With the Night Tripper now gone, there are only nine living inductees left from the class of 2011, including Alice Cooper. The Doc’s passing could be a big blow for all the Jazz and R&B snubs. I’ve had always wanted him to be an inductor for the Meters if they were able to make it at some point, but it’s now too late. RIP.

Just discovered he's died. He was a wonderful asset to the music of New Orleans!

A good musician but not a hall of famer. Sold very few records. Seems like the trend of naming good but not great payers to the baseball hall of fame has also infected the rock HOF
