American singer-songwriter Dolly Parton has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame even though she did not want the honour and said she considered herself unworthy of it
Parton requested that her name be withdrawn from consideration because she didn't"earn that right," but eventually relented.
Parton, 76 and known for such hits as "Islands in the Stream" and "Jolene" asked last month that her name be withdrawn from consideration. When the hall of fame rejected her rejection, in part because voting was already under way, Parton eventually relented."With her trailblazing songwriting career, distinctive voice, campy glamour, business savvy and humanitarian work, Dolly Parton is a beloved icon who transcends the genre she transformed forever," the organisation said on its website as it announced the new members.
She said that it was always her belief that the Cleveland-based organisation was for people in rock and roll.
