H.E.R., Keith Urban, Lead Tina Turner Tribute At Rock Hall Induction

Author Erica Banas // Rock Music Reporter

CLEVELAND, OHIO - OCTOBER 30: H.E.R. (L) and Keith Urban perform onstage during the 36th Annual Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse on October 30, 2021 in Cleveland, Ohio.

“What brings us here tonight is Tina’s journey to independence,” said Angela Bassett, who did the honors in inducting Tina Turner into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Bassett famously played Turner in the 1993 biopic What’s Love Got To Do With It. Bassett noted, “It was one of the most demanding roles I ever played, but it was the most rewarding.”

A video package highlighting Turner’s incredible solo career followed and featured a number of Turner’s most iconic solo performances, including one with her and Cher from The Cher Show. Cher was one of many artists appearing in the video talking about Turner’s greatness and she said, “The definition of insanity is getting up on stage with Tina Turner…I don’t think there’s ever going to be another woman to touch her.”

Turner did not make the trip to Cleveland to accept her Rock Hall award but she recorded a speech. She said, “If they’re still giving me awards at 81, I must’ve done something right.”

Turner’s was represented in three very dynamic performances. H.E.R and Keith Urban performed “It’s Only Love,” the song she recorded with Bryan Adams. (Adams was supposed to perform with H.E.R. but had to back out of the performance due to testing positive for COVID.)

Country star Mickey Guyton followed performing “What’s Love Got to Do With It” dressed like Turner from the song’s music video in a denim jacket and a black leather dress. Christina Aguilera then took to the stage and performed “River Deep, Mountain High,” which the audience ate up.

  • Carole King (Performer)

    Share

  • Todd Rundgren (Performer)

    Share

    Previously nominated in 2019 and 2020.

  • Tina Turner (Performer)

    Share

  • Clarence Avant (Ahmet Ertegun Award)

    Share

    Clarence Avant, the Godfather of Black Music, is cool, savvy, confident, and fearless – someone who makes the impossible possible. He’s served a variety of roles during his illustrious career, including manager, label owner, concert organizer, event producer, political fundraiser, and mentor. Avant is the quintessential impresario, with an uncanny ability to connect people, open doors, and provide opportunities to countless musicians, actors, and politicians. Bill Withers summed up his impact by declaring, “He puts people together.” Avant will be inducted by Lionel Richie.

  • LL Cool J (Musical Excellence Award)

    Share

    LL Cool J has been called the Little Richard of hip-hop. Both artists combined youthful exuberance, massive charisma, and incredible musical talent to launch their respective genres of rock & roll to fans around the world. LL was still a teenager when he became the face of Def Jam records – his 1985 'Radio' was the label’s first album. He ushered in hip-hop’s second wave with hard-hitting singles like “I Need a Beat,” “I Can’t Live Without My Radio,” and “Rock the Bells.” LL’s work with Def Jam paved the way for future label mates Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, and Slick Rick.  

  • Billy Preston (Musical Excellence Award)

    Share

    Session musician. Singer. Songwriter. Touring musician. The Fifth Beatle. Billy Preston blazed a path through the history of rock & roll with the smoking sounds of his B3 organ, the funky rhythms of his clavinet, and the exciting tones of his gospel-inspired vocals and piano. A child prodigy, Billy played organ with Mahalia Jackson, and in 1957 at the age of 10, he appeared on the 'Nat King Cole Show,' performing a duet with Cole – trading vocal parts and organ licks – Preston’s natural talent shining through.

  • Randy Rhoads (Musical Excellence Award)

    Share

    Widely acknowledged as one of the most important and influential guitarists of all time, Randy Rhoads was a dramatic game changer for heavy metal and for generations of guitar players. After recording two albums with Quiet Riot (the band he cofounded in 1973), Rhoads joined ex-Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne's new solo band in 1979. In many ways due to Rhoads' stunning guitar work, Osbourne's first solo release, 'Blizzard of Ozz' (1980), is recognized as one of heavy metal’s greatest albums, and its biggest single, “Crazy Train,” features one of the most recognizable guitar riffs ever played.

  • Kraftwerk (Early Influence Award)

    Share

    Inductees: Karl Bartos, Wolfgang Flür, Ralf Hütter, Florian Schneider.

  • Gil Scott Heron (Early Influence Award)

    Share

    Poet, novelist, scholar and musician, Gil Scott-Heron was many things during his prolific career but above all, in the words of music critic Nelson George, “he was a teller of uncomfortable truths.” Scott-Heron’s career path was unconventional, mirroring his nonconformist approach to music.

  • Charley Patton (Early Influence Award)

    Share

    Before Jimi Hendrix mastered the guitar, before Chuck Berry pioneered rock & roll, and even before Robert Johnson had strummed a single chord – Charley Patton did it all. Without the Father of the Delta Blues, American popular music as we know it would not exist.
