This one hits extra different as I hope it opens doors for other female emcees to be recognized!
For her part, pop singer Cyndi Lauper thanked her fans on anInstagram post.
If selected, he would join other country music inductees, such as Johnny Cash and Chet Atkins.
However, fans can also be part of the selection by selecting their fan favorite.
Through April 28, 2023, they can vote for their favorites atvote.rockhall.com.
The inductees will be announced in May and the induction ceremony will take place in October.
