Grammy Hall of Fame Names New Inductees

Some new additions to the Grammy Hall of Fame have been announced, and some veteran  singers such as the late Whitney Houston, Billy Joel and Elton John are among those whose songs are inducted into the coveted list. A Paul McCartney and Wings  album has become the former Beatle’s first entry into the Grammy Hall of Fame
joining both the Beatles and John Lennon in the honor. The Paul McCartney and Wings album “Band on the Run” was among the 27 new inductees for 2013. Although the Beatles and John Lennon have been honored in past years, the album is McCartney’s first for the Grammy Hall of Fame, which acknowledges both singles and album recordings at least 25 years old that exhibit “qualitative or historical significance.” Also inducted this year was Buck Owens’ “Act Naturally,” which was covered by the Beatles and sung by Ringo Starr. Starr later recorded a duet version with Owens.
