Run-DMC, Metallica and Jeff Beck Head Up Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductees

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be inducting an eclectic class in 2009 with a blend of rap/hip hop, heavy metal, blues rock, doo-wop and soul each finding their way into the Cleveland institution.

Heading up the list this year will be Run-DMC, the rap trio that brought the world or hip hop and rock together with their “Walk This Way” collaboration with Aerosmith. Considered by many to be the most influential rap group of all time Run-DMC put rap music in the main stream media.

Joseph “Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniels will be in attendance for the April 4 induction but have already said they would not be performing. They have not performed as a group since Jam Master Jay was murdered in his recording studio in 2002.

Metallica will also be heading into the Hall after more than a quarter of a century dominating the heavy metal scene. One of the most successful and recognizable bands in the world, Metallica has won seven Grammy Awards, three Billboard Music Awards and a pair of American Music awards while selling more than 60 million albums in the U.S. alone.

Jeff Beck, considered one of the greatest guitar players of all time, blended rock, blues, jazz and heavy metal to rank #14 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of finest axmen. He has collected four Grammy Awards and continues to be a major influence in several genres of music.

Bobby Womack made his way into the Hall for his work as a soul singer and songwriter. He penned #1 hits for the Rolling Stones and New Birth and enjoyed plenty of success penning his own songs.

Little Anthony and the Imperials will also be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4 for their doo-wop sound.
