“It’s hard for me to find something to say,” Lewis said at the Hall of Fame. “But I’m here, I love you, I couldn’t have done it without you.”
Non-Performer inductee Joe Galante is a Queens native who, in 1974 relocated to Nashville to work for RCA and changed the course of the business in his time here. Among his signings during his long tenure were Alabama, Clint Black, Kenny Chesney, the Judds, Martina McBride, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Whitley. After leaving the music business, he devoted himself to mentoring young businesspeople and philanthropy.
“I didn’t know what to say, which was very unusual,” he said. “This is an unmatched honor and I think it’s a tribute to all those people who helped me get here.” The Modern Era performer Keith Whitley didn’t live to see the day of his induction, and in fact had a remarkably short run on the country charts — Brooks & Dunn marked it at four years, seven months, and 10 days. But that brief span before Whitley’s 1989 death resulted in some of the most indelible songs of the era, including the consecutive Number Ones “Don’t Close Your Eyes,” “When You Say Nothing at All,” and “I’m No Stranger to the Rain.
The new class of inductees will be formally honored at the Country Music Hall of Fame’s Medallion Ceremony, which will be held in fall.
They better let KidRock give Keith's induction speech '...just like some old Keith Whitley song'

Why your favorite band doesn’t belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of FameThere isn’t an exact science to determine who is worthy of induction into the Rock Hall. It isn’t like sports, where statistics can be compared across generations. Music is much more multifaceted. I couldn’t possibly care less about a band I like being in some stupid hall of fame. And neither do they. What an absolute crock! Rick and Roll is a thing, an actual thing. Rap artists, pop artists aren't Rock and Roll, it's that simple!
