NEW YORK (AP) - Run-DMC once hailed themselves as the Kings of
Rock, so it's fitting that the pioneering rappers have been
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Run-DMC joins the heavy metal band Metallica, guitarist Jeff
Beck, soul singer Bobby Womack and doo-wop group Little Anthony and
the Imperials as this year's inductee class.
Rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson gets a nod for the early
influence category, and the sidemen inductees are session musician
Spooner Oldham and two of Elvis Presley's musicians - drummer D.J.
Fontana and bassist Bill Black.
The induction ceremony will be held in Cleveland - where the
Rock Hall is based - on April 4.
