The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s class of 2023 includes Sheryl Crow, Missy Elliott, the late George Michael and Willie Nelson, who — at 90 — will become the hall’s oldest still-actively performing honoree in memory. Each appeared on the ballot this year for the first time.

The other 2023 inductees announced Wednesday morning include English singer-songwriter Kate Bush, Los Angeles rap-metal provocateurs Rage Against the Machine and the suave Michigan R&B vocal group The Spinners.

All three are repeat nominees. Rage was previously on the ballot in 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022, while Bush was on the ballot this year for the fourth time since 2018. The Spinners, first nominated in 2012, were also on the ballot for the fourth time. Henry Fambrough, 79, who still tours with The Spinners, is the group’s only surviving member.

The 2023 nominees who failed to garner enough votes for induction include The White Stripes, Iron Maiden, Cyndi Lauper, Joy Division/New Order, A Tribe Called Quest, the late Warren Zevon and the Seattle band Soundgarden. Matt Cameron, the San Diego-born drummer in Soundgarden, was inducted in 2017 as a member of Pearl Jam.

“This year’s incredible group of inductees reflects the diverse artists and sounds that define rock and roll,” Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Chairman John Sykes said in a statement released Wednesday.

“We are honored that this November’s induction ceremony in New York will coincide with two milestones in music culture: the 90th birthday of Willie Nelson and the 50th Anniversary of the birth of hip-hop.”

The 38th Annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held Nov. 3 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. The only hip-hop artist on the ballot this year besides Elliott, repeat nominee A Tribe Called Quest, did not gain enough votes for induction.

But that does not mean the inductions will skip the genre entirely.

Hip-hop pioneer DJ Kool Herc, who got his start in 1973 but has never appeared on the ballot as a nominee, will receive the Musical Influence Award.

Herc, who was born Clive Campbell and grew up near Brooklyn in the Bronx, is now 68. He will become only the 10th hip-hop artist to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame — and the first DJ to be so honored as a solo performer, not as a member of a group.

This year’s other Music Influence honoree is guitarist Link Wray, who pioneered the use of feedback in rock and died in 2005 at the age of 76.

Wray was nominated twice, both times posthumously, but did not receive sufficient votes for induction. He will become one the very few native Americans to be honored by the hall. Wray was a key inspiration for the acclaimed 2017 film documentary “Rumble: The Indians Who Rocked the World,” which was spearheaded by Oceanside-bred guitar star Stevie Salas.

Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first recording and are honored for their “originality, impact and influence.” Ballots are cast by more than 1,000 voting members. Their ranks include previous inductees and an array of music industry professionals, including this writer.

The Music Influence Award recipients are chosen by one of the hall’s in-house committees. So are the Musical Excellence Award honorees, which this year includes veteran vocal dynamo Chaka Khan, longtime Elton John lyricist Bernie Taupin and Al Kooper.

Khan, 70, has been nominated seven times previously — four times as a solo artist and three times with her former band, Rufus — but did not earn enough votes for induction. Taupin, 72, and Kooper, 79, have never been on the ballot.

Kooper founded the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, played organ on Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone” and produced the debut albums by Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Tubes and others.

This year’s final honoree is “Soul Train” TV show co-founder Don Cornelius, who was 75 when he died in 2012. He will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award.

Ertegun, who died in 2006 at the age of 83, was the co-founder of Atlantic Records and a driving force behind the creation of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The award in his name goes to non-performers who have had a major impact on “music and youth culture.”

Tickets for this year’s induction ceremony will go on sale later this year. Select Rock Hall donors and members will have exclusive advance induction ticket-buying opportunities, if they donate or join by June 30. More information is available at: rockhall.com/membership.
