Shy and fighting back tears as she accepted induction,
Smith recalled friends and family who didn't live to
see the day. Shortly before he died, Smith's husband
Fred "Sonic" Smith asked her when she did make the
hall of fame to "please accept it like a lady and not
to say any curse words."
The bohemian poet straddled the hippie and punk eras,
with her album "Horses" setting a standard for
literate rock. She performed her biggest hit, "Because
the Night," co-written with Bruce Springsteen, and the
Rolling Stones' classic "Gimme Shelter."
Smith's mother also didn't live to see her daughter
make the hall of fame, but passed on some
instructions.
"I'm not going to make it," she recalled her mother
saying. "When you do, sing your mother's favorite
song, the one I like to vaccuum to."
Saying "this is for you, mom," Smith performed her
1977 song "Rock 'n' Roll N-----."
