When you consider his impact with the use of the Hammond B3 which went on to be used by notables like Steve Winwood, Billy Preston, etc etc. it seems to he is clearly a candidate for Early Influence

Why is this man NOT in the HOF? I was there the night Lloyd Price appeared on stage and was celebrated for his induction. That night Jimmy Smith was assisted to his B3 organ and played masterfully. I thought it was his induction ceremony too. It's too bad, because he belongs in there.
