The loss of Naomi Judd changed the normal festive ceremony, but the music continued, as the singers and musicians of the genre mourned Naomi Judd while celebrating all four entrants: The Judds, Ray Charles, Eddie Bayers and Pete Drake. Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Vince Gill and many others performed their songs. Naomi and Wynonna Judd were one of the most popular twins of the 1980s, scoring 14 No. 1 hits during their nearly three-decade career. On the eve of her accession, the family said in a statement to the Associated Press that Naomi Jade had died at the age of 76 due to “mental illness”. Daughters Wynonna and Ashley Judd accepted the induction through tears, holding each other and reciting a Bible verse together. “I’m sorry he could not be held until today,” Ashley Judd said of her mother in the crowd as she wept. Wynonna Judd talked about the family reunion as she and Ashley Judd said goodbye and recited Psalm 23. “Even though my heart is broken, I will continue to sing,” said Wynonna Judd.

The introduction of Charles introduced his releases that defied the genre, which showed the commercial impact of the genre. The Georgian-born singer and pianist grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry and in 1962 released “Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music”, which became one of the best-selling country releases of its time. The pianist, blind and orphaned at a young age, is best known for R&B, gospel and soul, but his decision to record country music changed the way people thought about the genre, broadening the audience to the age of Civil Rights. Charles’ release of “I Can’t Stop Loving You” spent five weeks at the top of the Billboard 100 chart and remains one of his most popular songs. He died in 2004. Brooks sang “Seven Spanish Angels”, one of Charles’ hits with Willie Nelson, while Bettye LaVette performed “I Can’t Stop Loving You”. Ronnie Milsap of the Country Music Hall of Famer said he met Charles when he was a young singer and that others tried to imitate Charles, but no one could respond. “It was one of them and only one,” Milsap said. “She sang her country music as it should be sung.” The Hall of Fame also introduced two recording musicians who were essential to so many country songs and singers: Eddie Bayers and Pete Drake. Bayers, a Nashville drummer for decades who has worked on 300 platinum records, is a member of the Grand Ole Opry band. He regularly played on records for The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, George Strait, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney. He is the first drummer to enter the institution. Drake, who died in 1988, was a pedal guitarist and a member of the Nashville A-Group of skilled musicians, starring in hits such as Tammy Wynette’s “Stand By Your Man” and “He Stopped Loving Her Today”. of George Jones. . He is the first pedal guitarist to become a member of the Hall of Fame. More
