LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT

NON-PERFORMERS

The "non-performer" category honors songwriters, producers, disc jockeys, concert promoters, record company executives, etc. Several of the inductees in this category (most notably, Carole King , Herb Alpert and Allen Toussaint ) were in fact fairly well-known as performers as well. The following were inducted as non-performers:


SIDEMEN

The following were inducted as Sidemen :


MULTIPLE INDUCTEES

Some people have been inducted more than once. The current record holder is Eric Clapton who has been inducted three times. These include:


The most honored band is the Beatles . Three of the Fab Four have been inducted as solo artists. Their longtime producer Sir George Martin has also been inducted, as has Phil Spector who produced the album '' Let It Be ''.

Several performers have been inducted as members of one band, but were not officially inducted when one of their other bands got enshrined. Some examples:


The performer who missed by the narrowest margin would arguably be drummer Kenney Jones . First, he played for The Faces whose lead singer Rod Stewart was inducted as a solo artist only. Then, he joined The Who in 1978 after the untimely death of Keith Moon , and was an official member of the band until they broke up for the first time in 1982. However, only the four founding members of the Who were enshrined.
