The Go-Go’s, the female quintet which had a string of hits in the 1980s, will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of a powerhouse class that includes Tina Turner, Jay-Z, Carole King, Foo Fighters and Todd Rundgren.

Defying odds and smashing norms in a male-dominated field, the all-female band, The Go Go's, which had a string of hits propelled by MTV play in the 1980s, will be inducted Saturday, Oct.
On Friday, the Go-Go’s — guitarist Charlotte Caffey, lead singer Belinda Carlisle, drummer Gina Schock, bassist Kathy Valentine and guitarist/singer Jane Wiedlin — took part in a ceremony to dedicate their Hall of Fame signature plaque and toured a new exhibit featuring this year’s inductees. Still, they were dismissed by some critics and musicians who didn’t take them seriously. Caffey said those obstacles only strengthened them.
This is the first time the event has been held at Cleveland’s largest venue following previous ceremonies at Public Hall Auditorium. King’s iconic 1971 album “Tapestry” had a profound effect on Caffey, who said being inducted along with one of her idols and Turner makes it more special.
