LL Cool J, Carole King, Tina Turner are part of an eclectic 2021 class of musicians inducted into Rock Hall
LL Cool J got together some of his heavyweight musical friends to usher him into rock immortality.
Cool J then did a medley of his hits, including “Rock The Bells” accompanied by a bearded Eminem before he was joined by J-Lo for “All I Have.” Cool J wrapped up his blistering performance with one of his biggest hits “Mama Said Knock You Out.” Electronic pioneers Kraftwerk, singer-poet Gil Scott-Heron and Delta blues legend Charley Patton are being inducted as early influencers and Sussex Records founder Clarence Avant is receiving the Ahmet Ertegun Award.
“Let it not be forgotten,” King said. “They also stand on the shoulders of the first woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. May she rest in power, Miss Aretha Franklin.” “If they’re still giving me awards at 81,” Turner said in a video message. “I must have done something right.” Keith Urban and H.E.R. then performed Turner’s “It’s Only Love” a duet Turner did with Bryan Adams before Mickey Guyton sang “What’s Love Got To Do With It” and Christina Aguilera belted “River Deep, Mountain High” one of Turner’s first hits.
