The hall of fame has become a joke anyway..the omission of these guys, Jim Croce, Warren Zevon, Gram Parsons, Nick Drake, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy, Felice amd Boudleaux Bryant...its become more about pop and rap artists...its merit long ago lost

Everyone should really know who these two are. It goes to show how much power JW has. They wrote and produced albums for 2/4 Beatles, Eric Clapton, not to mention their "and Friends," group being the largest supergroup in history. Facts.

Please reconsider Delaney and Bonnie for the RRHF.
They are the quintesential artists of the late 60's and early 70's.

Delaney & Bonnie Bramlett should be shortlisted for the musical influence category. Not only did Eric Clapton get up to his usual tricks of "I'll wait to credit them until they're dead" for several albums and tracks, with Delaney, but Bonnie's vocals influenced almost every rock/blues singer in the 70s and 80s. I'm not even a fan of Delaney Bramlett's, but he deserves his due, and as time passes, the pair is being more forgotten. I saw that The Dominos are now being discussed as a backup group induction. I made two videos for YouTube, each receiving hundreds of thousands of views. I truly hope they contributed to this. I was championing Bobby Whitlock even when they asked me to stop. But just as they deserve it, Delaney and Bonnie do. They could fix this entire problem by inducting the core members of Delaney & Bonnie & Friends. There was a limited number. It doesn't have to include the fifty on their Wiki page. But yes, the Dominos are among them. Thank you.
