Let's be honest here. Connie Francis isn't in the R&R Hall of Fame because she was too girly. Wanda and Brenda had rough-sounding voices so they were seen as more "rock" from the POV of Jan Wenner.
>>130361364dude, they let fucking rappers into the RRHOF it has no meaning at all
>>130361548Yeah, fuck niggers
>>130361364Brenda Lee is a full-fledged RRHOF member, she was inducted by Jewel of all people. Wanda Jackson is in as an "Early Influence."
>>130361364they won't even let in actual rock groups if RSM doesn't like them
is Connie Francis rock? she seems more like a Frank Sinatra. not in the sense that she sounds like Sinatra, but that her style of music seems like a pre-rock sort of pop music.
>>130362470it's more like she had a very pretty, neoclassical style of singing that rockfags don't like (Cuckgau is notoriously anal about that and how you can't be rock-and-roll if you sound like Night at the Metropolitan). as OP said they were more accepting of Brenda Lee as she sounded gritty.
>>130362470She very much did have rockers particularly in the early days although eventually her output was mostly ballads and world music.
>>130361548Ricky Nelson is in there and he was a Fabian-tier teen idol.
>>130362705but he was a legit musician while Fabian was not
>>130361364I find it funny that Wanda Jackson's ballads were her most commercially successful songs but the rock cuts are the ones people care about.
>>130368370>the ballads get all the airplayDuh?
