Tina is amazing.as is Cher (still not there solo, just as a duo). or Cyndi. is Diana Ross in there at least twice?
since rnrhof despite all their shortcomings still means something, also good to finally see more women and women-fronted bands finally inducted in recent years, Janet, Pat Benatar, Carole King (2nd time) .Eurythmics, Carly Simon, The Go-Go's... and for most of these names one can easily say - really hof? only inducted now?
and then there's incomparable Dolly (whether or not she or you think she is rnr enough).
interesting (although now outdated because from 2021) article with very relevant excerpt here:
But when compared to others, it makes one wonder. Singer/Actor Cher has sold more than 100 million records worldwide and is recognized as one of the world's top-selling female recording artists of all time. She’s had 7 Grammy Award nominations and won one Grammy for “Believe.” Cher, a cultural icon and rock legend, completing 26 studio albums, ten compilation albums, two soundtrack albums and three live albums still waits for the nod. And by the way, didn’t Cher set fashion and cultural trends from her stages as a rock Goddess for some four decades? And yet, no doors open for her at the RRHOF. Cyndi Lauper has released 11 studio albums, six compilation albums, five video albums and fifty-one singles. Worldwide, Cyndi has sold approximately 50 million albums. She’s had 16 Grammy Award nominations and won two. Neither of them are in the Hall as yet.
much more here, including Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan, Gloria Estefan, and the list goes on:
