“Elton John said in a statement on Thursday that Ms. Summer should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an honor that eluded her. “Her records sound as good today as they ever did,” he said. “That she has never been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a total disgrace, especially when I see the second-rate talent that has been inducted.”
