It is a crime that Rita Coolidge has not been elected to the Rock Hall of Fame. Not only is she a great rock artist but she made the very tough transition from back up singer to solo star. She was part of the fabric of the development of rock in its very formative years. Whoever the arrogant people are who are keeping her out, they need to revisit that decision now. If Darlene Love deserves it (and she does) then so does Ms. Coolidge.

Could be inducted either as a Perfomer or the A.M.E.

Most likely musical excellence.

I have a Muppet Show that featured Rita Coolidge and she starred with Kris Kristofferson and they were married then.
