Other songwriters being inducted include The Isley Brothers and their longtime collaborator Chris Jasper, Rick Nowels, and William “Mickey” Stevenson. “I am very proud that we are recognizing some of the culturally most important songwriters of all time,” chairman Nile Rodgers said of this year’s class, “and that the 2020 slate of inductees represents diversity and unity across genres, ethnicity and gender, writers who have enriched our lives and in their time literally transformed music and helped make it what it is today.”
To qualify for induction, a songwriter must possess a notable catalog of songs that spans at least 20 years after their first commercial release. This year’s induction ceremony will be held on Thursday, June 11 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.
