Dolly Parton Among Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

Judas Priest and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis will receive this year’s Musical Excellence Award, while Harry Belafonte and Elizabeth Cotton will be honored with the Early Influence Award. Allen Grubman, Jimmy Iovine and Sylvia Robinson are the recipients of the Ahmet Ertegun Award. “This diverse group of inductees each had a profound impact on the sound of youth culture and helped change the course of rock & roll,” John Sykes, chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame said in a statement.

And just last week, the"9 to 5" singer changed her sentiments and shared that if inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she would accept “gracefully.” “Well, I’ll accept gracefully. I will just say thanks and I will accept it because the fans vote, but when I said that, it was always my belief that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was for the people in rock music," Parton said during an appearance onThe 35th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony will take place Nov. 5 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The ceremony will air at a later date on HBO and stream on HBO Max.

Duran Duran was thrilled about their induction. “Here in the wild, beautiful world of Duran Duran, I think we're all in a little bit of a daze about this. It's one thing to be nominated - but a totally different thing altogether to be actually voted up for induction into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which is to my mind the closest thing you'll ever get to a rock & roll knighthood," the band's frontman Simon Le Bon told ET in a statement.

Bassit John Taylor added,"It’s quite an honor for Duran Duran to be elected into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and not one we ever expected. We have never thought of ourselves as a Rock n’ Roll band, more of an 'ongoing Art Project', however, I feel a profound sense of gratitude for the acknowledgement this award represents.
