He should be inducted as an early influence.

Sure. The same year they induct Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.

Like them, he doesn't count as an Early Influencer just because he's early.

He received the Kennedy Center Honors in 1987

Very talented man, good friends with Carol O'Connor… also he's an influence in soul, and one of the greatest oldies pop stars of the 50's and 60's…

I'd say Yes…
