It’s exactly my genre. I love 70’s R&B and funk.

Rubberband Man has been a favorite song for years.

That said, I don’t consider soul and R&B to be rock and roll and wonder why the Spinners or any such bands would be considered.

If they are to be considered, they should also be inducted.

I don't really like the RORHOF, and like you I don't understand their genre requirements.

There is a Soul Music Hall of Fame (Detroit) and a Funk Music Hall of Fame (Dayton, OH).

Maybe the RORHOF should have been called the Popular Music HOF. They want it both ways. But they same to be idiots.

Why did they start calling R&B, what used to be called Soul?

Also, the publication this is in is called “Ultimate Classic Rock,” but they did cover the Spinners.
