The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced their official list of nominees for induction into the class of 2019. Janet Jackson and Rufus featuring Chaka Khan will represent for R&B/soul artists.
Jackson, who is one of the most successful pop/R&B acts of all-time, has received two prior HOF recommendations in 2016 and 2017. Rufus featuring Chaka Khan are up for their second nod. Khan received a solo nomination for the class of 2016; yet didn’t she get inducted.
According to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame standards, an artist or band is eligible for initiation 25 years after their first commercial recording.
More than 1,000 voting members, comprised of artists, historians and music industry influencers, will cast their ballots before the inductees reveal in December.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame 2019 ceremony, presented by Klipsch Audio, will take place on March 29, 2019 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
