MEMBERS OF USA FOR AFRICA INDUCTED TWICE INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

01. 1988; 20?? - Diana Ross (The Supremes)

Diana Ross will be the last member of USA For Africa to get a second induction.

Roy
You always have creative and outstanding work on FRL. I was wondering if you think Lionel Richie will be a 2x Inductee or more like a Lionel Richie/The Commodores joint nomination. You had a good discussion a few years back about a George Michael nomination and induction. I remember you thought George Michael/WHAM! joint nomination might make more sense. Continue the great work! KING

The Commodores and Lionel Richie is not the same thing as Wham!/George Michael. Wham! was only two people, and George Michael did most of the work.

Lionel Richie will be inducted twice.

Posted by Roy on Friday, 12/10/2021 @ 18:02pm


The member of USA For Africa who is already in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and will definitely get a second induction is Diana Ross of The Supremes.

The only members of USA For Africa who are not in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, but have a serious shot at being inducted twice into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, are Lionel Richie (The Commodores), and Kenny Loggins (Loggins & Messina).

Kenny Rogers (The First Edition) and Jeffrey Osbourne (L.T.D.) will never be inducted.

It appears that Lionel Richie will beat Willie Nelson, Harry Belafonte, and Waylon Jennings into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and Dionne Warwick too, if she is not inducted in 2022 with Lionel Richie.

Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 02/2/2022 @ 08:40am


It appears Lionel Richie will get two inductions after all.

Posted by Roy on Wednesday, 02/2/2022 @ 12:20pm


So Lionel Richie and Harry Belafonte actually beat Dionne Warwick, Willie Nelson, and Waylon Jennings into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
