There are many familiar names in this year's Hall of Fame class.
Billy F Gibbons, Marty Stuart, and Vince Gill are members of the Musicians Hall of Fame.
Vince Gill, Billy Gibbons, Marty Stuart, Ray Stevens, and Don McLean have always been about the love of playing music.
George Massenburg, an engineer who worked on more than 400 records with artists such as Earth, Wind & Fire, Linda Ronstadt, and others, and James William Guercio, a producer and musician who worked with Chicago, the Beach Boys, are all examples of that.
The Class of 2022, is made up of everyone.

In a private ceremony early in the afternoon of November 22nd, the new members of the Hall of Fame were presented with their medals, and later in the evening, they were formally inducted into the Hall of Fame. The concert featured many performances, many with the artists themselves, touching in a small way on each of the contributors to music
Vince Gill talked about how special it was to be in the Hall of Fame.
Gill andMarty have been friends for a long time. Billy Gibbons and ZZ Top toured with me in 1980. We were able to open for them. There is a lot of history in who is part of this evening. I get to show it to a lot of people.
Gill was inducted into the Hall of Fame by one of his friends, singer/songwriter Rodney Crowell, who also performed one of Gill's songs.
Inducting Vince Gill and performing one of his songs was done by singer/song writer Rodney Crowell.

Gill has played in a number of different bands over the course of his career. He helps and encourages other artists. He has performed on more than 1000 records for other artists.
He says his love for what he does has always been about the music.
I didn't think I was going to be Elvis when I was a kid. I wanted to be like Scott Moore, his guitarist. I wanted to be a harmony singer when I was younger. I didn't want to be up front. It feels like a fair representation of who I have always seen myself as.
After leaving Mississippi at the age of 12 to join the band of Lester Flatt, Marty Stuart went on to play in Johnny Cash's band. Stuart said that the goal has always been to get the chance to play great music, like Gill.
Stuart said it was strange because he just got up and went to work. There are some mountains along the way. One time someone said that everyone likes to get a gold star in Sunday school. The beauty of this one is that I can share it with the Superlatives.

Stuart and his group performed a song called "Heaven" in memory of the founder of the Musicians Hall of Fame, Joe Chambers, who passed away. Chambers died in September and was well-loved and regarded for his contributions to musicians. Linda Chambers stepped in to her new role as CEO to continue her husband's work as Chambers' name was warmly mentioned throughout the night.
Ray Stevens moved to Nashville because he wanted to play music. The Hall of Fame's Jay McDowell smiled as he presented Stevens with his medallion, noting that it was hard to believe that Stevens was the same person who wrote "everything is beautiful" and "the streak" The multi-talented 83-year-old Stevens performed two songs.

He said he was proud to be in.
He said he came to be a musician. It took me away from the studio scene when I wrote and recorded some songs. I spent a lot of time in the studio as a musician and producer, so this is very meaningful to me.
Don Mclean was honored for etching his name in history with his classic song "American Pie." The evening concert had a performance by McLean.
It has been a busy year for Don McLean, who was featured in a documentary that told the story of "American Pie" and gave his explanation of the lyrics.

Billy Gibbons created so many famous riffs as lead guitarist for ZZ Top that it was difficult to pick one. The category he was in was called "ICONIC RIF".
Gibbons said she was honored to be a part of a group of deserving individuals that have put their best foot forward. Accepting this honor gave us a reason to do more.
The discovery of an old Jimi Hendrix recording gave Gibbons the chance to play one of Hendrix's guitars on Jimmy Kimmel.
The Forum in Los Angeles was where the Jimi Hendrix Experience was recorded. I was there that night. I got a call from Jimi in Detroit. We are in LA for a couple of days.

He chuckled and said yes. "We were just getting started."
When Gibbons was in LA in 1969 he was excited to play some Hendrix songs on one of Hendrix's guitars in his old friend's honor.
It turned out to be a great event. It was very large.
Gibbons spoke on stage at the Musicians Hall of Fame about the celebration of musicianship.
The Hall of Fame's house band was joined by Gibbons and Steve Wariner, who were inducting him. Everybody was moving quickly.
The legendary guitarist began signaling different musicians to play a solo after playing ZZ Top songs. He would cue another when he finished with one. Gibbons would go round and round, back to each musician, without warning. They all loved it. Everyone has a chance to show off.
