.rockhall isn’t removing DollyParton from this year’s nominees list
The iconic country singer elaborated on her decision in an“My perception and I think the perception of most of America — I just feel like that’s more for the people in rock music,” Parton said.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has officially acknowledged Parton’s request but, effectively, denied it. “From its inception, Rock & Roll has had deep roots in Rhythm & Blues and Country music,” said the foundation’s statement. In more recent years, the Foundation has made efforts to diversify its inductees to better reflect important cultural contributions by artists who were overlooked in the past. With that undertaking, the Foundation has had to explain every year that it uses “Rock & Roll” as a blanket term for musical innovation and inspiration across all genres of music.
From its inception, Rock & Roll has had deep roots in Rhythm & Blues and Country music. It is not defined by any one genre, rather a sound that moves youth culture. Dolly Parton’s music impacted a generation of young fans and influenced countless artists that followed. Her nomination to be considered for induction into to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame followed the same process as all other artists who have been considered.
