The Hall of Fame denied her request. They explained their scope for recognition is not “defined by any one genre.”
A statement on Twitter Reads:
“In addition to her incredible talent as an artist, her humility is another reason Dolly is a beloved icon by millions of fans around the world.” From its inception, rock roll has had deep roots in rhythm & blues and country music. It is not defined by any one genre, rather a sound that moves youth culture.”
“[Parton’s] nomination to be considered for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame followed the same process as all other artists who have been considered.”
