There are many who have claimed Jimi Hendrix as the greatest guitar player who ever lived and those who don’t usually place him in their top five. Hendrix took the guitar to places it had never been before and he may very well be an influence for guitarists for generations to come.
We are guessing that the Songwriters Hall of Fame is looking to jump the gun a bit as their scheduled announcement of their finalists coincides with tomorrow’s impending announcement (though it was announced after their press release that the Rock Hall would do their announcement Thursday) from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as to who they intend to name as their finalists.
No matter, as we here at Notinhalloffame.com are ready and able to take a look at the finalists for next year’s Songwriter’s Hall of Fame Class.
The nominees are:
Lionel Bart
Bert Berns
Blondie
Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds
Rudy Clark
Bernard Edwards
Gloria Estefan
Dallas Frazier
Marvin Gaye
Berry Gordy
Tom T. Hall
George Harrison
Jimi Hendrix
The Isley Brothers
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis

It will be a few months, before we learn who will make this next class and although we here at Notinhalloffame.com are not really investigating the possibility of doing a Notinhalloffame.com Songwriters list, we certainly will be paying attention as to who gets in!
