Is the “wrecking crew” in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame?
The entire Wrecking Crew was inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2007, but not The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. A few of the individual members including drummers Hal Blaine and Earl Palmer were inducted as sidemen in 2000 and Elton John inducted Leon Russell in 2011 but Glen Campbell hasn’t been, even though he’s been eligible since the early 70’s.
