Unannounced acts Eminem, Dave Chappelle, and Jennifer Lopez helped make this one of the most entertaining Rock Hall inductions in recent memory
Inducted as a solo artist, King blazed a trail for songwriters like Swift. "To be able to set that standard for women in the future? That's an amazing thing," King says
"I keep hearing ... that today's female singers and songwriters stand on my shoulders. Let it not be forgotten that they also stand on the shoulders of ... Miss Aretha Franklin," says King, only the third woman to be twice-inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
"The purity to the music she creates exists between two worlds: the mysterious magical inspiration and decades of hard-earned, and hard-learned, craftsmanship"
Swift performed "Will You Love Me Tomorrow," a song originally co-written and performed by 2021 inductee King
Frank Marshall-directed and co-produced film slated to premiere on CNN
Dozens of artists and celebrities are calling for fans to get involved
"When I look back on my career, Aretha was like the blueprint of it all," actress says in behind-the-scenes interview
Respect star and "Natural Woman" co-writer crafted the soundtrack's only original with producer Will.i.am, songwriter Jamie Hartman
"There's no 'long overdue' about it," she says. "I feel like I've had an amazing life and an amazing career and I'm just grateful"
