I don't think she's been nominated either. Perhaps the fans need to campaign. While I'd love to see her get the honor as a solo, as I said before, because the HOF is so arbitrary with who gets in and who doesn't, I don't revere the hall like some other folks do, so I would never bother trying to get her in. Her legacy is bigger than the Hall will ever be anyway.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has become meaningless and irrelevant. The original focus of the Hall has become so diluted and unclear as time goes on [[predictably so).
The use and definition of the term Rock & Roll is confusing. The term was used in the 50's for a specific type of hybrid R&B/Country music. As a Baby Boomer, I took it to include music popular among young people & teens of my generation, the Beatles, Beach Boys, Supremes, Four Seasons, etc., as opposed to the popular music of my parents' generation.
For me, The Supremes and Aretha Franklin clearly belong in a "Rock & Roll" Hall of Fame. Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick and Whitney Houston not so clearly [[IMO). I really don't care if Diana Ross is ever nominated as a solo artist. But that's just me.
