Lower than two weeks after she received a CMA Award for track of the 12 months for her traditional “Quick Automobile,” Tracy Chapman was nominated to hitch the 2024 class of inductees into the Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF). Twelve performing songwriters and 10 non-performing songwriters are nominated. Three songwriters from every of these classes shall be inducted on the 2024 SHOF Induction & Awards Gala in New York Metropolis in June 2024.
Hillary Lindsey, who was inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Corridor of Fame in 2022, is nominated right here, as is Dean Dillon, a 2002 inductee into the Nashville SHOF.
Seven of this 12 months’s SHOF nominees are within the Rock and Roll Corridor of Fame – George Clinton (Parliament/Funkadelic went into the Rock Corridor in 1997); Donald Fagen & Walter Becker (Steely Dan was honored by the Rock Corridor in 2001); Debbie Harry, Chris Stein & Clem Burke (Blondie bought the Rock Corridor nod in 2006); Invoice Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills & Michael Stipe (R.E.M. was honored by the Rock Corridor in 2007); Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson (Coronary heart was saluted by the Rock Corridor in 2013); Chuck D and Taste Flav (Public Enemy went into the Rock Corridor in 2013); and Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons & Michael McDonald (The Doobie Brothers bought the Rock Corridor nod in 2020).
Becker, who died in 2017, is that this 12 months’s solely posthumous nominee.
Kenny Loggins and Dean Pitchford, who collaborated on Loggins’ 1984 smash “Footloose,” a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, are individually nominated.
Fourteen songwriters are nominated as people. 5 two-member groups are nominated, as are two three-member groups and one four-member crew (the previous members of R.E.M.)
A songwriter with a notable catalog of songs qualifies for induction 20 years after the primary vital industrial launch of a track. Eligible voting members have till midnight ET on Dec. 27 to show in ballots, with their selections of three nominees from every class.
Right here’s the whole record of SHOF’s 2024 nominees. The SHOF equipped the 5 track titles which can be listed after every songwriter’s identify. The group stresses “Please be aware that the 5 songs listed after every nominee are merely a consultant pattern of their intensive catalogs.” In lots of instances right here, that’s an understatement.
