"Get a Job" is where Sha Na Na got their name.

Anyway, their best shot is in the Singles category, if they bring that back.

Im the daughter of William Franklin Hoton. Aka Bill Horton. Lead singer of The Original Silhouettes. I was surprised to that my Dad is not in your museum since the Silhouettes was pioneers for Doo wop and Rock n Roll, and rhythm n blues.
Their song' Get A Job' is still
Played in movies and tv commercials more than other singers. My dad also was one of the founders of the Doo Wop Hall of Fame.
I have done extensive research on his career and it exceeds those who are in your museum now.
My communication with you is only to point out that many facts about his career has been overlooked
Im now 76 years old with grand children. I would love to see his legacy live on in The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame
Sincerely Yours
Kay Munson
