….And through the BACK DOOR no less!!
If ANYTHING, Like Curtis Mayfield, and Clyde Mc PHATTER, SMOKEY should've been inducted TWICE…FIRST as a member of The
MIRACLES… and then a SECOND time…as a SOLO ARTIST, SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, and RECORD EXECUTIVE.

THE MIRACLES
MY APOLOGIES. I intended to copy the COMPLETE INTRO to the "COVER VERSIONS" SECTION OF
"THE MIRACLES' Wikipedia article…but I missed part of it.
Here is the COMPLETE INTRO, Caps mine:

"This is a list of covers of Miracles songs that have been recorded and released. According to several websites, the Miracles are one of THE MOST-COVERED GROUPS IN RECORDED HISTORY, and the most covered Motown group EVER."

With that kind of INFLUENCE, it was LUDICROUS that some NO NOTHINGS decided to SNUB Motown's First and MOST IMPORTANT GROUP…in a CALLOUS effort to INDUCT SMOKEY ALONE…and THROW THE OTHER MEMBERS AWAY , wait 25 YEARS,, and finally induct BOBBY, RONNIE, PETE, CLAUDETTE, and MARV after several.members had DIED.

power

Again, I like Deep Purple. But I think their influence isn't as big as Zeppelin, Sabbath, Maiden, Motörhead, or even Metallica for that matter.
