Willie Nelson, Hank Williams, Bob Wills titles enter Grammy Hall of Fame


Published by Peter Cooper on December 7, 2010



Willie Nelson's "On The Road Again," Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues" and Bob Wills' recording of
"Steel Guitar Rag" are among The Recording Academy's 2011 Grammy Hall of Fame inductees.

Created in 1973, the Grammy Hall of Fame honors recordings the Academy deems to be "of lasting
qualitative or historical significance" and that are at least 25 years old. The recordings are reviewed
by a committee of music professionals and final approval comes from Academy trustees. The 30 new
titles brings the list of Hall of Fame songs to 881.

The Williams, Nelson and Wills titles are part of a 2011 class that includes the Beatles' "Penny Lane,"
the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There" and Prince & The Revolution's "Purple Rain."
