No idea, as I consider the RnR HoF a great big joke, but If there was any justice in the world, it should be either Sister Rosetta Tharpe or Carol Kaye. And I know that the latter isn't.

Aretha Franklin? Dionne Warwick? Diana Ross? Marie Osmond?

I'm going to go with Aretha.

Or named after what?

I suppose my point was that Robert Van de Graaff is a different spelling to Van der Graaf so theoretically the band weren't named after the American inventor

I didn’t realise that until yesterday
