Eric Clapton will be inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame, according to the Blues Foundation. Clapton will be inducted along with Little Richard and Griffin Brothers Orchestra singerTommy Brown. “Eric has been tapped for induction for his many musical achievements, as well as for his role as a popularizer of the entire genre,” the foundation says. “He brought the blues to audiences in his native Britain and throughout the world, illuminating the work of the artists who inspired him.” The 36th annual ceremony takes place on May 7 following two days of celebrations, to be followed by the opening of the Blues Hall Of Fame museum and concert hall on May 8. More than 130 artists have been inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame since 1980. Copyright(c) 2015 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
