The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the
Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on March 12, 2007 will also honor Ahmet Ertegun,
legendary founder of Atlantic Records. There will be a special
performance by surprise artist. Ertegun, who was a crucial figure in
the careers of artists ranging from Ray Charles to Aretha Franklin to
the Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin, was instrumental in founding and
was the Chairman of the Foundation. The Rock Hall Museum in
Cleveland's main exhibit hall is the Ahmet Ertegun Exhibition Hall.
The 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Grandmaster Flash and
the Furious Five, R.E.M., The Ronettes, Patti Smith and Van Halen were
chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
25 years after their first recording is released.
In addition to being honored at the ceremony on March 12, 2007, each
artist who is inducted is commemorated within the I.M. Pei-designed
museum in Cleveland, Ohio. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame displays the
signature of each inductee inscribed in glass. In addition, there is
an exhibit of artifacts from this year's inductees, and a multi-media
film presentation with highlights from each artist's career. The
exhibit on this year's inductees will open in March, 2007 and will run
for one year.
