Inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

The group is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame during the 24th induction ceremony. Anthony Gourdine:

What we did was follow our dream. I’ve been blessed by God for 50 years to do what I like to do and have people pay me for it. I’ve never worked a day in my life. People will say to me, ‘Well, you’re singing.’ I just tell them, ‘That ain’t work.’
