NEW YORK – Run-DMC once hailed themselves as the Kings of Rock, so it's fitting that the pioneering rappers have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Run-DMC joins the heavy metal band Metallica, guitarist Jeff Beck, soul singer Bobby Womack and doo-wop group Little Anthony and the Imperials as this year's inductee class.

Rockabilly singer Wanda Jackson gets a nod for the early influence category, and the sidemen inductees are session musician Spooner Oldham and two of Elvis Presley's musicians — drummer D.J. Fontana and bassist Bill Black.

The induction ceremony will be held in Cleveland — where the Rock Hall is based — on April 4.

D.J Fontana and Bill Black are overdue

and just Spooner Oldham??!?!?!?!?!?!?

The rest of the Muscle Shoals band should be inducted as well. All the records they played on.

Run DMC certainly deserves it. I grew up with them, and they are the first artists of hip hop, group or solo, to do everything that is being done today.
