Was Billy Ward ever a member of the Dominoes, or just Billy Ward and the Dominoes? Why were they only nominated as the Dominoes to begin with?

Wait a minute, why is the eligibility year for Billy Ward & The Dominoes earlier than the Dominoes? This is wrong!

That's weird. They are one and the same group. That would be like listing THE MIRACLES and SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES. or THE FOUR SEASONS and FRANKIE VALLI & THE FOUR SEASONS.

My father Billy Ward and His Domino's surly should be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame . I feel it has been a sad oversite . My father created the group The Dominos and was a member of this band .He was the driving force of the band and launch the careers ofJackie Wilson and Clyde McPhatter when they were in his group that should be reason enough with the impact they had on music in the 50s this is long overdue

This would make Clyde McPhatter a 3-time inductee.
