennis Coffey,Frankie Valli,Herb Alpert,The Manhattan Transfer, and Shena Easton all made appearances on Soul Train. Yes to Don. (R.I.P.)
