1
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,760
To enroll the band Duran Duran
in Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,

2
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,799
Robert Downey Jr.

3
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,599
I am extremely excited!

4
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,480
California... knows how to party!

5
00:01:45,599 --> 00:01:50,879
It's crazy. Let's get started.

6
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,280
I have a question.
How you can have longevity

7
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,760
in perhaps the most difficult industry
from the planet?

8
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:13,520
I would say that through a lot of work
and headbands.

9
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:17,000
And by that I mean...

10
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,719
fashion that defines an era,
high level music

11
00:02:23,159 --> 00:02:27,800
and hits, right? Dozens of hits,
albums sold,

12
00:02:27,879 --> 00:02:30,240
hundreds of millions if possible

13
00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:33,280
but most importantly,

14
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,759
you need DSM, Fun
Sophisticated and Cool.

15
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,240
You know who has one?
Duran Duran.

16
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,800
Duran Duran own that space

17
00:03:01,159 --> 00:03:05,479
and I've been doing this for over 40 years.

18
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:09,639
Read the lyrics to the song Paper Gods,

19
00:03:09,719 --> 00:03:12,120
see the video for Celebration.

20
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:17,400
Cry into the mirror while humming
Ordinary World.

21
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,719
Look at the faces of seven-year-olds
or of young people over 20

22
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,439
when I hear Girls On Film, Hungry
Like the Wolf, Save a Prayer

23
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:31,759
or Wild Boys for the first time
and they pretend to be surprised

24
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,840
when I hear the other 79 hits
which they wrote

25
00:03:34,919 --> 00:03:37,080
and which they missed
and which are equally good.

26
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,759
You're going crazy.

27
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:49,759
I am lucky to be here in this
evening The origin of this legendary band

28
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:54,479
it boils down to two words:
trust and faith.

29
00:03:55,599 --> 00:04:00,000
Nick and John made an announcement
in Melody Maker.

30
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,639
Roger answered the ad, and after
what that mighty trio formed,

31
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:08,159
they chose a poet dressed in some
pink pants, named Simon.

32
00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,840
And then, later, he signed
and Andy.

33
00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,639
The rest is history.

34
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,399
A history of mutual trust
and in us

35
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,000
the audience they never got
by the way.

36
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:27,639
And the fact that they were always transparent

37
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,720
regarding their work,
as we all are

38
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,240
makes me feel that's why
i love these guys.

39
00:04:33,319 --> 00:04:35,399
Well... that's the gift
which they offered us.

40
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:40,600
They gave their fans permission
to grow and change,

41
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,079
to switch from one mode
and to accept another.

42
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,480
And... okay, here it is: one of the
the most unreal moments

43
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,879
that I have ever lived I will
stays in the mind forever.

44
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:58,000
At my 50th birthday party,
they had a small number, and I'm not lying,

45
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:02,000
halfway through the song Rio, the wife of a
prominent Hollywood director

46
00:05:02,079 --> 00:05:06,800
she took off her bra
and threw him on the stage.

47
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,800
I think they still know.
Is it contagious.

48
00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:18,000
Duran Duran invites us to relive
the best days here and now

49
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:22,720
and they are in front of us.
So, as a fan, I'm amazed.

50
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,160
It's an honor to be here

51
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,839
for their introduction
in Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,

52
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:32,839
but as a man

53
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,160
I am grateful that these
talented souls

54
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:43,439
what cements them, finally,
the inheritance.

55
00:05:43,519 --> 00:05:45,040
Let's see the pictures!

56
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:49,879
Have you ever heard the name Duran Duran?

57
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:52,879
Duran Duran?

58
00:05:52,959 --> 00:05:55,199
Duran Duran from planet Earth.

59
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,600
I was convinced that I would get married
with a member of the band Duran Duran.

60
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:11,920
If not all five.

61
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,600
I was so in love
by Duran Duran, that it hurt.

62
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:21,639
Duran Duran is my life. And I grew up
dancing to their music.

63
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:25,839
John! John!

64
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,759
When I started the Duran Duran project,
in 1979,

65
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,959
I had a very vivid image of
how I wanted it to sound.

66
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,639
We had to find the right people.

67
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,639
It was me and John, and then
Roger came too.

68
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,000
And Andy and Simon were
the last pieces of the puzzle.

69
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:49,120
Simon came to rehearsals once
and had the lyrics.

70
00:06:49,199 --> 00:06:50,399
we got some songs here

71
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,240
we just have to put them to music.

72
00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:03,759
Good evening and welcome
on our show.

73
00:07:09,519 --> 00:07:11,360
For a band it's... We have records,

74
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:13,959
we have live concerts,
and now you have the videos,

75
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,959
which are something new and interesting.

76
00:07:17,759 --> 00:07:20,560
First time I saw
Girls on Film, I told myself…

77
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:22,480
"What is this?" "What's going on?"

78
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,000
It was something very artistic

79
00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:26,879
and they had different outfits, hairstyles

80
00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:30,240
and makeup that fascinated you.

81
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:34,680
I entered many countries in the world,

82
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:36,720
but I did not enter America.

83
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,000
We could not get in touch
with no one

84
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,319
But luckily, along came MTV.

85
00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:42,000
They wanted to introduce new bands.

86
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:44,120
And after they did that, the posts
radio started broadcasting

87
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:46,160
Hungry Like the Wolf.

88
00:07:57,839 --> 00:07:59,680
No one knew that due to exposure,

89
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:01,959
especially in this country
we were broadcast 24 hours a day,

90
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,040
people would start to know
more about our band.

91
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,959
And now, direct from London,
Duran Duran.

92
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:19,079
everywhere you look

93
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,399
you saw Duran Duran in every mall,

94
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:22,800
on every outfit.

95
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:26,319
Their style, their music, whatever they did
he was getting huge.

96
00:08:27,879 --> 00:08:31,439
We always wrote the songs together.

97
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:35,720
We talked until we sat down
I agree and I was saying...

98
00:08:35,799 --> 00:08:38,600
"Okay, now we have something.
We can build from here."

99
00:08:45,639 --> 00:08:47,440
While Nick Rhodes
save the planet,

100
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:52,200
we have more videos
on MTV Music Television.

101
00:08:57,399 --> 00:09:01,960
The songs were so well written
and so captivating

102
00:09:02,039 --> 00:09:04,080
so you couldn't anymore
to put them out of your mind.

103
00:09:09,039 --> 00:09:10,559
Excuse me, are you...

104
00:09:10,639 --> 00:09:12,720
Bond. Simon Bond.

105
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,639
Reflexively, it seemed like a song
very commercial

106
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,360
but something was missing. And then we thought
that Nile could help us.

107
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,519
They called me and said...

108
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,279
"Nile, could you do a remix for us?"

109
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,799
I told them: "I will do what I would have done

110
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:30,519
if i was with you
when you wrote the song."

111
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,240
Ordinary World is a song

112
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:55,159
about trying to pass
over the death of his best friend.

113
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,720
It became a very important song
for us

114
00:09:57,799 --> 00:10:01,159
and I think he had the power to touch
so many people

115
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:02,960
because it meant a lot
for me

116
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,639
We have a feeling that we have something

117
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,399
when we are together
which is worth seeing us for.

118
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,039
We go and sing
and we remember each other...

119
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,519
"When we do this together,
that's what we're up to."

120
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,120
They are legends, they are huge.

121
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,320
They still have closed house concerts

122
00:10:37,399 --> 00:10:40,720
and continues to inspire many people.

123
00:11:02,519 --> 00:11:06,720
Nick Rhodes, John Taylor,
Roger Taylor, Simon Le Bon,

124
00:11:07,519 --> 00:11:12,200
I sit on my knees while you
stand up for Duran Duran!

125
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:47,759
Thank you.

126
00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:09,440
First, two members
of our band

127
00:20:09,519 --> 00:20:11,319
unfortunately I can't be here.

128
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,799
Warren Cuccurullo,
an extraordinary guitarist.

129
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,839
He contributed enormously
to the band Duran Duran.

130
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,480
And there's Andy Taylor,
our original guitarist.

131
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,880
He wrote us an open letter.

132
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,440
I will read from it.

133
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,200
"It's an absolute honor
to be nominated

134
00:20:35,599 --> 00:20:39,519
not to mention arrive
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.

135
00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:42,880
There is no greater recognition.

136
00:20:43,759 --> 00:20:45,240
four years ago

137
00:20:45,319 --> 00:20:49,880
I was diagnosed with cancer
fourth degree prostate.

138
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,160
Many families have faced
with the slow burn of this disease,

139
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,279
and we, of course, are no different.

140
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,119
So I'm talking to you from perspective
a family member,

141
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,720
but with deep humility
towards the band.

142
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,240
I had the best fans
that we could have

143
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,440
and this is
an exceptional distinction.

144
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,400
I am sorry and deeply disappointed
that I couldn't be there.

145
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,359
I don't want there to be any doubt,
i wanted to be there

146
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,039
I actually bought it
and a new guitar.

147
00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:26,039
I am very proud of these
my four brothers.

148
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:28,680
I am amazed at their vivacity

149
00:21:28,759 --> 00:21:31,799
and I gladly accept this distinction.

150
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,880
I'm so damn glad I'm alive
this day.

151
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,880
i love you Andy Taylor."

152
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,839
A career in music is in itself
an honor

153
00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:51,440
In the more than 40 years
where I worked

154
00:21:51,519 --> 00:21:54,720
I realized
that the essence of our work

155
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,519
is to make people
to feel better in their own skin.

156
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,920
I'm proud to be a part of it
from this industry.

157
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:22,400
We are extremely happy
that we are here tonight.

158
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,039
Music raised us
and gave us an identity.

159
00:22:26,559 --> 00:22:31,599
We wouldn't be here without the influences
the Beatles, by David Bowie

160
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:37,720
and Mick Ronson, Siouxsie Sioux
and Patti Smith. Nile Rodgers

161
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:42,680
and Bernard Edwards. These artists
and many others

162
00:22:42,759 --> 00:22:47,039
were once our parents,
mentors and spiritual guides.

163
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:51,000
Without them and their music,
maybe we wouldn't have found each other.

164
00:22:54,319 --> 00:22:59,240
Hello! Thank you.
I'm used to sitting in the back

165
00:22:59,319 --> 00:23:00,519
so I won't say much.

166
00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:06,240
I want to thank the Hall of Fame.
Finally, we are here.

167
00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:10,920
It was a long way from Birmingham.

168
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,680
And I want to thank my colleagues
of the band

169
00:23:14,759 --> 00:23:18,720
for this incredible journey
which we have had for 40 years

170
00:23:18,799 --> 00:23:21,279
and which still continues.

171
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,039
I would like to thank everyone
who worked with Duran Duran

172
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,079
in the last 40 years.
musicians, producers,

173
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,240
managers, agents, record companies,
technicians,

174
00:23:34,839 --> 00:23:37,279
stylists, filmmakers.

175
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:41,480
And I would like to thank the families
ours, because they were with us

176
00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:45,920
throughout this journey,
to me and to evil. thank you

177
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:59,160
It's great to be in a room
full of people who love music.

178
00:23:59,519 --> 00:24:03,079
All the people in this room
i am here

179
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,480
because you love music. When I had
10 years, I met John

180
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,759
and our love bound us
since then for music.

181
00:24:10,839 --> 00:24:14,359
A few years later,
we are still together

182
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,440
But actually, I think it was
a long lasting marriage.

183
00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:18,839
Somehow, I'm married to three people.

184
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,559
Some people call it polygamy,
but for us it's just a band.

185
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:28,000
We are all driven by fans.
We were fans.

186
00:24:28,079 --> 00:24:31,440
John read a band list
that influenced us.

187
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,240
I would like to mention it again
and the New York Dolls,

188
00:24:35,319 --> 00:24:38,119
which was very important and which
was nominated this year.

189
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,400
They didn't make it, but I hope they will.

190
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,160
I want to thank the fans.

191
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,160
We know what it means to be a fan.
I won the fan vote.

192
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,119
Thank you for that.
It meant a lot to us.

193
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,440
And that makes us go further.
That's why we're here. Thank you.

194
00:24:55,519 --> 00:24:58,039
We share this prize with you.
Thank you.

195
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,839
When I was little, all the songs from
radio were produced by Jimmy Jam

196
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,119
and Terry Lewis.

197
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,440
All that was in fashion was their sound.

198
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,079
When I met Jimmy and Terry,
an instant connection was created.

199
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,119
They understood me and helped me
to find my voice

200
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:31,160
And I was influenced
by Jimmy and Terry's productions.

201
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,960
Their songs were the soundtrack
of my life.

202
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:45,799
When I started and I told everyone
that we want to become producers,

203
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,519
everyone asked us: "Why?
Be part of a band,

204
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:49,680
you are famous."

205
00:25:50,519 --> 00:25:52,400
Besides being fans of some artists,

206
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,240
we were also fans of some producers
and composers, so I said:

207
00:25:55,319 --> 00:25:57,319
"If we ever have the chance
let's do it we'll do it

208
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,559
we'd love to do that."

209
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,480
All right, this is our wall
with distinctions.

210
00:26:05,559 --> 00:26:08,720
We start with the origins, of course,
the time when...

211
00:26:09,079 --> 00:26:12,480
the newer stuff with Patti Austin,
Robert Palmer, and so on.

212
00:26:12,559 --> 00:26:15,839
The list goes on.
And of course, Janet Jackson.

213
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,440
We had the idea to work with Janet

214
00:26:29,519 --> 00:26:31,599
as no one had worked before.

215
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,160
Janet was singing something else
than what I had heard until then.

216
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,519
It was obvious that no one
he had not asked her opinion

217
00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:39,480
what she wanted to sing about.

218
00:26:39,559 --> 00:26:42,880
We wanted to produce his album.
It was like a revelation for her.

219
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,000
I feel like it's something magical
when we are all three together

220
00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:50,640
and when it comes to...

221
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,160
I can't be here.

222
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:55,759
I think the Jam and Lewis sound

223
00:26:55,839 --> 00:26:58,680
it is the best sound of artists.

224
00:26:58,759 --> 00:27:00,200
We always considered each other

225
00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:01,680
some tailors making a suit
for someone.

226
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,680
We were desperately trying to get out
an album and I wrote about 13 songs.

227
00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:12,759
And what I was doing
it wasn't good enough.

228
00:27:12,839 --> 00:27:15,880
It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good
like something made by jimmy and terry.

229
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,759
So we decided
let's start over in Minneapolis.

230
00:27:17,839 --> 00:27:20,880
The brilliant part was that Terry wrote
the verse and told the girls to sing...

231
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:22,759
"How far I've been
I was also human."

232
00:27:22,839 --> 00:27:24,880
That was the line
which put the icing on the cake.

233
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,000
Human League in first place

234
00:27:29,079 --> 00:27:31,880
and Janet Jackson in first place.
What is the secret of Jam and Lewis?

235
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,200
It's not really a secret.

236
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:37,000
I think the people we work with
they realized what we do.

237
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,759
There is nothing in my career,

238
00:27:43,839 --> 00:27:48,200
in terms of creativity,
which I would not take care of,

239
00:27:48,279 --> 00:27:49,799
but when i work with jimmy and terry,

240
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,359
I let them use my voice
and redo the piece.

241
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,680
They only want your truth from you,
your story

242
00:27:56,759 --> 00:28:00,000
And what do you have to say? one day,
I woke up and said to myself

243
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,920
that I want to put my life in order

244
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,640
and, God willing, Jimmy Jam and
Terry Lewis wrote this song for me.

245
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,720
It was as if he had forgotten
in my life.

246
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,960
The most beautiful part of the trip

247
00:28:24,039 --> 00:28:26,039
it's the life you live

248
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,200
and the people you meet along the way.

249
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,359
To introduce Jimmy Jam
and Terry Lewis,

250
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,359
a member of Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,
Janet Jackson.

251
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,960
As everyone knows,

252
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,720
I didn't lack older brothers
that I respect

253
00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:00,680
and I had a father who inspired me
and who encouraged me.

254
00:29:00,759 --> 00:29:04,400
But my half-brothers and the older ones
close artistic collaborators

255
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,559
it's jimmy jam and terry lewis.

256
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,200
I remember the first time
when we met

257
00:29:15,759 --> 00:29:20,640
they were part of one of the bands
my favorite, The Time.

258
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,640
Yes, it was love at first sight.

259
00:29:25,359 --> 00:29:28,240
And I feel that I succeeded
in music together.

260
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,680
They taught me a lot
and I accepted their lessons.

261
00:29:32,319 --> 00:29:35,640
When I started working on what
which became Control, with Jimmy and Terry,

262
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:42,039
in their hometown of Minneapolis,
there was no pressure whatsoever

263
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:45,960
and we felt like children
on Christmas morning.

264
00:29:46,039 --> 00:29:48,880
I had... how much did I have? 18, 19 years old

265
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,119
and no one granted me
no attention whatsoever.

266
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,319
No record label executive
he wasn't at the studio.

267
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,640
We were talking and laughing so much

268
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,240
so that sometimes it was as if we were not even working
to an album,

269
00:29:59,839 --> 00:30:03,839
until they presented me with an idea
which they had

270
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:08,359
Until I was 17, I did
what others have told me.

271
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,480
I did what my father told me
and I let my mother shape me.

272
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:21,799
I realized that the lyrics
they came directly from our conversations,

273
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,519
which excited me

274
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:27,200
because no one else has me
asked what I wanted to talk about.

275
00:30:27,279 --> 00:30:29,279
I had a million ideas,

276
00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:32,039
and Jimmy and Terry encouraged me
to put them on paper.

277
00:30:36,279 --> 00:30:41,920
Back then, I was a student,
composer, artist.

278
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:46,559
I was a young woman and an artist
who had a story to tell.

279
00:30:47,119 --> 00:30:50,519
And that's why we continued to work
together to this day

280
00:30:50,599 --> 00:30:52,559
almost 40 years later.

281
00:30:56,079 --> 00:30:57,279
It's a very long time.

282
00:30:58,079 --> 00:31:02,599
What I like most about them
is that I understand that making music

283
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:06,359
it doesn't just mean following the latest
trends or the latest sound

284
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:07,920
or follow the charts.

285
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,000
It means saying what you really feel
and express this

286
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:15,720
in a way that fans will appreciate.

287
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:20,359
I'm not the only artist with
Jimmy and Terry worked,

288
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:22,839
but I'm their favorite.

289
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:35,279
List of artists they collaborated with

290
00:31:35,359 --> 00:31:40,480
it's like an encyclopedia of artists
popular from the last 40 years.

291
00:31:40,559 --> 00:31:42,920
Let's see... Mary J. Blige,

292
00:31:45,119 --> 00:31:46,720
Aretha Franklin,

293
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:49,720
Mariah Carey,

294
00:31:50,799 --> 00:31:52,160
Lionel Richie,

295
00:31:53,799 --> 00:31:55,160
George Michael,

296
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,720
Boyz II Men,

297
00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:00,440
Usher,

298
00:32:01,519 --> 00:32:02,960
my brother Michael.

299
00:32:06,319 --> 00:32:10,200
For Jimmy and Terry Production,
it is the ultimate act of love.

300
00:32:10,279 --> 00:32:14,640
And as you continue to work
with them, that love grows.

301
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:21,400
So I couldn't be more proud
even more glad that I have the privilege

302
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:28,680
say tonight jimmy and terry
that I love you very much

303
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,480
and I want to welcome you
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.

304
00:32:53,119 --> 00:32:56,920
It's tough. God!

305
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,480
I think I should start
the party because...

306
00:32:59,559 --> 00:33:01,119
Let the party begin, Terry Lewis.

307
00:33:01,839 --> 00:33:03,119
Just the fact that I'm here

308
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,720
the man must make me
the luckiest in the world.

309
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:10,200
Because Janet Jackson
he just introduced me

310
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:17,880
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.
How about this?

311
00:33:19,559 --> 00:33:21,240
- It cannot be higher than that.
- That's right.

312
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,400
Look, man, there are a lot of people
whom I have to thank.

313
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,480
My mother is here with me tonight.

314
00:33:27,279 --> 00:33:31,440
Mom, this is the beginning
in our cellar.

315
00:33:32,119 --> 00:33:36,039
And, brother, what a noise I was making.
I don't know how he tolerated us.

316
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,640
I heard every day...

317
00:33:40,119 --> 00:33:41,559
"Slow that shit down."

318
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:50,000
Thank you, Mom, for putting up with everything
that noise. i love you

319
00:33:51,359 --> 00:33:54,519
I want to thank my brothers.

320
00:33:58,759 --> 00:34:05,000
Morris, Jesse, Jellybean,
Monty, Jimmy Jam, me and Jerome.

321
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,559
Because there's no one like The Time.

322
00:34:12,559 --> 00:34:16,320
But it would have been nothing without the Purple Man.

323
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,480
And we must all bow down
in front of Prince.

324
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,639
We have to thank him
of Clarence Avant.

325
00:34:26,599 --> 00:34:27,599
The Black Godfather.

326
00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:31,920
The Black Godfather, who gave us
a great opportunity

327
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:36,119
and offered us autonomy
to make music.

328
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,440
He didn't stick around to tell us
what to do

329
00:34:39,039 --> 00:34:40,920
He just told us: "Come to me
when you finish."

330
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:45,639
And that helped us form
the ability to create.

331
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,039
And I would like to thank my wife,
that keeps my feet on the ground.

332
00:34:49,119 --> 00:34:53,400
She is wonderful. honey i love you
I love you, my dear.

333
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:57,519
I'll let Jimmy Jam do the talking too,
because I can't anymore.

334
00:34:57,599 --> 00:34:58,760
I'm too excited. Bag.

335
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:06,400
Set me up, girl. My stylist.
Janet Jackson, my stylist.

336
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,039
You know that, right? First of all,

337
00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:12,400
never heard terry lewis
talking so much.

338
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:13,800
Do you agree?

339
00:35:15,039 --> 00:35:20,719
Hall of Fame means
excellence in something, right?

340
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:22,960
It could be sports or anything.

341
00:35:23,039 --> 00:35:25,440
And even if you didn't practice sports
or you didn't follow it,

342
00:35:25,519 --> 00:35:28,400
if you don't know the songs,
when you hear about the hall of fame,

343
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,559
suddenly it means something to people.

344
00:35:30,639 --> 00:35:33,639
So we thank the Hall of Fame
that they also received us.

345
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:37,400
But I like it the most
that in sports

346
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,400
you must withdraw to enter
in the hall of fame, right?

347
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,679
I still don't see a gold watch on my wrist.

348
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:48,599
So I think we still have time
let's do some things.

349
00:35:51,119 --> 00:35:54,880
The last thing I say is
that music is divine art.

350
00:35:55,519 --> 00:35:57,880
And I say this because, if
I would ask you

351
00:35:58,280 --> 00:35:59,960
what were you doing 20 years ago

352
00:36:00,599 --> 00:36:03,199
maybe you vaguely remember something.

353
00:36:03,519 --> 00:36:07,800
But if I play you a song from now
20 years, the memories come back.

354
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,840
It is the key that opens everything.

355
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:14,719
When people say, "We have to cut
school budgets,

356
00:36:15,159 --> 00:36:16,519
Where to cut?

357
00:36:16,599 --> 00:36:19,639
We cut the music." For real?

358
00:36:20,039 --> 00:36:26,320
How do we learn the alphabet?
We don't say A, B, C... no.

359
00:36:26,639 --> 00:36:30,280
We call it... A, B, C, D, E, F, G...
what's next

360
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,440
Exact. We don't have the long version.

361
00:36:35,519 --> 00:36:37,000
We do the short version.
One edit.

362
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:42,119
Our goal is to leave the music
in a better place.

363
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,039
That's my goal and Terry's.
We are celebrating 40 years.

364
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:52,760
I did that and said 50/50.
This is our contract.

365
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,239
This contract is valid
for 40 years.

366
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,480
And next year, we celebrate 50 years
since we've been friends

367
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,639
In 1973 we met.

368
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,559
We never fought.

369
00:37:09,559 --> 00:37:12,039
We had misunderstandings, but a misunderstanding
try to solve it

370
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:13,400
an argument you try to win.

371
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:14,760
I don't want to win anything
what does he lose

372
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,840
and he feels the same
towards me.

373
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,800
So we will take this heavy prize
and we will enjoy it.

374
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,719
Thank you very much.

375
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,480
Thank you, everyone.
Rock and roll, baby!

376
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,000
To introduce Pat Benatar
and Neil Giraldo

377
00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:36,960
in Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,
Sheryl Crow.

378
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,280
Isn't that cool? Don't rejoice
that you are here?

379
00:37:45,199 --> 00:37:49,760
I was 18 when this came out
issue of Rolling Stone magazine.

380
00:37:50,599 --> 00:37:53,760
Yes, I really had. I had just finished high school

381
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,960
in my small town
Kennett of Missouri.

382
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:02,239
I was going to college
to study classical piano and singing.

383
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,199
But most of all I wanted
to be Pat Benatar.

384
00:38:10,679 --> 00:38:13,800
I had heard that Pat Benatar
had studied classical music,

385
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,000
so I wanted to do it too
this thing.

386
00:38:17,079 --> 00:38:21,920
But when I joined a band of
covers and I wanted to sing her songs,

387
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,440
I realized that Pat's voice
he had something special.

388
00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:32,599
He had a power in his voice
like no other woman.

389
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:36,519
This girl is young and tough
it was rock and roll in person

390
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:39,800
and he could handle it
in a rock band.

391
00:38:40,159 --> 00:38:42,559
Her first album,
In the Heat of the Night

392
00:38:42,639 --> 00:38:46,920
achieved many platinum records
for tracks like Heartbreaker

393
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:52,159
and I Need a Lover. But her piece,
We Live For Love,

394
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:57,760
written by her guitarist and future husband,
Neil Giraldo,

395
00:38:59,599 --> 00:39:05,400
she was the one who set them both up
on the map, reaching the Top 10.

396
00:39:06,119 --> 00:39:11,320
This was the first Top 10 hit
that they have created over the years.

397
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:14,760
In 1980, Pat and Neil
they released Crimes of Passion,

398
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:18,239
which included Hit Me with Your Best
Shot, which I butchered.

399
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:22,840
The controversial piece, but with a message
powerful, Hell Is for Children.

400
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,199
Treat Me Right and You Better Run.

401
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:34,119
Her voice and the sound she created
with Neil it was totally individual

402
00:39:34,199 --> 00:39:36,199
and easy to recognize.

403
00:39:36,679 --> 00:39:38,920
And the way that strong voice

404
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,320
coming out of such a small man
it is remarkable.

405
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,360
Pat's close partnership
with her husband, Neil Giraldo,

406
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,960
who was its producer,
guitarist and co-author

407
00:39:49,039 --> 00:39:50,840
for over 40 years,

408
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,360
created a sound that
it is impossible to replicate.

409
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,480
But one of many things
which I love about Pat and Neil

410
00:39:58,559 --> 00:40:01,719
it's the love they have
for what I do and for them.

411
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:11,760
Neil said he was comparing himself
and Pat with Johnny and June.

412
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:18,440
I understand why. Spider, as Pat calls him
to Neil, and Patricia, as Neal calls her,

413
00:40:18,519 --> 00:40:23,360
have a life where family matters,
love and music.

414
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,440
As a woman in this industry

415
00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:28,039
and as a young woman who started
to perform in clubs

416
00:40:28,119 --> 00:40:31,760
and which has withstood great challenges
along the way

417
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:37,079
Pat was an incredible example.
She exemplified true feminism.

418
00:40:38,079 --> 00:40:42,719
He knew who he was and what he deserved.
I am grateful to Pat,

419
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:48,159
because he did it to me and to many
other artists have a slightly easier path.

420
00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,280
Powered by rock-and-roll muscle
Neil's

421
00:40:51,599 --> 00:40:54,679
Pat always searched within himself

422
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:59,400
and spoke his truth through loudspeakers.

423
00:41:00,199 --> 00:41:04,880
You used to watch it when you were little
and somehow, you saw yourself.

424
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,400
He chose without fear
the homework for the pieces.

425
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,199
Songs like Love Is a Battlefield

426
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,360
they pushed the limits of what they could
represents the songs

427
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,800
and rock videos. He created
hits that said something.

428
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:20,400
Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo
they were unstoppable.

429
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,599
Both in personal life and in that
creative. They are the perfect match.

430
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,199
They are soul mates
and rock-and-roll legends.

431
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,480
Let's follow these pictures.

432
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:33,880
Feelings matter most.

433
00:41:34,679 --> 00:41:36,400
You could be the best singer
from the planet

434
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,480
if you don't feel anything
you have no value.

435
00:41:38,559 --> 00:41:42,239
I'd rather play the notes wrong
but with a lot of emotion,

436
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:43,599
than to sing well
but without emotion.

437
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,639
The first concert I ever went to
it was Pat Benatar's.

438
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,519
She is an inspiration to many people.

439
00:42:00,519 --> 00:42:03,639
She is very cool, super talented.

440
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:05,920
Her voice is unmistakable.

441
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,119
And no matter what style he sings,

442
00:42:08,639 --> 00:42:11,079
as soon as it starts
you know it's Pat Benatar.

443
00:42:17,519 --> 00:42:19,360
I have a completely different background.

444
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,679
My experience was in musical theater
and classical music.

445
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:25,840
In 1975, I gave a test for
Catch a Rising Star.

446
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,239
Great things were happening there,
much enthusiasm. Everyone was there.

447
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:34,280
Chevy Chase was there,
John Belushi, Robin Williams.

448
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,239
It was a comedy club,
but I knew they also had singers.

449
00:42:42,159 --> 00:42:44,559
That's where I met Rick Newman,
who became my manager.

450
00:42:44,639 --> 00:42:48,119
You have to have that X factor
and you have to be convincing.

451
00:42:48,199 --> 00:42:50,800
And Patti, for sure
she was convincing.

452
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,400
One night, it was Halloween,
we were all dressed up...

453
00:42:56,719 --> 00:43:00,119
It was an old sci-fi movie,
called Cat-Women of the Moon,

454
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:02,079
and they had some very cool outfits
which I always liked

455
00:43:02,159 --> 00:43:05,880
and I was wearing some black tights.
I went on stage dressed like that.

456
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,639
It didn't just change my way
in which we showed, but also the attitude.

457
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,880
I became very aggressive.
I felt very strong.

458
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,239
I didn't want to be a solo artist,

459
00:43:32,639 --> 00:43:35,360
a singer with a banal band
behind me.

460
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,199
I wanted a partner. I wanted to be
like Robert Plant and Jimmy Page

461
00:43:38,599 --> 00:43:40,719
or like Keith and Mick.

462
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,440
and Mike Chapman told me:
"I have a kid."

463
00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:47,920
Chris called me and told me
that he signed with a girl.

464
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,000
- He is looking for a partner.
- It was something instant.

465
00:43:51,079 --> 00:43:53,599
It was exactly what I was looking for.

466
00:43:53,679 --> 00:43:56,880
She got exactly what she wanted,
I got exactly what I needed.

467
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,119
It was a perfect fit.

468
00:44:05,519 --> 00:44:09,559
Neil joined the band
after I signed as a solo artist.

469
00:44:09,639 --> 00:44:13,719
If I had known him before, I wouldn't have
had never been a solo artist before,

470
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,039
because this band is not about me
it's about us.

471
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,039
I'm from Cleveland, Ohio,
and I started playing the guitar

472
00:44:24,119 --> 00:44:25,440
when I was seven years old.

473
00:44:28,519 --> 00:44:32,400
The guitar changed my life.

474
00:44:37,639 --> 00:44:39,079
It's hard to tell who's doing what,

475
00:44:39,159 --> 00:44:42,679
because me and Charlie, Roger,
we are all there

476
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,320
always telling us their opinions.

477
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,679
When you go see us in concert,
see a whole band.

478
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:55,119
She proved that women can lead
a rock band.

479
00:44:55,199 --> 00:44:58,599
We can play with loud guitars
and we can compete with the boys

480
00:44:58,679 --> 00:45:00,639
and have our own direction,

481
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,199
and that probably makes us better
to some things.

482
00:45:09,079 --> 00:45:13,199
I always think about those years
from the beginning.

483
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:17,480
I think that aggressive behavior
it was attractive to many people

484
00:45:17,559 --> 00:45:19,159
and that made him what he became.

485
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,000
- It happened quickly.
- It exploded.

486
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:29,679
Someone came and said they wanted
let this thing begin.

487
00:45:30,079 --> 00:45:32,239
We want to make some movies
for songs.

488
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:37,800
Do you want to try this?
Do you want to do this?

489
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:40,480
And we said:
"Yeah, why not? Sure."

490
00:45:44,119 --> 00:45:49,440
You Better Run was second
video broadcast by MTV.

491
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:55,199
Suddenly you were in everyone's house,
every day every night

492
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,760
Our lives have changed
and they were never the same.

493
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,719
I knew we were doomed anyway
let's be together forever

494
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,000
we might as well get married
and have children.

495
00:46:15,079 --> 00:46:17,400
And we got engaged on Valentine's Day,

496
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,920
and six days later we got married
in Hawaii and that was it.

497
00:46:31,679 --> 00:46:34,760
She is one of the pioneers who
they proved it to me

498
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,199
that I can be in a rock and roll band.

499
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,440
There are only a few legendary women
rock singers,

500
00:46:40,519 --> 00:46:42,320
and Pat is one of the biggest.

501
00:46:50,639 --> 00:46:55,039
You see their reaction and you see them
reliving the memories.

502
00:46:59,159 --> 00:47:03,559
I am grateful and happy
for how things turned out.

503
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:05,599
It was a lot of fun.

504
00:47:16,679 --> 00:47:20,800
I am very proud to say:
Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo,

505
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,599
welcome to Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.
i love you

506
00:49:41,519 --> 00:49:43,519
Thank you.

507
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,519
Please say goodbye
from Mr. Chris Ralles.

508
00:49:48,599 --> 00:49:53,039
And applaud the unique one
Myron Grombacher.

509
00:49:55,679 --> 00:49:57,679
All right, he's the one
it all started.

510
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:33,199
I just want to say one thing,
this girl can sing, no joke.

511
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:42,199
I would like to thank someone
of my heroes, Rick Derringer,

512
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,079
for giving me the opportunity.

513
00:54:44,159 --> 00:54:47,480
Yes, he gave me the chance to enter
in his band in 1978.

514
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,639
It prepared me for what was to come.

515
00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:54,559
I want to thank the director
a record label, Jeff Aldridge.

516
00:54:55,079 --> 00:54:57,639
Jeff Aldridge, in the spring of 1979,

517
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:02,199
he insisted that I meet a singer
trained in classical music,

518
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,440
from Long Island, New York,
who was looking for a partner

519
00:55:05,519 --> 00:55:08,760
to form a band. I told him:
"If it doesn't work,

520
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:14,320
can you get me a plane ticket
for Cleveland, Ohio?"

521
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:21,079
He said "of course".
I never left New York.

522
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:24,880
Everything I've ever wanted
she was a great singer

523
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,199
and we got an exceptional vocalist.

524
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:30,559
Yes, the first time I heard it
on Patricia singing,

525
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,880
I said, "God, you're safe
that you want to do this?

526
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,960
Because I wouldn't want to be me
the responsible one

527
00:55:37,039 --> 00:55:39,960
that I destroyed this beautiful voice.
I want you to know that."

528
00:55:40,039 --> 00:55:43,320
I would like to share this honor
with all the musicians

529
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:46,639
with whom I shared the stage and the studio
from the beginning

530
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:48,639
and there were enough.
I thank everyone.

531
00:55:49,119 --> 00:55:51,199
And I want to thank him
especially Patricia.

532
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:57,440
You could have chosen anyone.
You know that. I will be eternally grateful.

533
00:55:58,119 --> 00:56:01,559
Thank you for believing in me,
you trusted me

534
00:56:02,119 --> 00:56:06,400
and you listened to my musical ideas,
sometimes unorthodox.

535
00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,880
And that you were never afraid
to risk

536
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,199
What are you talking about? Yes.

537
00:56:13,519 --> 00:56:16,280
In conclusion, I am glad
and I can't wait

538
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,639
to work with the Rock Hall,
with their non-profit school programs

539
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:23,239
that hold music and artistic education
in schools. Yes.

540
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,119
One more thing. If you are stuck,

541
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,079
if you suffer emotionally or physically

542
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,159
and if you are afraid to go out
from the bedroom or you are assaulted,

543
00:56:33,639 --> 00:56:38,840
start playing an instrument, start
to dream Serious. Start dreaming.

544
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:43,559
Listen to the pioneers in time
what you work as much as you can. okay?

545
00:56:43,639 --> 00:56:47,119
Do you want to be a composer? Read
many books, read about them.

546
00:56:47,199 --> 00:56:54,119
And don't let the negative noise do it
nest in your mind Never.

547
00:56:56,679 --> 00:56:57,960
Patricia and I are honored

548
00:56:58,039 --> 00:57:03,039
to be part of the promotion
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame 2022.

549
00:57:03,119 --> 00:57:05,079
Thank you. Thank you.

550
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:12,679
Thank you all.

551
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,400
I won't bore you with my long list

552
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,480
with wonderful people we love,
who worked so hard

553
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,719
and who sacrificed so much
for us to be here.

554
00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:28,679
You know who you are. I will thank them
to our wonderful fans,

555
00:57:32,239 --> 00:57:35,480
who were with us in this
journey of 43 years.

556
00:57:35,559 --> 00:57:39,679
It was an incredible race
and we would not have succeeded without you.

557
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:44,760
I thank the families
and to our friends,

558
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,920
especially to our beautiful daughters,
Haley and Hana,

559
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,960
who generously shared their lives
and parents with the whole world

560
00:57:52,039 --> 00:57:56,119
how small they were. to our grandchildren,

561
00:57:56,199 --> 00:57:58,039
Stevie, Lola and Little Cash.

562
00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:00,719
Grandma and Grandpa love and adore you.

563
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,079
And you...

564
00:58:06,239 --> 00:58:08,440
my partner, my love...

565
00:58:09,679 --> 00:58:12,400
43 years ago,
in a studio in New York,

566
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:15,039
you could have imagined
this evening?

567
00:58:15,119 --> 00:58:16,440
Not really.

568
00:58:22,559 --> 00:58:25,519
I think we probably could have done that

569
00:58:25,599 --> 00:58:27,639
each on their own,
each in his own way

570
00:58:27,719 --> 00:58:30,800
but it wouldn't have been as much fun.

571
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,559
Thank you! Good night.

572
00:58:50,639 --> 00:58:52,920
I entered a studio

573
00:58:53,519 --> 00:58:57,920
and I ran into an Italian kid
skinny guy who was sitting at the tape recorder.

574
00:58:58,679 --> 00:59:04,320
His job was to put on the tape
and press the start button.

575
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,800
It was Jimmy Iovine. He belonged
from the landscape.

576
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:09,840
I really was part of the scenery.

577
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:15,000
Jimmy is one of those people
which were not only successful,

578
00:59:15,079 --> 00:59:19,039
but they also became better people
at the same time.

579
00:59:19,119 --> 00:59:21,599
You always felt that his purpose

580
00:59:21,679 --> 00:59:24,519
it was for the world to understand
what he saw

581
00:59:24,599 --> 00:59:27,559
Jimmy is brutally honest.

582
00:59:27,639 --> 00:59:30,440
But for his brutal honesty
you want him in the room

583
00:59:30,519 --> 00:59:33,119
Of course, everything is caused
of his low self-esteem,

584
00:59:33,199 --> 00:59:34,639
but we are all like that.

585
00:59:34,719 --> 00:59:38,119
In my case it is only one thing,
i learned

586
00:59:38,199 --> 00:59:42,800
I met a guy named Roy Cicala,
who was the head of the studio.

587
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,280
He was the chief engineer.

588
00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:48,320
I continued for the next four years
and I made six albums.

589
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:51,159
Three with John Lennon,
two with Bruce Springsteen

590
00:59:51,239 --> 00:59:52,800
and one with Patti Smith.

591
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,679
And all I know at present
about taste

592
01:00:00,079 --> 01:00:02,360
I learned during that time.

593
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:07,039
When I met him
on Jimmy Iovine,

594
01:00:07,119 --> 01:00:10,440
he taught us how to make the discussion
to appear larger

595
01:00:10,519 --> 01:00:12,400
and how important the arrangement was.

596
01:00:18,679 --> 01:00:23,400
The guy gave me my career
with a Tom Petty single.

597
01:00:24,679 --> 01:00:30,320
It just happens to you. It's like a
virus that enters the system uninvited.

598
01:00:30,679 --> 01:00:34,679
It's like he knows that
it will work for both of us.

599
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,760
I released two albums and did
a movie,

600
01:00:40,119 --> 01:00:42,880
I set off and recorded
18 concerts.

601
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,320
I think the Rattle and Hum album
it was Jimmy's last work.

602
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:52,000
I had to stop. I didn't want to anymore
to see a studio. I couldn't anymore.

603
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:57,159
He is willing to give things up
at which he was successful

604
01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:00,880
and start something else entirely.

605
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:03,079
And so Interscope was born.

606
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,440
I said, "Shit
we will do this

607
01:01:06,519 --> 01:01:08,159
How? This will be it
our first contract?

608
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:12,880
Because I don't care. We sign it.
He will show us to the world.

609
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:18,000
Primus, Helmet, 4 Non Blondes, Mark
Wahlberg we know as Marky Mark.

610
01:01:18,079 --> 01:01:20,920
2pac signed Tom Whalley.
And No Doubt...

611
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:22,480
- What's your name?
- Gwen.

612
01:01:22,559 --> 01:01:24,400
I had no idea what it was
Interscope Records.

613
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,280
I didn't know who Jimmy Iovine was
and he told me...

614
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,440
"In six years you will be a star."

615
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:32,119
Okay, first of all, who are you?

616
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:35,559
Then I found my niche and said...

617
01:01:35,639 --> 01:01:40,199
that I have to find some
good producers and I produced them.

618
01:01:42,079 --> 01:01:45,679
This is what I was looking for.
He had stage presence,

619
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:49,119
he produces his albums himself.
Trent had everything he needed.

620
01:01:49,199 --> 01:01:50,400
And he said to me: "What do you want?"

621
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:54,880
I said, "I want you to give me an advance
for an album and leave me alone."

622
01:02:00,039 --> 01:02:02,599
Dre and Suge to work on the album
The Chronic.

623
01:02:02,679 --> 01:02:05,800
I asked him: "Sir, who recorded you
this?" And he said to me: "Me."

624
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,920
I said, "Mom, this guy
will define Interscope."

625
01:02:09,239 --> 01:02:11,400
Greatness can come from anywhere.

626
01:02:12,079 --> 01:02:14,639
holy god
I'm in the Interscope office!

627
01:02:14,719 --> 01:02:18,880
Eminem was the most controversial
project in which we were involved.

628
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,679
Jimmy Iovine was that voice
from my head

629
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,599
When you take these extremes,
you take care of them

630
01:02:24,679 --> 01:02:29,599
and don't interfere with what I'm doing
the potential is unlimited.

631
01:02:29,679 --> 01:02:33,119
That's what Interscope was all about.
The accountability of those artists.

632
01:02:33,199 --> 01:02:35,519
Give up the ego completely.

633
01:02:36,079 --> 01:02:38,159
Jimmy told me that
"Give up the ego."

634
01:02:38,239 --> 01:02:40,719
Dre and I had something in common
and it wasn't the music

635
01:02:41,159 --> 01:02:42,760
it was the dream of making music.

636
01:02:43,119 --> 01:02:45,480
I said, "Okay,
this will change our lives."

637
01:02:45,559 --> 01:02:47,840
We can get out of this neighborhood
and let's do something

638
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:49,840
to make money and live
a better life.

639
01:02:50,159 --> 01:02:54,480
And I created Beats.
We created Beats Music and we got lucky.

640
01:02:56,159 --> 01:02:59,840
Jimmy is one of the
the most skilled investors.

641
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:05,880
His invention was Jimmy Iovine.
And there is only one like him.

642
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:13,239
To award Jimmy Iovine
Ahmet Ertegun Award,

643
01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:16,079
a member of Rock &amp; Roll Hall of
Fame, Bruce Springsteen.

644
01:03:28,559 --> 01:03:35,480
Welcome. In 1978, Jimmy Iovine

645
01:03:36,119 --> 01:03:42,360
was promoted from the Italian
scrawny tape changer

646
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:46,360
and press the start and stop buttons
of the tape recorder

647
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:51,199
to the lanky Italian of the console
who works at Born to Run

648
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:57,159
and Darkness on the Edge of Town.
I went to the studio,

649
01:03:57,239 --> 01:04:02,480
and John tells me: "He told me he could
to do it. He..."

650
01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:06,159
When I asked him what he was doing
this kid at the mixing console.

651
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,239
But somehow he managed.
And, with an engineer's salary,

652
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:17,079
he had parked in front of the studio
an orange Mercedes-Benz.

653
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,199
One afternoon he picks me up
with the orange Mercedes

654
01:04:21,760 --> 01:04:24,000
and takes me to Coney Island.

655
01:04:25,079 --> 01:04:27,239
On the way, say calmly...

656
01:04:27,639 --> 01:04:31,159
"Bruce, what are you doing with that piece,
Because the Night?"

657
01:04:32,719 --> 01:04:36,719
I said "What do you mean? Don't come in
in the album. It's unfinished."

658
01:04:37,639 --> 01:04:42,599
"What I mean is that if
you don't use it, give it to me?"

659
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:46,960
I asked him what he was going to do with it.

660
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:50,199
"I want to give it to him
Patti Smith to sing it."

661
01:04:50,880 --> 01:04:57,559
So I was in the Mercedes, it's a day
beautiful, I'm with my friend.

662
01:04:57,639 --> 01:05:01,960
I love Patti. It's a great chorus.
"Sure, why not?"

663
01:05:02,559 --> 01:05:06,800
Of course, with Jimmy's help,
Patti transforms Because the Night

664
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:11,679
in a Top 5 track. Yes.

665
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,480
With something I would not have succeeded
ever

666
01:05:15,559 --> 01:05:17,880
because I wouldn't have had the courage
turn it into a love song

667
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,199
as Jimmy knew
that Patti will.

668
01:05:20,679 --> 01:05:23,360
So Jimmy recognizes the good songs
and knows who can sing them.

669
01:05:24,320 --> 01:05:27,599
He has one of the best instincts
for talent.

670
01:05:27,679 --> 01:05:31,800
Absorb everything like a sponge,
as I don't know anyone else who does it.

671
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:38,239
In a room with me and Jon Landau,
Jimmy doesn't miss a thing.

672
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:43,079
Learn to trust artists,
to hire the best professionals,

673
01:05:43,159 --> 01:05:46,760
let them take over
not to be intimidated by talent.

674
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:53,119
Recognizing talent is your talent.
Jimmy is brave and smart.

675
01:05:53,199 --> 01:05:55,800
His relationship with the great Dr. Dre

676
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,639
is one of the biggest and most
valued partnerships in music.

677
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,559
He trusted Dre,
in Dre's view,

678
01:06:05,639 --> 01:06:08,800
and recognized the power
hip-hop music

679
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:11,360
and its ability to conquer a culture.

680
01:06:12,679 --> 01:06:17,360
Of course, as an entrepreneur he had Beats.

681
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:21,239
He knew that... he told me that he told Dre:
"Dude, we shouldn't play basketball,

682
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:26,440
we should make headphones." And they did.
They made millions.

683
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:32,440
Jimmy had the brains, the heart
and the soul to trust,

684
01:06:32,800 --> 01:06:37,559
to understand his artists, to put them
in the first place

685
01:06:37,639 --> 01:06:39,639
and play the music
in the right perspective.

686
01:06:39,719 --> 01:06:43,280
He is a producer
with an extraordinary vision.

687
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:48,000
Jimmy always kept his perspective
a fan. He knew how to do that.

688
01:06:48,079 --> 01:06:52,119
I still get messages from him, in which
Born to Run plays in the background.

689
01:06:52,199 --> 01:06:56,320
Jimmy knew and recognized chemistry

690
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,719
and that the relationship between John and me
was the secret formula,

691
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:03,480
not just for the magic of rock and roll,
but also for success.

692
01:07:03,559 --> 01:07:06,960
So what does Jimmy know? Jimmy knew
all that was important.

693
01:07:07,719 --> 01:07:12,119
So what I can say is that Jim
it's Rico Suave.

694
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:16,559
Congratulations, little sister.

695
01:07:16,639 --> 01:07:18,840
Come and get it.
Welcome to the Hall of Fame.

696
01:07:36,679 --> 01:07:37,760
Thank you.

697
01:07:39,679 --> 01:07:43,320
He is that older brother
who does everything better than you,

698
01:07:44,199 --> 01:07:46,039
including giving a speech.

699
01:07:46,639 --> 01:07:50,400
First of all, I want to thank them
Jon Landau and Bruce Springsteen.

700
01:07:54,039 --> 01:07:58,159
I attended the sessions for
Born to Run and he was a sound engineer there,

701
01:07:58,639 --> 01:08:01,159
but I don't know why
the sound engineer left.

702
01:08:01,239 --> 01:08:03,880
Jon looked at me and asked:
"Can you do this?"

703
01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:08,320
I would like to thank myself
that I had the courage to say yes.

704
01:08:12,199 --> 01:08:14,440
Two years later, Patti Smith

705
01:08:14,519 --> 01:08:17,359
gave me the chance to produce them
Easter album.

706
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:22,479
It made me think differently
to art

707
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:25,359
and how important it can be
to be on the other side of the window.

708
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:30,439
Then I worked with Tom Petty
and the Heartbreakers

709
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,119
at Damn the Torpedoes.

710
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:39,960
Tom told me that when you fight
for art, you must take no prisoners.

711
01:08:40,399 --> 01:08:43,119
I thank you
and i miss you so much

712
01:08:47,199 --> 01:08:48,960
Then Stevie Nicks made up her mind

713
01:08:49,039 --> 01:08:51,960
to leave one of the biggest
rock and roll bands

714
01:08:52,039 --> 01:08:56,199
and make a solo album.
A brave and risky decision.

715
01:08:58,119 --> 01:09:02,720
Thanks, Stevie, for being one
from the great voices of rock-and-roll.

716
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:09,359
Let's move the time forward and we are in 1983.
I am 30 years old now.

717
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:14,119
That's when I met Bono,
Edge, Larry and Adam.

718
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:17,600
Bono taught me

719
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,680
that you can do things in music,
but also beyond it.

720
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:25,079
He also taught me to drink vodka
with cranberry juice.

721
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,359
When I decided to establish
a record label,

722
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:33,000
I went to David Geffen and he told me:
"You can do this.

723
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:37,000
There are much dumber people in the industry
than you."

724
01:09:39,239 --> 01:09:41,479
I said, "Okay." Thank you David.

725
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:45,920
I can never repay you for those
40 years of guidance and friendship.

726
01:09:49,079 --> 01:09:55,079
In 1990, Dr. Dre changed fate
Interscope overnight.

727
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,479
Thanks, Dre, for bringing the
Snoop and Eminem in my life.

728
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,319
15 years later, Dre and me
I founded Beats by Dre.

729
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:11,840
And after the trip I went on
together, I can only say

730
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,960
that there is no better partner
than Dr. Andre Young.

731
01:10:19,079 --> 01:10:22,279
I would like to thank Mary J Blige
and Gwen Stefani.

732
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:35,479
Two very strong women
who came into our family,

733
01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:40,680
not only in music, but also in love.
I love and appreciate you.

734
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,079
When I met Liberty Ross,
he gave me love and strength

735
01:10:48,159 --> 01:10:51,399
to see life through a lens
multidimensional.

736
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,880
Liberty, thank you
that you completed me

737
01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:59,680
and that you brought Skyla
and Sonny in our lives.

738
01:11:00,399 --> 01:11:04,680
And, of course, with all my heart I want you
thanks jamie jessica jeremy

739
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,960
and Jade Iovine, for supporting your father

740
01:11:08,039 --> 01:11:11,039
and you made him feel special
from the day you were born.

741
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:13,800
You are my greatest achievements.

742
01:11:15,359 --> 01:11:17,680
My message tonight is:

743
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:21,079
Thank those who have been your mentors

744
01:11:21,159 --> 01:11:25,800
and try to do the same

745
01:11:25,880 --> 01:11:28,279
for someone else how many times
you have the opportunity.

746
01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:34,359
Because no one arrives
in such a lonely moment.

747
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,840
So to everyone who helped me

748
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:40,319
I want to thank them again
one more time.

749
01:11:57,079 --> 01:12:01,319
This is Ms. Elizabeth Cotten,

750
01:12:01,399 --> 01:12:04,520
an old friend of mine
I've known her for 20 years,

751
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:06,640
she is also a family friend

752
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:10,920
and the woman who wrote Freight Train,
Freight Train, Run So Fast.

753
01:12:21,359 --> 01:12:24,520
You have to understand that it is about
by one person.

754
01:12:25,399 --> 01:12:28,159
play bass guitar
on rhythm guitar,

755
01:12:28,239 --> 01:12:33,319
lead guitar, and sing
and in different styles,

756
01:12:33,399 --> 01:12:35,560
which are the foundation
American music.

757
01:12:48,359 --> 01:12:50,560
Let me tell you what I was doing
when i was young

758
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:54,399
I was cooking and cleaning
in people's homes

759
01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:58,079
because I didn't know what else to do,

760
01:12:58,159 --> 01:13:00,359
so this is...
my professional experience.

761
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:13,720
She is a brilliant guitarist.

762
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,600
He played the guitar with his left hand
upside down.

763
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:18,039
I love the Seeger family

764
01:13:18,119 --> 01:13:20,680
and studied with Mike and Peggy Seeger.

765
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:22,000
Mike is dead.

766
01:13:22,079 --> 01:13:24,600
She worked as a maid in their house,

767
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:26,800
and when they found out that he could sing
on the guitar, they told him...

768
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:30,640
"No, put the broom down
and go and sing."

769
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,720
And that's how he ended up holding concerts
in her last years of life.

770
01:14:08,479 --> 01:14:13,399
When he plays the banjo, you can tell
where does its rhythmicity come from,

771
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,399
namely from the picking technique.

772
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,279
My oldest brother had a banjo
and when he left for work

773
01:14:19,359 --> 01:14:23,119
I would sneak up and take it and try it
to sing to him

774
01:14:23,199 --> 01:14:25,840
I didn't know if it was granted or not.

775
01:14:26,239 --> 01:14:27,319
It was incredible.

776
01:15:01,920 --> 01:15:06,800
He plays the guitar as if
would have been born with it.

777
01:15:23,279 --> 01:15:24,880
To introduce Judas Priest,

778
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:27,800
a member Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,
Alice Cooper.

779
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:38,359
Thank you. What a beautiful room
we have here

780
01:15:38,439 --> 01:15:41,880
At every table I look at
i see a friend

781
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:46,279
And in the 18 months I couldn't
hold concerts

782
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,960
all the bands, all the artists
who i spoke to said...

783
01:15:50,039 --> 01:15:51,880
"I can't wait to get back on stage."

784
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:57,720
I don't want to hear that rock is dead.
okay? Because he didn't die.

785
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:01,760
And we will talk about one
of those bands now.

786
01:16:02,199 --> 01:16:04,920
Of course, I knew their music
before I met them.

787
01:16:05,319 --> 01:16:08,359
Everyone knew their music
and he still knows her.

788
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,880
Needless to say, this is the reason
that's why I'm here tonight.

789
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,760
Judas Priest is a band
of metal par excellence.

790
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,720
They defined what we call
heavy metal.

791
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,199
And their sound is unmistakable.

792
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:32,359
The sound produced by the two guitars
main electrics unleashed a sound

793
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:36,880
that inspired thousands of bands.

794
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,680
And what can you say about the voice
to Rob Halpern?

795
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,039
Is there any emotion that
can't express it

796
01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,319
a note he cannot touch

797
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:51,479
or one he can't hold
forever?

798
01:16:52,800 --> 01:16:56,079
He is one of the greatest soloists
from the history of heavy metal.

799
01:17:01,079 --> 01:17:03,600
And it's not just about that
about their music.

800
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:07,640
Judas Priest also defined the look
that defines heavy metal.

801
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:11,079
Black skin, metal targets,
chains, motorcycles...

802
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,479
It seems they always were
the elements

803
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,640
that define heavy metal,
but they weren't.

804
01:17:18,079 --> 01:17:20,800
Heavy metal didn't look like that
to Judas Priest.

805
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,279
They have attitude, desperation.
Look at them.

806
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:34,399
They were always unchiseled,

807
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,600
coming straight from birmingham,

808
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,840
which is kind of Detroit
of England.

809
01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:44,840
An industrial city like Detroit,

810
01:17:44,920 --> 01:17:47,560
which launched many rock bands.

811
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,760
Priest is one of the best.

812
01:17:51,319 --> 01:17:55,199
The band not only had a good sound,
but he also wrote good songs.

813
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,680
The British Steel album...

814
01:18:03,319 --> 01:18:05,800
with tracks like Living After Midnight
and Breaking the Law,

815
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,279
put them on the map.

816
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:13,000
And there was no way back
after that.

817
01:18:13,079 --> 01:18:15,760
Tens of millions of records sold
I say everything.

818
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:20,159
I collaborated on many shows
with Judas Priest over the years

819
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:23,159
and they never let me down.

820
01:18:23,239 --> 01:18:26,359
Believe me, I know how important
is to put on a show

821
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:27,840
that people don't forget.

822
01:18:32,039 --> 01:18:34,239
And the band Priest understood that.

823
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:35,960
They are electrifying on stage,

824
01:18:36,319 --> 01:18:39,439
one of the best bands
from the history of rock and roll.

825
01:18:40,159 --> 01:18:44,079
The band Priest carries the hard flag
rock and heavy metal with pride,

826
01:18:44,159 --> 01:18:48,199
for 50 years, without hesitation,
without following trends

827
01:18:48,279 --> 01:18:51,359
and without pretending to be something else
than what I am.

828
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,920
- Who did you come to see?
- Judas Priest!

829
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:31,039
Hi, I'm Rob from Judas Priest.
Would you like to?

830
01:19:38,159 --> 01:19:39,920
In the early days of Priest,

831
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:43,680
heavy metal didn't have
a specific image.

832
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:50,279
I think Rob was the first one
started wearing leather.

833
01:19:50,359 --> 01:19:54,159
I dress like this, because anyway
represents me It's a second skin.

834
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:58,079
I wrote some songs for
Hell Bent For Leather.

835
01:19:58,159 --> 01:20:00,319
And, suddenly, everything came by itself.

836
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,760
It is known that I frequent
BDSM stores.

837
01:20:16,199 --> 01:20:18,119
I always felt that motorcycles
Harley-Davidson

838
01:20:18,199 --> 01:20:20,319
fit heavy metal,

839
01:20:20,399 --> 01:20:25,760
because they are big, noisy
and it annoys some people.

840
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:38,079
In any discussion about heavy
metal appears and Judas Priest.

841
01:20:40,199 --> 01:20:43,640
They solidified the attack of the two guitars
like no one else.

842
01:20:49,920 --> 01:20:54,159
The sound of the two guitars had
an almost stereo effect.

843
01:20:59,960 --> 01:21:02,319
It's the riffs, the double attack...

844
01:21:02,399 --> 01:21:06,760
Rob Halford's voice, the best
heavy metal soloist in history.

845
01:21:10,399 --> 01:21:14,560
And he can still hit those notes,
which is incredible.

846
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,600
Because of him I love it.

847
01:21:22,199 --> 01:21:26,479
I don't know how many octaves Rob has.
I think it's about 500.

848
01:21:33,239 --> 01:21:35,000
Hold the microphone here...

849
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:41,000
and the whole scene...

850
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:47,000
- What is this?
- Yes. what is this

851
01:21:50,640 --> 01:21:52,520
Yes, it's Judas Priest.
Yes! Yes!

852
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:55,239
- It will be cool.
- Yes.

853
01:22:00,199 --> 01:22:02,800
When they released the British Steel album,
it had a logic.

854
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:04,479
On the cover was a razor blade,

855
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:06,600
because Sabbath style
it is as it is

856
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:10,399
but Priest finished him off,
so to speak.

857
01:22:15,039 --> 01:22:18,960
That's something I've never heard before
and pushed me back.

858
01:22:20,239 --> 01:22:23,479
After British Steel, the band exploded
internationally.

859
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:30,279
Not only were they pioneers, but they have
and sold 50 million records

860
01:22:30,359 --> 01:22:33,039
and they had great success on the radio
over the years.

861
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:41,600
Someone said Sabbath is heavy,

862
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:43,479
but Priest is with the metal.
I like this.

863
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,119
Priest! Priest!

864
01:22:47,119 --> 01:22:50,600
Many of the things that have become
archetypal pieces of heavy metal

865
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:53,680
were invented by the band Judas Priest.
leather, motorcycle,

866
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,760
the audacity... and we won't ask for it
sorry for that.

867
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,800
We will embrace them with both arms
clad in leather

868
01:22:59,880 --> 01:23:02,920
and riding a Harley we will set off
with the metal towards the sunset.

869
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,760
By definition, rock and roll
it should piss some people off.

870
01:23:14,319 --> 01:23:16,399
And you punch, fight back,

871
01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,840
you hang on, you scream with heavy metal.

872
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:37,159
Rob Halford, Ian Hill, Glenn Tipton,
Dave Holland, Scott Travis,

873
01:23:37,239 --> 01:23:41,760
K.K. Downing and Les Binks,
I am honored to tell you

874
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,279
welcome in
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame.

875
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:15,119
I would like to thank the band, of course,

876
01:30:15,199 --> 01:30:17,560
and our fans from all over the world.

877
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:21,119
I want to thank them

878
01:30:21,199 --> 01:30:24,439
and to the two people who are not
here this evening, my mother, Doris

879
01:30:24,520 --> 01:30:26,840
and my brother, Greg.
I know he's watching.

880
01:30:26,920 --> 01:30:33,039
Without them I would not have known
what is called rock-and-roll!

881
01:30:37,239 --> 01:30:38,760
Hello!

882
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:46,159
I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart

883
01:30:46,239 --> 01:30:48,640
to all our fans,
and the rest of the people, of course

884
01:30:49,079 --> 01:30:55,159
but especially to the fans, because they were
so many years with us

885
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:57,680
supporting the metal and the band.

886
01:30:58,079 --> 01:31:00,880
It's fantastic. Thank you, everyone.

887
01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:12,560
I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart

888
01:31:12,640 --> 01:31:15,720
Judas Priest fans all over the world.

889
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:18,720
I played in small places
from the middle of the wilderness

890
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:21,359
and 15,000 people came.

891
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:22,720
Over the years,

892
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:25,920
when other troops avoided
the term "heavy metal",

893
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:27,800
we held the flag high

894
01:31:27,880 --> 01:31:31,520
because metal is something that everyone
we in this band love.

895
01:31:32,199 --> 01:31:36,399
And we have a sincere love for
music we embrace it

896
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:39,000
and we always have and we always will
proud of heavy metal.

897
01:31:39,079 --> 01:31:42,640
Once again, thank you all
to those of you here tonight.

898
01:31:43,279 --> 01:31:45,159
Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

899
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:52,000
Hello. I will be brief.

900
01:31:52,479 --> 01:31:55,399
As you know, there are always Germans
the silent ones from the troops.

901
01:31:55,479 --> 01:31:58,319
Unless it doesn't happen
to be Keith Moon.

902
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:02,640
I am very honored to receive this
award tonight.

903
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:07,359
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame. Thank you.

904
01:32:14,199 --> 01:32:17,039
Hello. You know, you start
many years ago

905
01:32:18,039 --> 01:32:19,760
and you rebel against the institution.

906
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:23,640
You want to do it like you, you want to be different
and you try to be unique.

907
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:26,680
And you carry that with you over the years

908
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:31,119
until you realize it
that you have become the institution,

909
01:32:31,199 --> 01:32:33,119
and the people rebel
against you

910
01:32:34,399 --> 01:32:37,239
And here we are.
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame.

911
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:42,000
This is the supreme institution.

912
01:32:42,960 --> 01:32:48,560
And now I am proud and honored
to be a part of it. Thank you.

913
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:00,920
Hello. I'm the gay guy
from the band.

914
01:33:11,359 --> 01:33:13,800
See, that's what it's all about
when you say heavy metal.

915
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:18,920
We call ourselves the heavy metal community,
we welcome anyone among us,

916
01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:23,439
regardless of sexual identity,
the way you look

917
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,239
of skin color, of faith
or unbelief.

918
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:29,199
Anyone is welcome.

919
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:35,319
People outside are looking at us
a little scared.

920
01:33:35,399 --> 01:33:38,159
Please, have you seen this here tonight.

921
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:43,039
It's about power, emotion
and dedication

922
01:33:43,439 --> 01:33:44,880
and about the love for heavy metal

923
01:33:44,960 --> 01:33:47,680
which we have had for 50 years.

924
01:33:50,239 --> 01:33:53,600
Without our fans, we have nothing.
We are nothing without our fans.

925
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:56,960
So we thank everyone
from here in the hall

926
01:33:57,039 --> 01:34:01,960
and from all over the world, for
your support for what we do.

927
01:34:02,439 --> 01:34:06,520
When Priest first came here
in the 1970s

928
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:11,600
and I sang opening for
Molly Hatchet and REO Speedwagon,

929
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,119
people wondered:
"What the hell is this?"

930
01:34:15,359 --> 01:34:17,880
And 20 minutes later,
they were shaking their feet

931
01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:19,680
and they made horns with their fingers,
like all rockers.

932
01:34:20,199 --> 01:34:23,079
That's what we like to do
for 50 years

933
01:34:23,159 --> 01:34:24,800
and we would like to do it again
another 50.

934
01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:26,920
But the beauty of music is
that he lives forever.

935
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:32,560
And this is the reason why
we are here We live for heavy metal.

936
01:34:33,079 --> 01:34:36,239
We live for music and we live for
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame.

937
01:34:36,319 --> 01:34:37,520
Thank you.

938
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:50,640
I knew nothing about rap.
I saw a DJ playing music

939
01:34:50,720 --> 01:34:55,479
and was talking to some kids,
and they answered him.

940
01:34:56,760 --> 01:35:00,960
You put such a concept on a disc
and you get far.

941
01:35:04,199 --> 01:35:08,880
Early hip-hop was a machine
who needed DJs, dancers,

942
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,800
rappers. When Sylvia Robinson
said...

943
01:35:12,880 --> 01:35:14,600
"You can make an album out of this."

944
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:16,319
No one had thought of it before.

945
01:35:17,239 --> 01:35:20,920
Rap on record was something
completely revolutionary.

946
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:23,359
It took Sylvia Robinson
for that to happen.

947
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:28,760
He didn't just convince people
to put the rap on record,

948
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,479
but he also made his own group.

949
01:35:32,720 --> 01:35:35,600
I formed the band Sugarhill Gang.
They didn't know each other.

950
01:35:40,279 --> 01:35:45,039
Sylvia Robinson and the rappers captured
1979 like no other.

951
01:35:48,359 --> 01:35:50,239
That changed the game
in the case of hip-hop music.

952
01:35:50,319 --> 01:35:53,560
This disc took the record
on a whole other level.

953
01:35:54,359 --> 01:35:58,920
It wasn't about dominating the Bronx
or Manhattan. It was about the moment.

954
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:00,399
How fast can you make an album?

955
01:36:02,399 --> 01:36:06,239
He also signed with other groups,
because he felt that rap would last.

956
01:36:06,960 --> 01:36:09,760
Sugarhill Record Company
it is a family business.

957
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:12,640
Joey Robinson, Sr.
he is the president of the company.

958
01:36:12,720 --> 01:36:14,079
His wife, Sylvia Robinson,

959
01:36:14,159 --> 01:36:17,800
is one of the most respected
industry producers.

960
01:36:21,439 --> 01:36:25,399
I had the message two years before
to meet them and I told them...

961
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:27,960
"I have a piece here. If you do this,

962
01:36:28,039 --> 01:36:29,800
you will get bigger
than you ever were."

963
01:36:31,159 --> 01:36:34,039
He put a caste on us...
It was like a jungle sometimes.

964
01:36:34,119 --> 01:36:35,800
It made you wonder how you were going to hold up.

965
01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:42,880
The lyrics were somber.

966
01:36:45,199 --> 01:36:51,199
Someone was finally telling the world
how we live and what we go through.

967
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:55,359
I knew the message would work
because of the story.

968
01:36:55,680 --> 01:36:58,640
Most people live in the ghetto,
and this is the story of their life.

969
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:05,119
The concept changed the way of thinking
on record types

970
01:37:05,199 --> 01:37:08,319
which were made and of the topics addressed.

971
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:17,359
Take this music and do it
legitimate was a bold step.

972
01:37:18,079 --> 01:37:21,520
It paved the way for something
which seemed impossible.

973
01:37:23,319 --> 01:37:25,920
He knew everything, why not do everything?

974
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:31,800
We have a concept and we know it will come out
something good from it.

975
01:37:41,960 --> 01:37:45,680
To introduce Carly Simon
in Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,

976
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:47,239
Sara Bareilles.

977
01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:53,239
Like many other singer-songwriters
who followed after her,

978
01:37:53,319 --> 01:37:56,399
and I felt the strong impact
by Carly Simon

979
01:37:56,479 --> 01:37:57,800
and I became better because of her.

980
01:37:58,239 --> 01:38:02,960
Combining intelligence with sincerity
soul and vulnerability,

981
01:38:03,279 --> 01:38:06,800
Carly belted out song after song,
album after album

982
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:11,279
transcending any genre or anything
generation of storytellers.

983
01:38:12,319 --> 01:38:15,960
The elegance of her songs speaks volumes
about the complexity of emotions

984
01:38:16,039 --> 01:38:17,960
and the experiences he writes about.

985
01:38:18,039 --> 01:38:21,199
And her unique and unmistakable voice,

986
01:38:21,279 --> 01:38:24,079
an arrow of truth
call a spade a spade.

987
01:38:24,840 --> 01:38:27,399
He never followed through
fame and success.

988
01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:31,840
These came to her because of the essence
undeniable of her work.

989
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:36,920
She is a unique artist, a visionary
which remains a model,

990
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,279
a trailblazer
and an inspiration.

991
01:38:40,359 --> 01:38:42,920
Raised in a rich home
in music and literature,

992
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:46,359
Carly launched her career
with the band Simon Sisters,

993
01:38:46,439 --> 01:38:48,920
a duo formed with her sister
older, Lucy.

994
01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,000
Later he started on his own

995
01:38:52,079 --> 01:38:55,840
and quickly made an impression
with her first single,

996
01:38:55,920 --> 01:38:59,479
That's the Way I've Always Heard It
Should Be, which she co-authored.

997
01:38:59,560 --> 01:39:00,479
Exact.

998
01:39:02,079 --> 01:39:06,279
She wrote it with her collaborator and friend
Jacob Brackman.

999
01:39:07,199 --> 01:39:10,640
That song set the tone for his career
Carly's.

1000
01:39:11,039 --> 01:39:15,680
With complex music and lyrics,
explored desires

1001
01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:18,880
many women since the early 1970s,

1002
01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:22,840
questioning social norms
and attacking gender stereotypes.

1003
01:39:23,239 --> 01:39:27,319
It reflected the feminist movement
which was rising at that time.

1004
01:39:29,239 --> 01:39:33,840
This continues today.
but it didn't provide simple answers.

1005
01:39:34,399 --> 01:39:37,960
He accomplished all this
and it was a Top 10 hit.

1006
01:39:39,119 --> 01:39:42,760
List of brilliant tracks that followed
is spectacular:

1007
01:39:43,279 --> 01:39:48,399
Anticipation, Legend in Your Own
Time, You're So Vain.

1008
01:39:50,319 --> 01:39:53,199
Her biggest hit put all
the world on fire about its subject

1009
01:39:53,279 --> 01:39:59,439
for 50 years. The Right Thing
to Do, Haven't Got Time for the Pain,

1010
01:40:00,159 --> 01:40:06,119
Nobody Does It Better, You Belong
to Me, Jesse, Coming Around Again,

1011
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:13,039
Let the River Run. Diversity and
Carly's sophistication is second to none.

1012
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:17,119
Her pieces are like a great collection
of stories

1013
01:40:17,199 --> 01:40:19,359
which you keep reading

1014
01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:22,720
as they reveal
new truths every time.

1015
01:40:23,279 --> 01:40:26,119
It transcends genres
and break patterns.

1016
01:40:26,199 --> 01:40:29,319
Adored and admired by the titans
from her industry,

1017
01:40:29,399 --> 01:40:31,119
as well as by young artists

1018
01:40:31,199 --> 01:40:34,479
who seeks truth and courage
which she offers.

1019
01:40:35,119 --> 01:40:38,399
Her known stage fright
did that her shows

1020
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:40,359
to be more precious
and more convincing.

1021
01:40:41,079 --> 01:40:44,640
Carly Simon was never afraid
to reveal their personal fears

1022
01:40:44,720 --> 01:40:47,760
or make their own creative way,
in spite of them.

1023
01:40:48,359 --> 01:40:51,840
And tonight, that road
brought her here

1024
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:56,039
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.

1025
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:18,119
I was sitting on the edge of the bed
and I played the guitar.

1026
01:41:18,199 --> 01:41:22,800
And I had emotions for the future
meeting Cat Stevens.

1027
01:41:23,159 --> 01:41:24,239
I thought...

1028
01:41:24,319 --> 01:41:28,279
if i can write a play
before he rang the doorbell.

1029
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:34,159
Rather than sit with emotions,
we better create something.

1030
01:41:34,239 --> 01:41:38,000
And I finished Anticipation before
for him to arrive and ring the doorbell.

1031
01:41:42,880 --> 01:41:44,199
She writes her own songs

1032
01:41:44,279 --> 01:41:46,840
and recently won a Grammy for
Best New Artist.

1033
01:41:46,920 --> 01:41:48,800
Please give Carly Simon a round of applause.

1034
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:04,359
I was born very shy,
without the desire to be in front of anyone,

1035
01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:08,000
but paradoxically,
part of me was saying...

1036
01:42:08,359 --> 01:42:09,640
"Me, me, me."

1037
01:42:09,720 --> 01:42:11,880
You come from a family of musicians,
isn't it?

1038
01:42:11,960 --> 01:42:14,840
Yes. My sister is a singer
of opera, and with her other sister, Lucy,

1039
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:18,359
we sang together when we were
much younger.

1040
01:42:45,960 --> 01:42:47,840
As I became more famous,

1041
01:42:47,920 --> 01:42:51,039
the more difficult it seems to me
to sing in live concerts.

1042
01:42:51,119 --> 01:42:54,199
At first, no one paid
to come and see me

1043
01:42:54,279 --> 01:42:57,640
and so I didn't feel any pressure
from the public.

1044
01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:01,079
But now it's different. I feel cornered
of lights,

1045
01:43:01,159 --> 01:43:02,960
by the people who come to see me.

1046
01:43:06,359 --> 01:43:09,119
People have been wondering for a long time
what is it about

1047
01:43:09,199 --> 01:43:11,720
It's a very personal question.

1048
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,960
People want to know what you were thinking
when you wrote that song

1049
01:43:23,119 --> 01:43:24,439
When I heard You're So Vain

1050
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:26,680
I thought it was the best song
ever written

1051
01:43:26,760 --> 01:43:30,840
It is the most direct way that someone
approached a breakup.

1052
01:43:31,520 --> 01:43:32,600
It's incredible!

1053
01:43:41,319 --> 01:43:45,119
I met Mick Jagger at
a party No, it's not about him.

1054
01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:50,520
He happened to call the studio
while I was working with Harry Nilsson.

1055
01:43:50,600 --> 01:43:52,319
"Why don't you come sing with us?"

1056
01:44:06,399 --> 01:44:09,039
Mick, Harry and I sat down
behind the microphone and I sang

1057
01:44:09,119 --> 01:44:11,560
You're so vain. You probably
think this song is about you.

1058
01:44:11,640 --> 01:44:13,279
Harry was a gentleman.

1059
01:44:13,359 --> 01:44:17,159
He knew there was something between me and Nick
a chemistry as far as singing was concerned.

1060
01:44:17,239 --> 01:44:19,560
So he pulled back and said...

1061
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:22,880
"You two match very well,
only you should sing."

1062
01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:24,319
So that's how it happened.

1063
01:44:31,359 --> 01:44:34,960
You are known in the industry
as the queen of the Thracian stage.

1064
01:44:35,319 --> 01:44:36,960
Have you ever wondered why you have
so many emotions

1065
01:44:37,039 --> 01:44:38,920
and try to get rid of them?

1066
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:40,720
I couldn't get rid of them,

1067
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:43,119
but I thought a lot
what are they causing me?

1068
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:45,359
Sometimes they decreased.

1069
01:44:50,039 --> 01:44:53,520
I saw his photo on the cover
Time magazine

1070
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:56,039
and I said, "I will marry him."

1071
01:44:56,119 --> 01:44:59,000
It was nine months ago
before we go out together.

1072
01:45:14,520 --> 01:45:16,760
I'm very scattered
I'm not organized.

1073
01:45:16,840 --> 01:45:19,000
And I could only write if
I was surrounded by chaos

1074
01:45:19,079 --> 01:45:21,760
because I get my energy from that chaos

1075
01:45:21,840 --> 01:45:24,720
and I was concentrating on a certain subject.

1076
01:45:29,640 --> 01:45:31,960
And the Oscar goes to...

1077
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:37,000
Carly Simon for
Let the River Run for Working Girl.

1078
01:45:52,920 --> 01:45:55,239
Carly Simon's songs, You're so Vain,

1079
01:45:55,319 --> 01:45:58,039
That's the Way I've Always Heard
It Should Be, Anticipation...

1080
01:45:58,119 --> 01:46:02,720
She was a songwriter in the golden age
of rock-and-roll compositions.

1081
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:04,560
She was a woman who took a stand.

1082
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:18,840
Many people said...

1083
01:46:18,920 --> 01:46:20,800
"You meant a lot to me
over the years,

1084
01:46:20,880 --> 01:46:23,640
I've been listening to you since I was seven years old

1085
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:25,479
and now I named my daughter after you."

1086
01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:28,000
It's very emotional for me
that I had this effect.

1087
01:46:28,079 --> 01:46:31,199
I think it's because of the fact
that my songs are very personal.

1088
01:46:42,159 --> 01:46:44,119
Due to a personal tragedy,

1089
01:46:44,199 --> 01:46:46,920
Carly apologizes profusely for not being able to
be here tonight

1090
01:46:47,239 --> 01:46:50,520
He asked me to deliver the following message:

1091
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:58,520
"I feel humbled, shocked, proud,
underqualified

1092
01:46:59,359 --> 01:47:01,439
and grateful to all

1093
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:03,760
without which I would not be here.

1094
01:47:04,239 --> 01:47:05,880
One of the greatest things
when it comes to music

1095
01:47:05,960 --> 01:47:10,199
it is her ability to make physical art
from formless emotions,

1096
01:47:10,279 --> 01:47:13,600
like joy and pain, only
through the power of our emotions.

1097
01:47:14,399 --> 01:47:17,640
When we can't share our pain
we are extremely lonely creatures.

1098
01:47:18,399 --> 01:47:20,640
I want to thank first of all
to those from Rock andamp; Roll Hall of Fame

1099
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:21,800
because they recognized my merits

1100
01:47:21,880 --> 01:47:25,880
and because it ensures that the distinction
and achievements will always count.

1101
01:47:26,359 --> 01:47:27,279
Thank you."

1102
01:49:42,960 --> 01:49:47,199
And now, please applaud her
on Olivia Rodrigo.

1103
01:54:25,399 --> 01:54:27,439
I met Allen

1104
01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:30,800
in Walter Yetnikoff's office,

1105
01:54:30,880 --> 01:54:34,600
when we made a phenomenal deal,

1106
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:38,960
and Walter tore off Allen's shirt
from him.

1107
01:54:39,039 --> 01:54:43,840
We're not talking about the cowardly lion here,
This is Allen Grubman.

1108
01:54:43,920 --> 01:54:47,720
Until I met him, I had never met him
another lawyer,

1109
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:49,680
so I had nothing to compare it to

1110
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:53,760
apart from his character
Robert Duvall from The Godfather.

1111
01:54:53,840 --> 01:54:57,439
I didn't know what other lawyers were like
and I don't know even now.

1112
01:54:57,520 --> 01:55:03,520
"Bono, Edge, Adam, Larry,

1113
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:06,600
don't listen to me

1114
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:11,119
don't listen to me Musicians shouldn't
to have ears?

1115
01:55:11,199 --> 01:55:15,560
He knows what the stakes are,
the real stakes,

1116
01:55:15,640 --> 01:55:17,680
not just the financial ones,

1117
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:21,600
but also the emotional ones in a negotiation.

1118
01:55:21,680 --> 01:55:24,560
Allen said to me, "Friends...

1119
01:55:26,279 --> 01:55:28,199
i have friends that
I haven't even used them yet."

1120
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:30,800
His greatest talent
it's clarity.

1121
01:55:30,880 --> 01:55:32,079
It is respectful.

1122
01:55:32,159 --> 01:55:33,239
Sentimental.

1123
01:55:33,319 --> 01:55:34,479
Thorough.

1124
01:55:34,560 --> 01:55:35,720
It's like a teddy bear.

1125
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:36,960
He is a clairvoyant.

1126
01:55:37,039 --> 01:55:38,079
It's funny.

1127
01:55:38,159 --> 01:55:39,159
Loving.

1128
01:55:39,239 --> 01:55:40,239
Direct.

1129
01:55:40,319 --> 01:55:46,319
It's a pop song in a world
of instrumental music.

1130
01:55:46,399 --> 01:55:48,199
Allen was essential

1131
01:55:49,439 --> 01:55:54,680
in rebalancing the balance
in favor of the artist.

1132
01:55:55,199 --> 01:55:57,319
Although it is called the music industry,

1133
01:55:57,399 --> 01:56:02,039
industry always had the advantage.
Allen changed that.

1134
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:05,119
That's what makes him a great lawyer,
which helped many people,

1135
01:56:05,199 --> 01:56:08,600
before I sign with him, to
solve problems with contracts.

1136
01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:14,319
I am grateful to him
for everything he did.

1137
01:56:14,840 --> 01:56:17,560
He helped the band U2 grow.
Thank you.

1138
01:56:18,119 --> 01:56:21,840
The fact that I'm here
and i can thank you it's great.

1139
01:56:21,920 --> 01:56:25,239
Thank you for helping me
to survive in the industry.

1140
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:29,479
Allen, I'm glad you have this honor,

1141
01:56:29,560 --> 01:56:33,439
and the rest of the rock-and-roll world
he can kiss your ass.

1142
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:40,319
Allen, you're in Rock andamp; Roll
Hall of Fame. Holy God!

1143
01:56:41,640 --> 01:56:44,680
To award Allen Grubman
the Ahmet Ertegun award,

1144
01:56:44,760 --> 01:56:48,000
a member Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,
John Mellencamp.

1145
01:56:50,239 --> 01:56:54,920
Allen Grubman is one of the most
colorful people in our industry,

1146
01:56:55,960 --> 01:56:58,840
who is not afraid to tell the truth.

1147
01:57:00,279 --> 01:57:05,920
Often in an offensive way
and degrading,

1148
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:11,520
always told me the truth since 1982

1149
01:57:12,119 --> 01:57:14,640
when I became
one of his first customers,

1150
01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:22,159
and did the same for
countless others over the years.

1151
01:57:24,000 --> 01:57:27,279
I want to tell you one of the first
things Allen told me

1152
01:57:27,359 --> 01:57:30,640
when we were children. He said...

1153
01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:34,640
"John, look how it works
the music industry.

1154
01:57:35,640 --> 01:57:41,720
There is a big tree
on top of a hill.

1155
01:57:43,399 --> 01:57:49,079
This tree is huge and always finds
a way to survive anything

1156
01:57:49,159 --> 01:57:53,960
anything to which it is subject.

1157
01:57:54,720 --> 01:57:58,159
There are some apples in this tree.

1158
01:57:59,079 --> 01:58:04,159
There are a few apples left
in the tree

1159
01:58:05,039 --> 01:58:09,119
and which grow more and more each time
time you look at the tree.

1160
01:58:10,239 --> 01:58:13,960
But most apples,
sorry to say it

1161
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:19,000
they shrink and fall from the tree.

1162
01:58:20,199 --> 01:58:21,840
They are forgotten.

1163
01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:29,079
It is my purpose to make sure
that all those I represent

1164
01:58:31,399 --> 01:58:33,880
I don't fall out of trees."

1165
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:43,359
This apple managed to stay
in that tree

1166
01:58:45,119 --> 01:58:50,079
mostly
thanks to the lawyer, the friend

1167
01:58:51,439 --> 01:58:55,920
and my rabbi, Allen Grubman.

1168
01:59:07,079 --> 01:59:09,600
Allen is also Jewish.

1169
01:59:11,479 --> 01:59:13,800
I am an artist and a non-Jew

1170
01:59:16,199 --> 01:59:19,800
whose life was enriched

1171
01:59:20,680 --> 01:59:26,239
of friendship and association
with countless Jews.

1172
01:59:32,479 --> 01:59:38,560
Folks, I can't tell you
how important

1173
01:59:39,159 --> 01:59:42,319
is to speak, if you are an artist,

1174
01:59:44,920 --> 01:59:46,600
against antisemitism,

1175
01:59:47,079 --> 01:59:49,079
against all forms
of discrimination.

1176
01:59:51,399 --> 01:59:56,399
I'll tell you something:
silence means complicity.

1177
02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:06,720
I mean it loud and proud

1178
02:00:07,520 --> 02:00:12,600
that I stand in solidarity with Allen, his family

1179
02:00:13,720 --> 02:00:15,960
and all my Jewish friends

1180
02:00:16,520 --> 02:00:21,760
and with all the Jews in the world.

1181
02:00:21,840 --> 02:00:24,319
To hell with anti-Semitism.

1182
02:00:33,720 --> 02:00:39,159
I am proud to be here
to honor my friend

1183
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:41,319
a damn good cultivator
of apples.

1184
02:00:41,399 --> 02:00:44,920
Welcome to Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,
Mr. Allen Grubman.

1185
02:00:52,840 --> 02:00:56,199
Before giving this speech
which I will not forget...

1186
02:00:56,960 --> 02:00:58,319
never...

1187
02:01:00,520 --> 02:01:01,800
I wanted to say...

1188
02:01:02,479 --> 02:01:05,600
look how many brilliant people in the industry
entertainment we have here,

1189
02:01:05,680 --> 02:01:08,920
how many brilliant artists and how much creativity.

1190
02:01:12,199 --> 02:01:15,359
What am I going to talk about?
About the agreements concluded

1191
02:01:15,680 --> 02:01:19,880
or about the advice I gave them?
This is just nonsense.

1192
02:01:21,760 --> 02:01:27,039
I will tell you how it was born
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame.

1193
02:01:28,119 --> 02:01:33,000
It was 1983 and I got a phone call
from Ahmet Ertegun,

1194
02:01:33,079 --> 02:01:39,359
who was the most important man in
record industry. He was huge.

1195
02:01:40,359 --> 02:01:41,479
And he tells me...

1196
02:01:41,560 --> 02:01:46,000
"Allen, I want you to come to the table this week
next at the Pearl restaurant.

1197
02:01:46,079 --> 02:01:47,920
I asked him who else was coming.
And he told me...

1198
02:01:48,000 --> 02:01:54,239
Me, Jann Wenner, Seymour Stein
and you We talk when we meet."

1199
02:01:55,279 --> 02:01:56,760
The Pearl Restaurant

1200
02:01:56,840 --> 02:02:02,800
served the best ribs in the world.

1201
02:02:04,720 --> 02:02:06,520
I get there in a month

1202
02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:12,199
and the first thing I order
it's a huge portion of ribs.

1203
02:02:13,199 --> 02:02:18,720
I was eating,
and Ahmet begins to speak.

1204
02:02:19,119 --> 02:02:20,640
I only listen to him with one ear,

1205
02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:23,079
because I eat the damn things
of ribs.

1206
02:02:24,560 --> 02:02:27,960
And suddenly I hear him say...

1207
02:02:28,560 --> 02:02:30,920
"You know there's a baseball hall of fame,

1208
02:02:31,000 --> 02:02:36,039
in football and basketball.

1209
02:02:36,119 --> 02:02:40,640
but there is no Hall of Fame
for rock and roll."

1210
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:43,680
This... be very careful.

1211
02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:48,439
At that moment it was created
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame.

1212
02:02:48,520 --> 02:02:53,439
At that... at the Pearl restaurant,
while I was eating ribs.

1213
02:02:53,760 --> 02:02:54,760
And look now.

1214
02:02:58,159 --> 02:02:59,720
God, I'm trying not to cry.

1215
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:03,279
I was the luckiest man in the world.

1216
02:03:03,760 --> 02:03:09,039
He shouldn't have had this career.
I grew up in Brooklyn,

1217
02:03:09,439 --> 02:03:10,880
I went to Brooklyn Law School.

1218
02:03:11,399 --> 02:03:14,079
I should have become a lawyer
specialized in cases of negligence.

1219
02:03:17,159 --> 02:03:21,359
And I would have been a shitty lawyer,
because I hate accidents.

1220
02:03:23,439 --> 02:03:27,560
But somehow I specialized
on entertainment

1221
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:30,920
and it was wonderful for Debbie
and for me.

1222
02:03:31,000 --> 02:03:35,079
I had a wonderful life and I have
met the most interesting people.

1223
02:03:35,159 --> 02:03:37,439
We are very lucky.

1224
02:03:37,520 --> 02:03:43,840
I'm glad I broke the barriers
for lawyers.

1225
02:03:45,880 --> 02:03:47,319
I am very proud of that.

1226
02:03:47,800 --> 02:03:52,000
I hope that in the future, more lawyers,
manager and agents

1227
02:03:52,079 --> 02:03:55,239
they will enter the Hall of Fame.
I know this will happen.

1228
02:03:55,760 --> 02:04:02,640
My last words, remember
we all sing differently.

1229
02:04:03,520 --> 02:04:09,640
It's good, isn't it? Thank you.
Thank you.

1230
02:04:13,439 --> 02:04:17,079
To introduce Lionel Richie
in Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,

1231
02:04:17,159 --> 02:04:18,399
Lenny Kravitz.

1232
02:04:26,079 --> 02:04:29,399
First of all, I would like to say

1233
02:04:30,319 --> 02:04:34,119
that it is a blessing
that we can all be here today

1234
02:04:34,640 --> 02:04:37,720
to celebrate life
and music together.

1235
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:49,039
It's an honor to be here for
introduce Lionel Richie...

1236
02:04:53,720 --> 02:05:00,640
Lionel Richie in Rock &amp; Roll
Hall of Fame.

1237
02:05:02,319 --> 02:05:03,680
Scandalous!

1238
02:05:07,479 --> 02:05:09,920
I met Lionel
25 years ago

1239
02:05:11,119 --> 02:05:13,439
and since then it has been me
like an older brother.

1240
02:05:14,319 --> 02:05:16,199
Lionel and I wanted each other
to compose together

1241
02:05:16,279 --> 02:05:19,760
and so when he came to Miami,
where I lived at the time

1242
02:05:19,840 --> 02:05:24,159
he came to my house for a session.
It turned me completely upside down.

1243
02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:28,560
I was going to create with one of the
my heroes in music.

1244
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:30,600
I wanted everything to be perfect.

1245
02:05:31,239 --> 02:05:34,920
I prepared a portable studio
in the kitchen and as soon as he arrived,

1246
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:39,279
we started working. When the ideas
ours had begun to flow,

1247
02:05:40,199 --> 02:05:46,119
my 93 year old grandfather,
Albert Roker, turned on the television,

1248
02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:49,199
to watch a boxing match.

1249
02:05:52,199 --> 02:05:57,439
Just as we hit the chorus,
grandpa came back and said...

1250
02:05:58,439 --> 02:06:02,199
"Guys, you can do it
noise elsewhere?"

1251
02:06:05,680 --> 02:06:09,920
I froze. I looked at Lionel,
Lionel looked at me,

1252
02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:13,119
and then I looked at my grandfather
and i wanted to say...

1253
02:06:13,800 --> 02:06:18,720
"Grandpa, I compose
cu nenorocitul de Lionel Richie."

1254
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:27,199
Bine, în primul rând nu aş fi vorbit
niciodată cu bunicul aşa.

1255
02:06:29,000 --> 02:06:31,159
Şi în al doilea rând,
dacă aş fi făcut-o,

1256
02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:33,920
mi-ar fi tăbăcit fundul de faţă cu Lionel.

1257
02:06:36,319 --> 02:06:40,600
Atunci a intervenit Lionel
şi a spus: "Da, dle Roker,

1258
02:06:41,000 --> 02:06:43,920
nu vă mai deranjăm şi ne mutăm
în altă cameră."

1259
02:06:45,000 --> 02:06:47,239
Acesta este Lionel Richie.

1260
02:06:50,920 --> 02:06:56,319
Respectuos, cald şi,
mai presus de toate, umil.

1261
02:06:57,760 --> 02:07:03,560
A rămas acelaşi frate cu picioarele
pe pământ, din Tuskegee, Alabama.

1262
02:07:05,000 --> 02:07:07,960
În calitate de compozitor,
producător şi interpret,

1263
02:07:08,840 --> 02:07:11,600
it is at the top of the mountain
musical legends.

1264
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:18,039
In the band Commodores...

1265
02:07:22,159 --> 02:07:23,520
it was sensational.

1266
02:07:24,680 --> 02:07:27,720
Just to outdo yourself
as a solo artist.

1267
02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:34,079
His music lit up lives
of millions of fans

1268
02:07:34,560 --> 02:07:37,279
and influenced artists like me,

1269
02:07:37,600 --> 02:07:41,920
who followed him everywhere
and in a deep way.

1270
02:07:42,279 --> 02:07:45,960
Lionel's legacy is solid.

1271
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:55,920
His songs are the soundtrack of life
mine, your life, everyone's.

1272
02:07:57,840 --> 02:08:03,119
Lionel's repertoire
it is rich and diverse.

1273
02:08:04,119 --> 02:08:09,479
To list all his brilliant plays
it would last... all night.

1274
02:08:14,600 --> 02:08:15,720
I have to do it.

1275
02:08:17,880 --> 02:08:22,239
Hymn after hymn, after hymn.

1276
02:08:24,119 --> 02:08:25,720
I'm telling you the truth.

1277
02:08:27,159 --> 02:08:28,840
And with Michael Jackson,

1278
02:08:29,359 --> 02:08:33,159
Lionel composed one of the
the most monumental songs

1279
02:08:33,239 --> 02:08:37,119
from the history of music,
"We Are The World".

1280
02:08:43,399 --> 02:08:46,960
Produced by Quincy Jones, who collected
the greatest artists

1281
02:08:47,319 --> 02:08:51,279
to help fight against
famine in Africa.

1282
02:08:54,319 --> 02:09:01,239
It was an extraordinary act of love,
but of course Lionel Richie is love.

1283
02:09:02,560 --> 02:09:09,479
Love personified, love
projected on everyone.

1284
02:09:10,319 --> 02:09:17,079
Love embedded in his acts
of kindness, compassion and care.

1285
02:09:21,159 --> 02:09:23,600
There is a moment
in your creative journey

1286
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:25,800
in which you ask yourself:
"Where does that come from?"

1287
02:09:25,880 --> 02:09:29,560
Marvin Gaye was my teacher
at Motown University.

1288
02:09:29,640 --> 02:09:32,039
He said, "Man, you never know
where does it come from

1289
02:09:32,119 --> 02:09:34,600
You have to move forward
as fast as you can."

1290
02:09:34,680 --> 02:09:36,960
And I got to feel more and more
more at ease

1291
02:09:37,039 --> 02:09:41,279
from one song to another you start saying to yourself:
"Okay, I can do that."

1292
02:09:53,640 --> 02:09:57,079
We were classmates
at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama

1293
02:09:57,159 --> 02:09:59,239
and we liked to meet
and let's make music.

1294
02:09:59,319 --> 02:10:01,560
Cheers to The Commodores.

1295
02:10:09,159 --> 02:10:12,720
The best thing that ever happened to me
was to meet Thomas McClary,

1296
02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:15,239
guitarist for The Commodores.
He told me...

1297
02:10:15,319 --> 02:10:18,159
"I heard you brought your horn
at school." And I said yes.

1298
02:10:18,239 --> 02:10:20,720
He said, "It's going to be a contest
of talents, do you want to join the band?"

1299
02:10:20,800 --> 02:10:22,840
I went on stage that night

1300
02:10:22,920 --> 02:10:25,239
without realizing that my life
it will change forever.

1301
02:10:32,439 --> 02:10:36,199
Lionel Richie was a staple
in my life from the beginning

1302
02:10:36,279 --> 02:10:37,560
since we started on the road.

1303
02:10:37,640 --> 02:10:40,640
My band manager
he was a big fan of Lionel Richie

1304
02:10:40,720 --> 02:10:44,039
and made us listen to them all
the pieces taken out by him.

1305
02:10:44,600 --> 02:10:46,279
His texture and the way he sang,

1306
02:10:46,359 --> 02:10:48,199
as if it were
the greatest storyteller.

1307
02:11:01,680 --> 02:11:04,600
I wrote the song "Baby"
for the band The Commodores.

1308
02:11:04,680 --> 02:11:07,640
The first thing they told me:
"We don't want a ballad."

1309
02:11:07,720 --> 02:11:10,920
Then we get a call from
Kenny Rogers. "Do you have a piece?

1310
02:11:11,000 --> 02:11:12,880
I want one of those ballads
from which Richie sings."

1311
02:11:12,960 --> 02:11:15,640
So I changed it from "Baby"
in "Lady" and the rest is history.

1312
02:11:24,000 --> 02:11:25,279
Lionel writes songs

1313
02:11:25,359 --> 02:11:27,880
who say everything they want to say
any man

1314
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:29,479
and what every woman would want to hear.

1315
02:11:29,560 --> 02:11:33,039
He has a way of writing lyrics
that speaks to us all.

1316
02:11:40,760 --> 02:11:42,920
I just finished two productions
successful:

1317
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:46,840
"Lady" with Kenny Rogers and
"Endless Love" with Diana Ross.

1318
02:11:47,159 --> 02:11:51,800
I wasn't thinking about a solo career,
but that was the beginning of the change.

1319
02:12:03,760 --> 02:12:06,600
The Grammys are going
to "Truly", Lionel Richie.

1320
02:12:07,359 --> 02:12:09,159
Finally, I made it. Thank you.

1321
02:12:10,279 --> 02:12:11,279
When I was in The Commodores,

1322
02:12:11,359 --> 02:12:14,760
all I had to worry about was
for a track for an album.

1323
02:12:14,840 --> 02:12:16,239
Now, I have nine to worry about.

1324
02:12:16,319 --> 02:12:19,239
When I walked in the door at Motown
Records with "All Night Long"...

1325
02:12:19,319 --> 02:12:21,239
"Friends, the time has come."

1326
02:12:21,319 --> 02:12:23,239
I thought it was Berry Gordy
will fall off the chair.

1327
02:12:23,319 --> 02:12:26,279
What does Calypso have to do with Motown?

1328
02:12:29,960 --> 02:12:33,640
"All Night Long" was for me
a celebration of life.

1329
02:12:33,960 --> 02:12:36,079
I think it was a thing
responsible for Lionel

1330
02:12:36,159 --> 02:12:39,359
to show that we, as Americans
of color, we can reach anywhere.

1331
02:12:39,439 --> 02:12:40,960
It shows you that there are no limits.

1332
02:12:46,239 --> 02:12:48,560
When "All Night Long" came out
the rocket took off.

1333
02:12:49,000 --> 02:12:51,319
And immediately after that,
I was singing at the Olympics.

1334
02:12:57,640 --> 02:13:00,159
It's unbelievable how one phone
it can change your life

1335
02:13:00,239 --> 02:13:02,880
and probably can change lives
of millions of people.

1336
02:13:03,279 --> 02:13:04,600
Harry Belafonte called and said

1337
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:08,000
that it's time for us, the artists, to
let's gather and do something together.

1338
02:13:10,159 --> 02:13:12,800
I talked to Michael and decided
let's write a song

1339
02:13:12,880 --> 02:13:13,880
Quincy said…

1340
02:13:13,960 --> 02:13:16,239
"Lionel, whatever decision you make,
I will help you."

1341
02:13:16,319 --> 02:13:18,239
They all worked together.

1342
02:13:21,680 --> 02:13:23,560
The first time I got to the chorus,

1343
02:13:23,640 --> 02:13:26,960
when everyone sang together
it was divine guidance.

1344
02:13:35,399 --> 02:13:39,239
There are two sides to this whole thing.
Success is only half.

1345
02:13:39,319 --> 02:13:41,960
To survive the success
is the other half.

1346
02:13:42,319 --> 02:13:44,479
The test is to survive

1347
02:13:44,560 --> 02:13:47,600
and as long as the audience knows the lyrics,
you can have a show.

1348
02:14:03,000 --> 02:14:06,479
When you think about solo artists
who sings, composes...

1349
02:14:06,560 --> 02:14:08,840
he opened the way for all.

1350
02:14:08,920 --> 02:14:11,239
And it's probably the last
who says that.

1351
02:14:11,319 --> 02:14:13,680
But I say it for you,
you are GOAT, you are a G.

1352
02:14:13,760 --> 02:14:17,159
And you showed us what it means
be great at what you do

1353
02:14:17,239 --> 02:14:19,479
and create timeless things.

1354
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:41,439
The greatest blessing in the world

1355
02:14:41,520 --> 02:14:44,319
is to be able to do what you like.
What would I like to do?

1356
02:14:44,399 --> 02:14:46,279
I would love to do that
another 400 years.

1357
02:14:46,880 --> 02:14:48,800
I love you all!

1358
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:57,039
So in the name of love

1359
02:14:58,279 --> 02:15:01,760
I am honored to introduce
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame

1360
02:15:02,399 --> 02:15:07,640
a man with an extraordinary gift
and a magnificent humanity,

1361
02:15:07,720 --> 02:15:10,439
Mr. Lionel Richie!

1362
02:15:13,840 --> 02:15:16,680
All right, get ready.

1363
02:22:35,200 --> 02:22:36,639
God, it was...

1364
02:22:40,000 --> 02:22:44,520
It was a very interesting road

1365
02:22:46,040 --> 02:22:48,040
from Tuskegee, Alabama,

1366
02:22:50,200 --> 02:22:51,879
to Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.

1367
02:22:52,879 --> 02:22:56,280
We're probably celebrating tonight
one of the funniest things

1368
02:22:56,360 --> 02:22:59,360
the funniest jokes
of my life because...

1369
02:23:01,000 --> 02:23:04,479
all the songs I wrote
and I recorded them...

1370
02:23:05,760 --> 02:23:07,799
many people told me

1371
02:23:08,280 --> 02:23:13,040
that these pieces
they will ruin my career.

1372
02:23:14,840 --> 02:23:18,840
What the hell are you talking about?

1373
02:23:19,920 --> 02:23:24,319
For example, a group of people
he told me...

1374
02:23:24,399 --> 02:23:28,399
"Lionel, this is funk.

1375
02:23:29,200 --> 02:23:33,959
What do you do with "Three Times A Lady",
a waltz?

1376
02:23:35,520 --> 02:23:36,719
What are you doing?"

1377
02:23:37,760 --> 02:23:41,000
But it was successful. Then they told me:

1378
02:23:41,079 --> 02:23:45,479
"You can give something like
Three Times A Lady?"

1379
02:23:49,120 --> 02:23:50,840
And I gave them "Sail On".

1380
02:23:53,120 --> 02:23:58,000
Then they said: "Can you give us something else
like Sail On?"

1381
02:23:59,319 --> 02:24:03,360
And I realized that the business,

1382
02:24:03,440 --> 02:24:08,280
the real deal meant
to make copies, not something original.

1383
02:24:09,440 --> 02:24:12,719
And then I realized
that there are two types of artists.

1384
02:24:13,680 --> 02:24:17,760
Creative artists and created artists.

1385
02:24:19,399 --> 02:24:20,719
And from that moment,

1386
02:24:22,120 --> 02:24:26,360
I decided I would be part of it
from the category of creative artists.

1387
02:24:27,079 --> 02:24:28,639
So when someone tells me...

1388
02:24:29,639 --> 02:24:33,479
"God, in your place,
I wouldn't do that song."

1389
02:24:34,799 --> 02:24:36,399
that's exactly the song I'll release.

1390
02:24:37,840 --> 02:24:39,680
I go in the opposite direction.

1391
02:24:40,719 --> 02:24:44,120
Because at that time,
I had to understand that there are some people

1392
02:24:44,200 --> 02:24:47,200
who specialize in their genre.

1393
02:24:48,120 --> 02:24:51,479
But there are other people too

1394
02:24:51,559 --> 02:24:56,120
who, if you ask them to write something,
they will write

1395
02:24:57,360 --> 02:25:01,799
So tonight...
I stand on this stage

1396
02:25:01,879 --> 02:25:03,440
because I want you to understand

1397
02:25:03,520 --> 02:25:08,200
how important it is to let go
creativity to flow.

1398
02:25:09,399 --> 02:25:12,440
If you have an idea, the last thing
that you want to do

1399
02:25:12,520 --> 02:25:15,879
is to open your mouth
and say something stupid like...

1400
02:25:15,959 --> 02:25:18,399
"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

1401
02:25:18,479 --> 02:25:23,360
Especially if you are a creative artist.

1402
02:25:24,680 --> 02:25:27,239
so tonight
it is very important

1403
02:25:27,319 --> 02:25:32,680
seeing what company i'm in...
Judas Priest, Lionel Richie.

1404
02:25:39,520 --> 02:25:41,399
Presented by Lenny Kravitz.

1405
02:25:46,280 --> 02:25:47,639
I am a bad man.

1406
02:25:50,520 --> 02:25:55,879
What we see here is that
rock and roll has no color.

1407
02:25:56,840 --> 02:25:59,680
It's a feeling. It's a sensation.

1408
02:26:01,520 --> 02:26:02,719
It's a sensation.

1409
02:26:05,280 --> 02:26:07,559
And if we let that feeling free,

1410
02:26:08,559 --> 02:26:13,000
this room will grow and grow.

1411
02:26:14,280 --> 02:26:20,440
I accept this award, but I can't leave
from the stage

1412
02:26:20,520 --> 02:26:25,120
without recognizing the merits of my friends
from the band The Commodores.

1413
02:26:25,799 --> 02:26:27,719
I thank God
for The Commodores,

1414
02:26:28,559 --> 02:26:30,840
because otherwise it would not have existed
Lionel Richie.

1415
02:26:32,319 --> 02:26:37,079
They gave me the base... they gave me the foundation,

1416
02:26:38,159 --> 02:26:41,959
they helped me discover who I am.

1417
02:26:42,840 --> 02:26:47,280
But most importantly, I want to
to thank my friends

1418
02:26:47,840 --> 02:26:52,680
my family Miles, Sophie, Nicole.
To the grandchildren.

1419
02:26:53,719 --> 02:26:55,319
Lisa, my life.

1420
02:26:56,680 --> 02:27:00,319
I want to thank them for being there
next to me

1421
02:27:00,399 --> 02:27:02,200
on this magical journey
and mysterious.

1422
02:27:03,719 --> 02:27:08,000
I love this industry,
i love what i do

1423
02:27:10,360 --> 02:27:15,040
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame, thank you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

1424
02:27:22,680 --> 02:27:24,399
To introduce Eurythmics,

1425
02:27:24,479 --> 02:27:27,040
a member Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,
The Edge.

1426
02:27:32,840 --> 02:27:34,239
Good evening.

1427
02:27:38,319 --> 02:27:42,000
The sweeter the dream,
the sweeter the reality

1428
02:27:42,840 --> 02:27:45,239
and all the more bitter
is the disappointment.

1429
02:27:46,079 --> 02:27:47,760
It takes courage to dream

1430
02:27:48,799 --> 02:27:51,520
and more courage is needed
keep dreaming

1431
02:27:51,600 --> 02:27:56,760
when the inevitable disasters of life
and art seems to conspire against you.

1432
02:27:57,440 --> 02:28:01,360
That is what inspires us
to the story of the band Eurythmics

1433
02:28:01,440 --> 02:28:03,200
all of us dreamers.

1434
02:28:04,959 --> 02:28:09,520
Their dreams were forged in the furnaces
failure and faith.

1435
02:28:10,600 --> 02:28:14,120
Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart
they met in 1975

1436
02:28:15,159 --> 02:28:17,159
when there were two musicians
who were struggling.

1437
02:28:18,360 --> 02:28:22,159
They became lovers and co-founders
of the band The Tourists,

1438
02:28:22,520 --> 02:28:24,280
a band that rejoiced
of some success

1439
02:28:24,360 --> 02:28:27,280
but which disappeared dramatically in 1980.

1440
02:28:28,200 --> 02:28:33,399
This parting reflected
the end of their romantic relationship,

1441
02:28:33,479 --> 02:28:36,000
but not of their creative partnership.

1442
02:28:36,079 --> 02:28:40,360
In fact, it gave him momentum. They formed
Eurythmics later, in the same year,

1443
02:28:40,440 --> 02:28:43,440
and up to that moment they had not written
no piece together.

1444
02:28:44,159 --> 02:28:47,000
I love Annie and Dave's songs,

1445
02:28:47,079 --> 02:28:50,680
because they dare to approach

1446
02:28:50,760 --> 02:28:53,159
difficult and uncomfortable topics

1447
02:28:53,239 --> 02:28:56,959
and transform them
in great pop songs.

1448
02:28:57,040 --> 02:29:01,319
For me, the best tracks
are the extremely serious ones.

1449
02:29:02,719 --> 02:29:07,559
I feel like I need complexity
to stay involved, by contrast,

1450
02:29:07,639 --> 02:29:09,719
tension, dichotomy between lines
and music.

1451
02:29:09,799 --> 02:29:12,959
That's the kind of tension
in which Eurythmics specialized.

1452
02:29:13,639 --> 02:29:16,239
When they released In The Garden in 1981,

1453
02:29:16,319 --> 02:29:18,159
the two bravely set off on tour
in Great Britain

1454
02:29:19,079 --> 02:29:22,239
pulling a full trailer behind them on the M1
with equipment

1455
02:29:22,319 --> 02:29:24,000
which they installed themselves.

1456
02:29:24,360 --> 02:29:27,879
Dave remembers a concert
to which only four people came.

1457
02:29:29,159 --> 02:29:31,840
By the way, if you don't count the bartender,

1458
02:29:31,920 --> 02:29:36,319
there were one more than those who came
to see U2 at The Hope and Anchor,

1459
02:29:36,399 --> 02:29:37,879
two years earlier.

1460
02:29:38,959 --> 02:29:41,200
At the end of this tiring tour,

1461
02:29:41,280 --> 02:29:44,120
Annie was close
of a nervous breakdown,

1462
02:29:44,200 --> 02:29:48,399
and Dave arrived at the hospital with problems
to the lungs, or so he claims.

1463
02:29:49,600 --> 02:29:52,000
So what did Annie and Dave do
at that time?

1464
02:29:52,840 --> 02:29:57,360
they did what all great dreamers do.
They bet on their vision

1465
02:29:57,440 --> 02:30:02,760
exactly at the moment when both
they were overwhelmed by hopelessness.

1466
02:30:03,440 --> 02:30:07,319
Just when the weight of rejection
she was the most unbearable

1467
02:30:08,200 --> 02:30:10,840
Dave starts a new song.

1468
02:30:11,440 --> 02:30:15,399
A synth-bass overlay
over an electronic drum

1469
02:30:16,120 --> 02:30:19,280
using devices that barely
he had learned to use them.

1470
02:30:19,959 --> 02:30:21,719
Annie understood immediately

1471
02:30:21,799 --> 02:30:25,239
that something special was happening
and joined the keyboard

1472
02:30:25,319 --> 02:30:27,120
and added his voice.

1473
02:30:27,200 --> 02:30:33,120
In a moment of revelation, he sang...
"Sweet dreams are made of this.

1474
02:30:35,280 --> 02:30:37,159
And who am I to deny?

1475
02:30:38,399 --> 02:30:41,000
I have traveled the world and the seven seas

1476
02:30:42,200 --> 02:30:44,120
Everyone is looking for something

1477
02:30:44,959 --> 02:30:49,280
Some want to use you, some want to
to be used by you

1478
02:30:49,360 --> 02:30:53,120
Some want to abuse you,
some want to be abused by you."

1479
02:30:54,559 --> 02:30:58,120
And as in a conversation,
Dave's response was…

1480
02:30:58,200 --> 02:31:03,319
"Keep your head up. Keep going."

1481
02:31:04,319 --> 02:31:08,159
Despite the fact that Sweet Dreams
was considered a single,

1482
02:31:08,239 --> 02:31:10,920
because RCA did not believe
that he will have a future...

1483
02:31:11,639 --> 02:31:17,280
No? The play was a great success
on the radio and it was released

1484
02:31:17,719 --> 02:31:21,840
helped by one of the most
legendary videos from the MTV era.

1485
02:31:22,559 --> 02:31:25,639
And, of course, it was a resounding success
all over the world.

1486
02:31:26,440 --> 02:31:30,840
And the album became a global sensation.

1487
02:31:31,959 --> 02:31:35,879
Their dreams have become,
finally, reality.

1488
02:31:36,360 --> 02:31:39,040
Let's see the pictures.

1489
02:32:06,799 --> 02:32:08,399
We both started on different paths.

1490
02:32:08,479 --> 02:32:10,399
Annie is trained in classical music,

1491
02:32:10,479 --> 02:32:14,920
I started in a band van
when I ran away from home at 14.

1492
02:32:15,000 --> 02:32:16,440
We became a couple.

1493
02:32:16,520 --> 02:32:18,559
We were together and we wanted to do this.

1494
02:32:26,479 --> 02:32:28,799
When we broke up from the band
The Tourists,

1495
02:32:28,879 --> 02:32:31,559
our personal relationship
was destroyed

1496
02:32:31,639 --> 02:32:33,479
but we wanted to continue with the music.

1497
02:32:34,000 --> 02:32:35,319
We were never satisfied

1498
02:32:35,399 --> 02:32:39,280
of the sound they created for us
other people.

1499
02:32:45,959 --> 02:32:48,719
We decided we had to be in control
on everything I was doing.

1500
02:32:48,799 --> 02:32:49,879
We just had to prove it.

1501
02:32:49,959 --> 02:32:52,120
And the progression was fantastic.

1502
02:33:07,520 --> 02:33:10,920
From the first note you are drawn.
The song is brilliant

1503
02:33:11,399 --> 02:33:16,120
and has a minimum production.

1504
02:33:16,799 --> 02:33:20,799
We wanted to capture the emptiness
and the coldness of the Europeans,

1505
02:33:21,520 --> 02:33:25,159
but to have a little soul.
It was a manifesto.

1506
02:33:25,840 --> 02:33:29,479
It's songs like Motown
or Kraftwerk...

1507
02:33:29,559 --> 02:33:31,399
and if you compare them, you are...

1508
02:33:31,479 --> 02:33:33,680
But in the end, that was the effect
the song Sweet Dreams.

1509
02:33:38,040 --> 02:33:41,920
The way we present ourselves as a band…

1510
02:33:42,440 --> 02:33:45,079
I want to be seen as an equal
my partner

1511
02:33:45,719 --> 02:33:50,559
I didn't want to be perceived
in a sexual way.

1512
02:33:50,639 --> 02:33:54,479
I understood that we are creators
of videos and music.

1513
02:34:01,559 --> 02:34:06,200
Most videos
they were Dave's idea. He's talented.

1514
02:34:06,280 --> 02:34:10,399
And the facilities, the possibility
of fulfilling dreams...

1515
02:34:17,319 --> 02:34:19,959
... Like when Annie
he has a great idea

1516
02:34:20,040 --> 02:34:22,799
because he can do the most bizarre things
background scores.

1517
02:34:22,879 --> 02:34:23,920
And as soon as Annie starts singing it,

1518
02:34:24,000 --> 02:34:26,360
makes it sound typical Eurythmics.

1519
02:34:26,440 --> 02:34:28,639
The melody line made me cry.

1520
02:34:28,719 --> 02:34:32,799
I felt that the music was speaking directly to me.

1521
02:34:33,399 --> 02:34:35,639
Just like every other human in the universe.

1522
02:34:47,239 --> 02:34:48,879
Do you start with a riff or a measure?

1523
02:34:48,959 --> 02:34:52,239
Yes. And Annie starts singing words
that come to mind.

1524
02:35:09,719 --> 02:35:13,000
You feel connected to something
when you hear Annie Lennox sing.

1525
02:35:13,399 --> 02:35:17,399
Something deep and eternal.
It's damn cool!

1526
02:35:20,799 --> 02:35:24,120
Whether it's an emotional statement,
whether it's a political statement

1527
02:35:24,719 --> 02:35:28,040
or just say i'm happy
the piece is a statement.

1528
02:35:35,360 --> 02:35:37,840
We are a pop band, we entertain people

1529
02:35:38,200 --> 02:35:42,239
and if we're lucky, we might make them
make people feel more comfortable,

1530
02:35:42,319 --> 02:35:45,920
to be more aware of who they are,
why i feel

1531
02:35:46,000 --> 02:35:47,520
And maybe we can set a positive example.

1532
02:35:47,600 --> 02:35:49,200
Maybe I can give them an example
positive to people.

1533
02:36:00,440 --> 02:36:03,440
They changed the game
in many ways.

1534
02:36:03,520 --> 02:36:06,159
Together they are very important

1535
02:36:06,239 --> 02:36:10,000
and they have pieces that are eternal.

1536
02:36:10,079 --> 02:36:12,559
I don't know anyone else
to separate from a relationship

1537
02:36:12,639 --> 02:36:15,520
and form a partnership,
and then be successful.

1538
02:36:26,280 --> 02:36:29,159
I want to be seen
like a good soloist,

1539
02:36:29,239 --> 02:36:31,600
a good singer who writes
good pieces.

1540
02:36:31,680 --> 02:36:34,399
I'm lucky to be a part of it
from a very good group.

1541
02:36:34,479 --> 02:36:36,319
And that's what we work for.

1542
02:36:49,440 --> 02:36:53,200
It is my honor and pleasure

1543
02:36:53,280 --> 02:36:55,680
to introduce Annie Lennox
and Dave Stewart

1544
02:36:55,760 --> 02:36:59,399
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.
Here they are, Eurythmics.

1545
02:44:49,399 --> 02:44:50,840
Thank you!

1546
02:44:53,719 --> 02:44:54,799
God!

1547
02:45:04,559 --> 02:45:11,319
Thanks, The Edge. I met her
on Annie when she was 21,

1548
02:45:11,399 --> 02:45:15,600
and I 24. And like all the awardees
here tonight

1549
02:45:15,680 --> 02:45:21,799
I have had a very long journey
and sometimes even dangerous.

1550
02:45:22,600 --> 02:45:24,879
I've had glory, pain,

1551
02:45:25,600 --> 02:45:28,600
I lived on less than $20
per week

1552
02:45:28,680 --> 02:45:30,239
and I slept wherever I could.

1553
02:45:31,040 --> 02:45:33,600
By the way, these were some
of the best days.

1554
02:45:33,920 --> 02:45:37,680
Yes, that's right.

1555
02:45:39,000 --> 02:45:42,799
We fought for our art
and I didn't leave anyone

1556
02:45:42,879 --> 02:45:45,440
or any company to interfere
in our creativity.

1557
02:45:45,959 --> 02:45:47,639
It was just ours.

1558
02:45:53,280 --> 02:45:55,920
Annie and I wrote
over 120 tracks together,

1559
02:45:56,000 --> 02:45:59,840
and when we recorded those tracks,
we fixated on every note.

1560
02:46:00,399 --> 02:46:03,760
Annie meticulously corrected the lyrics

1561
02:46:03,840 --> 02:46:08,040
before recording his voice, which
it usually happened in a trial.

1562
02:46:14,520 --> 02:46:18,559
So it's an honor to stay
next to my partner

1563
02:46:18,639 --> 02:46:20,520
in this crazy project.

1564
02:46:20,600 --> 02:46:24,200
Annie, one of the best soloists
and composers of our days.

1565
02:46:32,959 --> 02:46:36,360
To be with Annie in a tiny room,
having abstract discussions with the classes

1566
02:46:36,440 --> 02:46:38,319
about what we want to do
with our art,

1567
02:46:38,760 --> 02:46:40,959
were some of the most interesting
moments of my life.

1568
02:46:41,959 --> 02:46:43,680
I saw infinite possibilities

1569
02:46:43,760 --> 02:46:46,200
and we refused to be coerced
of conventions.

1570
02:46:46,719 --> 02:46:50,719
We were led by the hands of grace
and protected by the armor of art.

1571
02:46:51,440 --> 02:46:53,520
Of course, we wouldn't have stayed here

1572
02:46:53,600 --> 02:46:56,959
without a galaxy of helpers.
music people,

1573
02:46:57,040 --> 02:47:02,280
engineers, technicians, record companies,
those who believed, radio DJ,

1574
02:47:02,360 --> 02:47:04,600
and let's not forget, of course, MTV,

1575
02:47:07,799 --> 02:47:11,280
that allowed the world to see us
art for the first time.

1576
02:47:12,200 --> 02:47:14,639
A big thank you to our fans
from all over the world

1577
02:47:19,079 --> 02:47:21,159
which to this day

1578
02:47:21,239 --> 02:47:24,239
they remained loyal to us, even though we
I haven't released an album yet,

1579
02:47:24,319 --> 02:47:26,200
I haven't even had a concert
in the last 20 years.

1580
02:47:28,520 --> 02:47:32,680
I hope our legacy
it won't just be musical,

1581
02:47:33,399 --> 02:47:36,639
but also about respect and understanding
between two people

1582
02:47:36,959 --> 02:47:39,760
who have been to the moon and back

1583
02:47:40,559 --> 02:47:42,440
and they returned safely home,

1584
02:47:42,520 --> 02:47:44,879
here, on the stage Rock andamp; Roll
Hall of Fame.

1585
02:47:45,239 --> 02:47:49,040
And you know something, Annie?
45 years later, we're still going strong.

1586
02:47:56,079 --> 02:48:02,319
Thanks Dave, it was
very nicely said. Thank you.

1587
02:48:08,600 --> 02:48:14,000
Thank you. You can relax.
Take a seat.

1588
02:48:14,680 --> 02:48:19,479
I would like to thank Edge,
who came here for us.

1589
02:48:20,000 --> 02:48:23,399
It's an honor to be featured by Edge.

1590
02:48:23,920 --> 02:48:29,079
And I would like to thank all of them
who have supported us all these years.

1591
02:48:29,159 --> 02:48:31,280
And there are a lot of people.

1592
02:48:31,360 --> 02:48:35,399
The list is like the credits at the end
The Fellowship of the Rings.

1593
02:48:35,799 --> 02:48:38,200
It's so long. It's like a trilogy.

1594
02:48:40,920 --> 02:48:44,719
But above all, you must
to thank Eurythmics fans,

1595
02:48:45,239 --> 02:48:51,520
without which we would not be here.

1596
02:48:52,680 --> 02:48:56,079
A few evenings ago,
Rock and; Roll Hall of Fame

1597
02:48:56,159 --> 02:49:00,639
invited all the nominees
at a special dinner.

1598
02:49:01,719 --> 02:49:05,479
The room was full
of soul warmth and love

1599
02:49:06,600 --> 02:49:09,399
and it was a real inspiration
and celebration

1600
02:49:09,799 --> 02:49:12,200
because music is healing,

1601
02:49:14,000 --> 02:49:16,920
build bridges, not borders.

1602
02:49:18,239 --> 02:49:23,079
We musicians are
diverse and peaceful people.

1603
02:49:23,639 --> 02:49:28,559
We spread love around the world,
not hatred and division.

1604
02:49:35,399 --> 02:49:41,399
We make people live together
moments of joy, of sadness,

1605
02:49:42,040 --> 02:49:44,280
we make them move
to feel the beauty

1606
02:49:44,639 --> 02:49:51,479
inspiration and to reflect. The music is
in our blood, in our hearts

1607
02:49:52,360 --> 02:49:55,079
and in the depths of our souls.

1608
02:49:55,840 --> 02:50:01,719
We are beyond grateful
to be part of this community.

1609
02:50:02,639 --> 02:50:05,760
Thanks Dave for this one
great adventure.

1610
02:50:05,840 --> 02:50:09,520
Thank you all.
We love you very much.

1611
02:50:22,159 --> 02:50:25,840
Sometimes, the Lord accepts his
your own perfection, close your eyes

1612
02:50:25,920 --> 02:50:28,079
and makes a man.

1613
02:50:28,920 --> 02:50:33,799
Sometimes that man understands
what is possible to do.

1614
02:50:33,879 --> 02:50:36,440
So look at him
and thank God

1615
02:50:36,520 --> 02:50:38,600
that such a man touched your lives.

1616
02:50:50,360 --> 02:50:52,000
This handsome black man,

1617
02:50:52,079 --> 02:50:54,319
which did not warm our hearts
only with music

1618
02:50:54,399 --> 02:50:56,520
but also with his way of being,

1619
02:50:56,600 --> 02:51:00,319
with the elegance with which
sing these songs.

1620
02:51:00,639 --> 02:51:03,239
And he offered them all something
to aspire to.

1621
02:51:03,600 --> 02:51:04,799
What many people don't know

1622
02:51:04,879 --> 02:51:07,120
is that the music appeared by mistake
in my life.

1623
02:51:08,639 --> 02:51:11,200
I started as a theater student.

1624
02:51:18,959 --> 02:51:22,479
The first time I sang in public
he was in a play.

1625
02:51:29,200 --> 02:51:31,840
In many nightclubs in the Village
sang people like

1626
02:51:31,920 --> 02:51:37,239
Bill Broonzy and Lead Belly. The pieces
they had an inherited sadness.

1627
02:51:37,840 --> 02:51:41,200
I felt that it should
to play my character

1628
02:51:41,280 --> 02:51:43,559
And that's how I developed this role.

1629
02:51:56,520 --> 02:52:00,959
When you hear this song...
even now in 2022

1630
02:52:01,600 --> 02:52:03,200
everybody sings this song.

1631
02:52:07,159 --> 02:52:09,440
It was a song about fighting,
about black people

1632
02:52:09,520 --> 02:52:12,239
who do the most tedious work.
I got that song

1633
02:52:12,959 --> 02:52:15,680
and I turned it into a hymn.

1634
02:52:17,879 --> 02:52:22,319
... This world record.
It is the first order

1635
02:52:22,680 --> 02:52:25,760
who sells an album
in over a million copies.

1636
02:52:30,360 --> 02:52:34,239
One of the greatest artists
of the world, Harry Belafonte.

1637
02:52:34,319 --> 02:52:35,399
Let's see it!

1638
02:52:35,479 --> 02:52:37,159
I don't understand how I follow art

1639
02:52:37,239 --> 02:52:40,000
without having a social conscience
and human.

1640
02:52:40,079 --> 02:52:41,559
I think all great artists have that.

1641
02:52:49,040 --> 02:52:53,159
There are other dimensions of me,
apart from the musical one.

1642
02:52:53,559 --> 02:52:58,719
He was telling the truth. He was able to do it
something for us

1643
02:52:59,520 --> 02:53:01,799
which he did not benefit from
only our kind

1644
02:53:01,879 --> 02:53:04,200
but the whole world

1645
02:53:04,280 --> 02:53:06,280
and continue to benefit
and in the present.

1646
02:53:06,719 --> 02:53:11,159
Peace! Peace! Peace!

1647
02:53:13,959 --> 02:53:16,200
Artists are the guardians of truth.

1648
02:53:16,600 --> 02:53:20,000
The purpose of art is not to show life
as it is

1649
02:53:20,079 --> 02:53:22,079
but as it should be.

1650
02:53:35,200 --> 02:53:36,559
To introduce Eminem,

1651
02:53:36,639 --> 02:53:39,559
a member Rock &amp; roll hall of fame,
Dr. Dre.

1652
02:53:47,040 --> 02:53:52,200
Yes, yes. When I started
to write this speech

1653
02:53:52,280 --> 02:53:58,280
I asked Eminem if he wanted to
to say something specific and he told me...

1654
02:53:58,360 --> 02:54:03,959
"First, tell them
that I have a huge penis."

1655
02:54:08,079 --> 02:54:09,239
But when he wanted to show me
how big it is

1656
02:54:09,319 --> 02:54:11,440
I was surprised he chose to use it
this finger.

1657
02:54:17,479 --> 02:54:19,399
Okay, enough of the joke.

1658
02:54:19,479 --> 02:54:23,079
20 years ago, Jimmy Iovine
he made me listen to a demo tape

1659
02:54:24,719 --> 02:54:26,520
of a guy who called himself Eminem.

1660
02:54:26,600 --> 02:54:28,879
The first thing I said
when i listened to it, it was...

1661
02:54:30,040 --> 02:54:31,760
"What the hell did he say?"

1662
02:54:35,079 --> 02:54:37,319
I liked it so much,
that I was listening to her non-stop.

1663
02:54:37,399 --> 02:54:39,719
After a few days Jimmy called me
and he told me...

1664
02:54:40,120 --> 02:54:43,040
"Dre, you know he's a white guy, right?"

1665
02:54:45,520 --> 02:54:46,760
It completely confused me.

1666
02:54:48,920 --> 02:54:50,920
It hadn't even crossed my mind.

1667
02:54:51,000 --> 02:54:55,000
But looking back, I don't know
why didn't I think of that.

1668
02:54:55,959 --> 02:54:58,719
I think because of my ignorance
since that time. I thought

1669
02:54:58,799 --> 02:55:02,520
that if he's a good rapper,
it must be black.

1670
02:55:03,079 --> 02:55:06,239
Not long after that,
we met for the first time

1671
02:55:07,000 --> 02:55:10,239
and immediately after that, we were working
at my home, in the studio.

1672
02:55:10,680 --> 02:55:15,520
At the first beat I set,
he stepped up to the microphone and said...

1673
02:55:16,040 --> 02:55:19,159
"Hi, my name is Slim Shady."

1674
02:55:27,280 --> 02:55:31,879
Boom! That was it. This was it
the beginning of what he became

1675
02:55:31,959 --> 02:55:36,680
an incredible creative collaboration.
Then came the reaction.

1676
02:55:37,079 --> 02:55:41,799
"Look at him, Dre. The guy's got eyes
blue ones. You can't sign with him."

1677
02:55:41,879 --> 02:55:44,319
While everyone around me
they had doubts

1678
02:55:44,399 --> 02:55:46,520
I knew that his talent
it is undeniable.

1679
02:55:49,479 --> 02:55:53,520
His lyrics are cruel, full of dark humor,
along with the impeccable cadence,

1680
02:55:54,280 --> 02:55:58,120
they stood out from everything I had heard
until then. And he was hungry.

1681
02:55:58,879 --> 02:56:02,760
We both were. We were two artists
in a life and death situation.

1682
02:56:03,360 --> 02:56:06,159
We were both accurate
what the other needed.

1683
02:56:06,239 --> 02:56:08,760
And I was willing to bet
whole career on it.

1684
02:56:11,799 --> 02:56:14,639
To those who did not believe in him
I was telling them...

1685
02:56:15,239 --> 02:56:18,840
"He will be the best-selling artist
of our record company."

1686
02:56:21,719 --> 02:56:23,079
I didn't know

1687
02:56:23,600 --> 02:56:26,959
that it will be one of the best sellers
artists of all times.

1688
02:56:32,079 --> 02:56:36,079
From the moment he presented himself to the world
with The Slim Shady LP,

1689
02:56:36,520 --> 02:56:38,840
reached the top of the charts

1690
02:56:38,920 --> 02:56:40,959
and he remained there for 100 weeks.

1691
02:56:41,319 --> 02:56:45,559
And you can believe that, after what
promoted violence among children

1692
02:56:45,639 --> 02:56:47,120
and killed the mother of his daughter,

1693
02:56:48,879 --> 02:56:51,360
this guy had a lot of shit left
to take from his soul?

1694
02:56:55,719 --> 02:56:57,959
Releases Marshall Mathers LP.

1695
02:57:03,079 --> 02:57:06,559
In this album, his alter ego,
Slim Shady,

1696
02:57:07,120 --> 02:57:08,479
tied me in a cage,

1697
02:57:11,079 --> 02:57:12,799
he had sex with his mother...

1698
02:57:14,600 --> 02:57:16,479
... killed the mother of his daughter
again,

1699
02:57:19,719 --> 02:57:24,000
while offending
any possible minority.

1700
02:57:26,680 --> 02:57:29,520
He certainly touched
a sensitive chord

1701
02:57:29,600 --> 02:57:33,440
and became one of the best
best-selling albums in US history.

1702
02:57:36,920 --> 02:57:38,399
But here is the genius of Eminem.

1703
02:57:38,479 --> 02:57:40,879
With an incredibly rich imagination,

1704
02:57:40,959 --> 02:57:43,559
was able to describe white America

1705
02:57:43,639 --> 02:57:45,600
and to express suffering

1706
02:57:46,959 --> 02:57:50,000
that comes from poverty and dysfunction
hopeless families.

1707
02:57:50,719 --> 02:57:53,479
Eminem brought hip-hop
America's middle class

1708
02:57:53,559 --> 02:57:56,680
and offered them to the children who looked
like him a way to connect to him.

1709
02:58:00,319 --> 02:58:02,399
Eminem was not alone
the underprivileged

1710
02:58:02,479 --> 02:58:06,120
who broke the barriers of hip-hop,
but he pulverized them.

1711
02:58:09,399 --> 02:58:12,920
Over 220 million
of albums sold.

1712
02:58:16,840 --> 02:58:19,120
13 No. 1 albums.

1713
02:58:19,200 --> 02:58:23,159
10 of them debuted in first place,

1714
02:58:23,520 --> 02:58:26,920
making him the first artist
who managed this thing.

1715
02:58:30,399 --> 02:58:32,879
He won the Grammy, Emmy awards
and Oscar

1716
02:58:33,559 --> 02:58:36,319
and was the best selling artist
in the 2000s.

1717
02:58:36,399 --> 02:58:39,200
Best selling hip-hop artist
of all time.

1718
02:58:39,719 --> 02:58:43,840
I repeat. Best selling artist
hip-hop of all time.

1719
02:58:46,440 --> 02:58:49,440
And the crazy thing is that he doesn't even care
of these things.

1720
02:58:49,520 --> 02:58:52,799
I think I care more than he does.

1721
02:58:52,879 --> 02:58:57,159
The most important thing is that he earned it
the respect of colleagues in the guild,

1722
02:58:57,239 --> 02:59:00,840
being one of the best.
Simply.

1723
02:59:01,239 --> 02:59:05,360
It seems that this modest guy with eyes
Detroit Blues

1724
02:59:05,680 --> 02:59:07,440
which was repeatedly refused

1725
02:59:08,920 --> 02:59:12,760
and who revolutionized hip-hop

1726
02:59:12,840 --> 02:59:15,360
while he forced us to face each other
with their own prejudices,

1727
02:59:15,719 --> 02:59:19,399
made the music genre better,
but also us together with him.

1728
03:00:04,200 --> 03:00:07,000
Towards the end of 1997,
I was participating in the Rap Olympics.

1729
03:00:07,079 --> 03:00:10,360
The guys from Interscope were there
and I gave them a tape.

1730
03:00:10,440 --> 03:00:13,639
Jimmy Iovine liked it
and gave it to Dre too.

1731
03:00:16,760 --> 03:00:20,680
I listened to her and thought
that I need to work with him urgently.

1732
03:00:20,760 --> 03:00:23,639
I had a studio at home
and I invited him to my place.

1733
03:00:24,000 --> 03:00:25,559
- Do you want to listen to a song of mine?
- Yes.

1734
03:00:25,639 --> 03:00:31,360
I pressed the button and after
two or three seconds,

1735
03:00:31,760 --> 03:00:34,520
he began: "Hi, my name is..."

1736
03:00:44,360 --> 03:00:48,239
I was listening to that thing and I was confused
up to the head.

1737
03:00:48,319 --> 03:00:49,840
Black people don't talk like that.

1738
03:00:50,239 --> 03:00:52,520
"Tie a rope around your penis
and jump from a tree?"

1739
03:00:59,040 --> 03:01:02,079
This guy is the biggest freak
that I have ever worked with

1740
03:01:02,399 --> 03:01:05,040
and that's why we matched.
Do you understand?

1741
03:01:05,479 --> 03:01:06,920
We thought it was cool.

1742
03:01:07,000 --> 03:01:10,200
But after listening to his album
produced by Dre,

1743
03:01:10,280 --> 03:01:11,639
we realized it's super cool.

1744
03:01:16,159 --> 03:01:21,280
Rapper Eminem's debut album
caused much controversy.

1745
03:01:21,360 --> 03:01:23,040
If you don't like it, don't buy it.

1746
03:01:23,120 --> 03:01:26,360
It was very violent, very sexist,
homophobic,

1747
03:01:26,440 --> 03:01:28,040
but that album was incredible.

1748
03:01:28,399 --> 03:01:31,280
They can't tell me I can't do it
the music i love and then...

1749
03:01:31,360 --> 03:01:37,079
I haven't had any support since I was nine.
It's ridiculous.

1750
03:01:43,799 --> 03:01:45,360
- Eminem.
- Eminem!

1751
03:01:45,440 --> 03:01:47,000
- Eminem.
- Eminem.

1752
03:01:48,719 --> 03:01:50,319
Was this supposed to happen?

1753
03:01:57,399 --> 03:02:00,680
I have to write all the time,
I have to write every day.

1754
03:02:00,760 --> 03:02:02,639
I want to write until I die.

1755
03:02:06,360 --> 03:02:11,000
If you perform a song like that,
you will be criticized.

1756
03:02:11,079 --> 03:02:15,159
But I don't care, because it seems to me
very good

1757
03:02:15,600 --> 03:02:19,000
Someone like Eminem
it has an incredible cadence.

1758
03:02:22,319 --> 03:02:25,639
It's almost like a percussion.

1759
03:02:25,719 --> 03:02:27,239
Some people have it all.

1760
03:02:39,319 --> 03:02:44,639
There is something in me that is a little happier
when i'm nervous

1761
03:03:11,959 --> 03:03:14,399
It does the job, man.
He says what he wants to say

1762
03:03:14,760 --> 03:03:17,639
and there is a fearlessness
in this kid.

1763
03:03:29,559 --> 03:03:32,319
I almost feel lucky
that he has the music.

1764
03:03:32,399 --> 03:03:37,159
He has so much on his mind that the music
it is a release for him.

1765
03:03:47,639 --> 03:03:49,719
He has a lot on his mind.

1766
03:03:49,799 --> 03:03:51,399
There's something wrong with Eminem.

1767
03:03:54,120 --> 03:03:56,079
I care the most
what i think

1768
03:03:56,479 --> 03:03:59,360
and the rest can go to hell.
I don't care.

1769
03:04:08,200 --> 03:04:11,280
Hip-hop was the thing that gave it to me
the most power when I was a child.

1770
03:04:11,760 --> 03:04:17,799
I grew up on 8 Mile, I used to wear it
headphones and I felt strong.

1771
03:04:17,879 --> 03:04:20,280
I love this art form.

1772
03:04:20,799 --> 03:04:23,440
It's the only thing that
have i ever been good

1773
03:04:46,799 --> 03:04:51,079
It's hard to reach the top
but it's even harder to maintain.

1774
03:04:51,879 --> 03:04:55,239
You have to be what you want the most
from this world.

1775
03:04:56,200 --> 03:04:57,479
Give it your all.

1776
03:05:07,719 --> 03:05:13,120
Ladies and gentlemen, it is an honor
to introduce my friend Eminem

1777
03:05:13,520 --> 03:05:16,399
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.

1778
03:05:42,719 --> 03:05:47,319
ladies and gentlemen,
you are lucky tonight.

1779
03:05:48,120 --> 03:05:54,239
You will see him
on the rap god!

1780
03:10:32,920 --> 03:10:37,440
Ladies and gentlemen, give him a round of applause
Steven Tyler.

1781
03:12:42,440 --> 03:12:44,719
Round of applause for Ed Sheeran.

1782
03:12:47,159 --> 03:12:51,559
I want to hear you all making noise!

1783
03:13:20,360 --> 03:13:23,239
Rock and; roll hall of fame,
if you are still with us

1784
03:13:23,319 --> 03:13:26,879
everyone in the industry, make noise!

1785
03:16:06,159 --> 03:16:08,200
Ladies and gentlemen, Eminem.

1786
03:16:20,520 --> 03:16:23,920
That's right, man. This thing is crazy.

1787
03:16:26,760 --> 03:16:31,399
I understand what an honor it is for me
to be here tonight

1788
03:16:31,479 --> 03:16:35,239
and what a privilege it is to do
the music i love

1789
03:16:35,760 --> 03:16:38,760
and that saved my life.

1790
03:16:41,159 --> 03:16:44,600
The man who saved my life
ladies and gentlemen, Dr. Dre.

1791
03:16:47,280 --> 03:16:51,440
He probably shouldn't have been here
tonight for several reasons.

1792
03:16:53,040 --> 03:16:54,559
One, I know I'm a rapper,

1793
03:16:56,120 --> 03:16:58,040
and this is Rock andamp; Roll Hall of Fame

1794
03:16:59,120 --> 03:17:03,200
and there are only a few of us
which have already been received.

1795
03:17:04,200 --> 03:17:05,719
But we are few.

1796
03:17:06,879 --> 03:17:12,799
Second, I was going to die
due to an overdose in 2007.

1797
03:17:12,879 --> 03:17:18,440
Hailie, cover your ears. Because
the drugs were damn delicious.

1798
03:17:20,280 --> 03:17:21,680
And things were going well

1799
03:17:21,760 --> 03:17:25,959
but I had to do it like a sheep,
I took too much.

1800
03:17:26,840 --> 03:17:29,879
Damn it! Hailie, it's okay.

1801
03:17:32,600 --> 03:17:35,719
I had many musical influences.

1802
03:17:36,040 --> 03:17:38,159
They say it takes a village
to raise a child

1803
03:17:39,120 --> 03:17:43,440
a musical genre was needed and
a culture to raise me.

1804
03:17:45,760 --> 03:17:51,239
They say that success has many fathers
and that certainly applies to me.

1805
03:17:52,159 --> 03:17:55,799
So any impact I would have had
on hip-hop music,

1806
03:17:56,440 --> 03:17:59,200
I wouldn't have succeeded

1807
03:17:59,520 --> 03:18:01,200

Wu-Tang Clan and YZ.

1878
03:21:35,159 --> 03:21:36,840
These are the people
who inspired me

1879
03:21:36,920 --> 03:21:41,200
and I mean that these
there are only a few names

1880
03:21:41,799 --> 03:21:47,239
which I hope will be considered
for the Hall of Fame,

1881
03:21:47,319 --> 03:21:51,159
because without them, many of us
we wouldn't have been here.

1882
03:21:51,239 --> 03:21:54,360
I wouldn't have been. I am a man who
dropped out of high school

1883
03:21:54,440 --> 03:21:57,719
with an education in hip-hop,
and these are my teachers

1884
03:21:58,879 --> 03:22:03,680
and it is their evening as it is
and mine. Thank you.

1885
03:25:26,079 --> 03:25:28,920
How about Taylor Hawkins
to the drums?

1886
03:26:11,159 --> 03:26:13,079
I was very active on stage.
I had to be

1887
03:26:13,159 --> 03:26:15,799
and the competition was tough,
so I had to do something.

1888
03:26:15,879 --> 03:26:19,000
So I kick my piano and...

1889
03:26:24,360 --> 03:26:28,079
I really like to play the piano,
i love to sing

1890
03:26:30,360 --> 03:26:34,520
And I will do it until
God will call me home.

1891
03:26:35,360 --> 03:26:40,680
Thank you.

1892
03:29:44,719 --> 03:29:46,159
Let's let it go!

1893
03:29:54,879 --> 03:29:56,520
The Zac Brown Band.

1894
03:30:03,040 --> 03:30:07,799
To introduce Dolly Parton
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame, Pink.

1895
03:30:14,079 --> 03:30:16,280
Hello. Thank you.

1896
03:30:19,520 --> 03:30:22,639
This is... one of the
the most magical evenings

1897
03:30:22,719 --> 03:30:28,280
which I have witnessed since I am
in music.

1898
03:30:28,360 --> 03:30:31,520
Honestly, I'm... backstabbed.

1899
03:30:31,600 --> 03:30:36,120
I'll start. Dolly Parton.

1900
03:30:43,479 --> 03:30:48,920
There are few composers
better than her.

1901
03:30:53,799 --> 03:30:56,680
He grew up in a two-room house,
no running water.

1902
03:30:57,760 --> 03:31:02,040
It became one of the best
storytellers of our days.

1903
03:31:04,440 --> 03:31:05,760
Any day.

1904
03:31:08,559 --> 03:31:11,040
When it started
on the Porter Wagoner Show,

1905
03:31:11,120 --> 03:31:13,559
she knew she wouldn't be anyone's assistant.

1906
03:31:14,319 --> 03:31:16,600
He knew it was a shooting star

1907
03:31:16,680 --> 03:31:19,040
and that he had to get some things
from the soul.

1908
03:31:20,120 --> 03:31:26,520
So he wrote heartbreaking stories

1909
03:31:26,600 --> 03:31:28,840
about people's lives
often overlooked.

1910
03:31:29,760 --> 03:31:34,559
She painted a picture with her words
and colored it with her angelic voice.

1911
03:31:35,000 --> 03:31:38,879
He plays the guitar with long fingernails

1912
03:31:40,239 --> 03:31:41,920
and he never misses a note.

1913
03:31:44,079 --> 03:31:47,399
Write about things that others prefer
to put them under the rug.

1914
03:31:47,719 --> 03:31:49,440
It gives a voice to those
who cannot speak.

1915
03:31:50,399 --> 03:31:51,719
For me, her pieces

1916
03:31:51,799 --> 03:31:58,360
I'm a painful comment, beautiful
poetic and melodic

1917
03:31:58,440 --> 03:32:00,040
about what it means to be human

1918
03:32:00,639 --> 03:32:03,360
and what it means to be a woman in America.

1919
03:32:09,319 --> 03:32:12,520
Write about poverty, shame,
the cruelty of aggression

1920
03:32:12,959 --> 03:32:16,639
and about unwavering love
of a daughter for her mother

1921
03:32:16,719 --> 03:32:21,719
in Coat of Many Colors. Write
about suicide in The Bridge.

1922
03:32:21,799 --> 03:32:23,799
He writes about agony and pain

1923
03:32:23,879 --> 03:32:26,879
the birth of a stillborn child
in Down from Dover.

1924
03:32:27,639 --> 03:32:30,600
He soothes us in that loving tone

1925
03:32:30,680 --> 03:32:34,879
that he sees the light of a clear morning
and that we will all be fine.

1926
03:32:38,559 --> 03:32:40,639
Write about women in the workplace.

1927
03:32:47,399 --> 03:32:52,600
He sings our pains and gives us words
when we can't find them.

1928
03:32:53,280 --> 03:32:57,520
It makes you feel that God is helping
and that help is near.

1929
03:33:00,200 --> 03:33:06,280
Dolly Parton wrote the song best
sold by an artist

1930
03:33:06,360 --> 03:33:08,600
of all time
I Will Always Love You.

1931
03:33:13,159 --> 03:33:17,079
It seems that the muse of genius has not left her
after creating this masterpiece,

1932
03:33:17,159 --> 03:33:19,559
because that same evening
Jolene wrote.

1933
03:33:22,319 --> 03:33:23,239
Show off.

1934
03:33:25,000 --> 03:33:30,479
Dolly Parton is the most awarded
country artist of all time.

1935
03:33:35,319 --> 03:33:41,079
He had 26 first-place plays
on the country charts,

1936
03:33:42,399 --> 03:33:44,319
which is a record
for an artist.

1937
03:33:44,399 --> 03:33:49,559
He has 42 Top 10 country albums,
a record for any artist,

1938
03:33:50,159 --> 03:33:54,840
and 110 singles that reached
in the charts for the last 40 years.

1939
03:33:58,000 --> 03:34:01,440
He is also a kind soul
and generous.

1940
03:34:01,840 --> 03:34:04,920
He established the library
Dolly Parton Imagination

1941
03:34:05,000 --> 03:34:06,120
and since then...

1942
03:34:09,280 --> 03:34:14,879
offered over 150 million books
children all over the world.

1943
03:34:18,840 --> 03:34:22,760
It offered scholarships and educational incentives

1944
03:34:22,840 --> 03:34:25,719
for children to finish high school.
I would have needed one too.

1945
03:34:27,079 --> 03:34:31,559
We could talk about her compositions

1946
03:34:31,639 --> 03:34:35,920
and about how he has a machete with a chariot
made his own way in life,

1947
03:34:37,200 --> 03:34:40,479
but we better talk about the legend
which he created.

1948
03:34:41,200 --> 03:34:42,639
I'm using a stereotype here,

1949
03:34:42,719 --> 03:34:44,680
but I imagine all men
who looks at Dolly Parton

1950
03:34:44,760 --> 03:34:48,479
and I wonder how many are really watching
in your eyes

1951
03:34:51,040 --> 03:34:52,600
And most women
he looked at Dolly

1952
03:34:52,680 --> 03:34:56,600
and I see his soul and heart.

1953
03:34:59,200 --> 03:35:04,000
I think the way Dolly sees herself
it's the best part.

1954
03:35:04,520 --> 03:35:08,040
Not only did Dolly get the joke,
but he wrote it.

1955
03:35:08,120 --> 03:35:10,239
And he doesn't care if you laugh,
as long as you understand.

1956
03:35:11,479 --> 03:35:16,680
She always said, "I have this hairstyle
and I wear these expensive clothes

1957
03:35:16,760 --> 03:35:19,120
and all this makeup to be sure
that everyone sees me."

1958
03:35:19,200 --> 03:35:21,840
She also said,
and it's my favorite phrase:

1959
03:35:21,920 --> 03:35:23,760
"A lot of money is needed
to look so cheap."

1960
03:35:28,760 --> 03:35:34,079
He proved it once again
that she is the only author of her story.

1961
03:35:34,479 --> 03:35:37,440
And what an incredible story
you wrote, Dolly Parton.

1962
03:35:48,680 --> 03:35:53,200
Nobody's like Dolly. He treats himself
biggest fan

1963
03:35:53,280 --> 03:35:55,879
just as he would treat himself
the biggest enemy.

1964
03:35:55,959 --> 03:36:00,200
She was a role model for me both as a soloist,
as well as as a man.

1965
03:36:00,280 --> 03:36:01,719
It is goodness incarnate.

1966
03:36:03,120 --> 03:36:04,440
Miss Dolly Parton.

1967
03:36:12,319 --> 03:36:14,840
A beautiful young lady,
who was with us on tour

1968
03:36:14,920 --> 03:36:19,600
in the northern United States,
Miss Dolly Parton.

1969
03:36:20,520 --> 03:36:22,920
Porter Wagoner. That's how I started.

1970
03:36:23,000 --> 03:36:26,520
But I wanted to go on my own.
I am a writer

1971
03:36:26,600 --> 03:36:29,120
I'm a singer, I don't want to be part of it
always from a duet.

1972
03:36:29,200 --> 03:36:30,280
i want to be a star

1973
03:36:39,319 --> 03:36:41,600
My parents were simple people
from the mountain.

1974
03:36:42,000 --> 03:36:44,959
When I first climbed
on a stage

1975
03:36:45,040 --> 03:36:48,479
and I sang in front of an audience,
I realized

1976
03:36:48,559 --> 03:36:51,120
that's what I wanted to do
for the rest of his life.

1977
03:37:02,959 --> 03:37:07,719
It's probably in her mountaineer DNA
to know how to tell a story so well.

1978
03:37:07,799 --> 03:37:09,440
He has humor, he has soul.

1979
03:37:09,520 --> 03:37:13,879
Always talk about trials
and the problems of life

1980
03:37:13,959 --> 03:37:15,280
and you can relate to them.

1981
03:37:15,360 --> 03:37:17,520
I had all the important things
in life

1982
03:37:17,600 --> 03:37:20,440
a good mother and father,
understanding and kindness,

1983
03:37:20,760 --> 03:37:24,200
love, faith in God,
and gratitude for nature.

1984
03:37:33,760 --> 03:37:36,280
Ladies and gentlemen, Dolly Parton.

1985
03:37:40,559 --> 03:37:43,000
Dolly with the cotton candy hair

1986
03:37:43,079 --> 03:37:44,959
don't leave your country fans,

1987
03:37:45,040 --> 03:37:47,520
but he wants a larger audience.

1988
03:37:47,600 --> 03:37:50,479
And that's why he has to call
to pop and rock audiences.

1989
03:37:57,760 --> 03:38:00,120
I love Nashville. I love country style.

1990
03:38:00,200 --> 03:38:03,639
I said I ain't ditching the country style,
I take it with me everywhere.

1991
03:38:03,719 --> 03:38:05,840
- What is the reason for the visit?
- I'm a singer.

1992
03:38:05,920 --> 03:38:08,239
- And what do you do?
- I sing.

1993
03:38:09,319 --> 03:38:12,399
Dolly is very captivating
and he looks like a star.

1994
03:38:12,479 --> 03:38:14,760
You know, the jewels, the colors, the rhinestones...

1995
03:38:14,840 --> 03:38:18,879
When she talks, she's like your girlfriend
next door.

1996
03:38:18,959 --> 03:38:21,600
When I started wearing makeup
and bleach my hair

1997
03:38:21,680 --> 03:38:24,200
my grandfather believed
that I will go straight to hell.

1998
03:38:24,280 --> 03:38:27,760
He said to me: "Jezebel, the devil
made you wear that."

1999
03:38:35,440 --> 03:38:37,200
You probably feel sexy.

2000
03:38:37,280 --> 03:38:40,559
I don't consider myself sexy, but I was
always a special aspect.

2001
03:38:40,639 --> 03:38:44,159
I always liked having long hair
and put on gaudy make-up,

2002
03:38:44,239 --> 03:38:45,840
like a prostitute, you know how it is.

2003
03:38:45,920 --> 03:38:46,959
Yes.

2004
03:38:47,040 --> 03:38:50,159
People can't miss me
with this striking appearance

2005
03:38:50,239 --> 03:38:53,040
and that's why I arrange myself like this.
I don't want anyone to miss me.

2006
03:38:53,360 --> 03:38:56,280
Her cuteness and love, her energy
they are very pleasant.

2007
03:38:56,360 --> 03:38:59,840
No matter how many transformations,
wigs, breasts,

2008
03:38:59,920 --> 03:39:04,159
whatever he does, he remains the same face
and it's the same face

2009
03:39:04,239 --> 03:39:06,159
full of love, compassion
and care for other people.

2010
03:39:15,079 --> 03:39:17,440
I think whoever writes such songs

2011
03:39:17,879 --> 03:39:20,360
she has the makings of an actress.

2012
03:39:20,440 --> 03:39:23,319
I will turn you into a rooster
in the hen from a trial.

2013
03:39:23,399 --> 03:39:27,159
I wrote the piece, I presented it to them
and they liked it.

2014
03:39:27,239 --> 03:39:31,200
I take composition more seriously
than anything else i do.

2015
03:39:31,280 --> 03:39:33,200
She is a composer.
He writes great music,

2016
03:39:33,280 --> 03:39:34,600
he has an incredible voice

2017
03:39:34,680 --> 03:39:39,360
and uses his sexuality
to have the whole package.

2018
03:39:39,440 --> 03:39:42,120
I started with Porter in 1966
and so I launched myself.

2019
03:39:42,200 --> 03:39:45,959
I sang in many duets.
I sang with Kenny Rogers,

2020
03:39:46,280 --> 03:39:48,280
one of the most decent
people of the world.

2021
03:40:06,159 --> 03:40:09,399
Dolly, from day one, said
without apologizing...

2022
03:40:09,479 --> 03:40:14,840
"This is how I dress, this is how I sing, this is how I write,
these are the people I support."

2023
03:40:14,920 --> 03:40:18,280
And he does it in a very beautiful way,
and that's what rock and roll means.

2024
03:40:33,200 --> 03:40:36,440
I don't regret anything, I never ask for it
sorry for trying

2025
03:40:36,959 --> 03:40:39,200
And when I'm old
and I will sit in my armchair,

2026
03:40:39,280 --> 03:40:41,479
I prefer to regret things
which we did

2027
03:40:41,559 --> 03:40:43,879
than the ones I didn't do.

2028
03:41:26,120 --> 03:41:30,000
Dolly you are wonderful
you bring people together

2029
03:41:30,079 --> 03:41:32,760
and you bring a lot of light
and joy in the world.

2030
03:41:33,280 --> 03:41:37,120
We love you very much
and I am more than honored

2031
03:41:37,600 --> 03:41:42,959
and it is my pleasure to introduce you
in Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame.

2032
03:42:00,760 --> 03:42:04,760
Thank you, Pink.
I'm a rock star now!

2033
03:42:07,399 --> 03:42:13,959
This is a very special evening
for me

2034
03:42:14,040 --> 03:42:17,239
I'm sure many of you know
that when they said

2035
03:42:17,319 --> 03:42:20,360
that they will receive me in
Rock and; roll hall of fame,

2036
03:42:20,440 --> 03:42:24,200
I felt that I had not done enough
to deserve it.

2037
03:42:24,879 --> 03:42:27,760
I didn't understand at that time

2038
03:42:28,239 --> 03:42:30,319
that there is something more than that,

2039
03:42:30,760 --> 03:42:33,319
but I am honored and proud

2040
03:42:33,399 --> 03:42:37,399
to be here tonight
and thank you all.

2041
03:42:38,319 --> 03:42:42,639
But I think the most
I feel honored to be here

2042
03:42:43,479 --> 03:42:47,000
alongside such greatness
and so many talents.

2043
03:42:47,079 --> 03:42:49,920
I always believed
that Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame

2044
03:42:50,000 --> 03:42:53,479
it's for rock and roll people.

2045
03:42:55,079 --> 03:42:58,959
I thought that if I arrive
in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame,

2046
03:42:59,280 --> 03:43:01,760
I will have to release a rock album.

2047
03:43:02,440 --> 03:43:09,360
My husband, to whom I am married
for 56 years, it is a great rock background

2048
03:43:10,200 --> 03:43:15,360
and in the whole house there is music
at maximum all the time.

2049
03:43:15,440 --> 03:43:17,879
He always told me, "You should pitch
a rock album."

2050
03:43:17,959 --> 03:43:21,040
I wrote a song for tonight

2051
03:43:21,120 --> 03:43:22,799
which I will sing soon, but…

2052
03:43:24,799 --> 03:43:28,079
It kind of tells my story.

2053
03:43:28,159 --> 03:43:32,280
But I want to thank them
to the Hall of Famers,

2054
03:43:32,360 --> 03:43:34,600
I want to thank them
to all people

2055
03:43:34,680 --> 03:43:36,000
who were with me
over the years.

2056
03:43:36,079 --> 03:43:38,280
I started singing
when i was ten years old

2057
03:43:38,360 --> 03:43:40,440
on local radio stations
and television,

2058
03:43:40,520 --> 03:43:42,639
and I have done this all my life.

2059
03:43:42,719 --> 03:43:46,719
I love it like crazy and I'm proud
that so many of you

2060
03:43:46,799 --> 03:43:50,600
you played my songs
and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

2061
03:43:50,680 --> 03:43:51,959
I feel very humbled.

2062
03:43:52,040 --> 03:43:54,879
I know there are also a lot of fans here
tonight.

2063
03:43:55,239 --> 03:44:00,399
Country music fans and more.
It's an honor to be a part of it

2064
03:44:00,479 --> 03:44:02,680
and to have all these friends here

2065
03:44:02,760 --> 03:44:04,959
who enters the Hall of Fame
with me

2066
03:44:05,280 --> 03:44:09,680
It's an honor to be here,
as Minnie Pearl would say.

2067
03:44:09,760 --> 03:44:11,200
thank you

2068
03:44:16,239 --> 03:44:21,280
And now, with me on stage
it's Brandi Carlile and the Zac Brown Band.

2069
03:47:33,239 --> 03:47:37,520
Please applaud Sheryl Crow
and Zac Brown.

2070
03:49:47,840 --> 03:49:51,959
And now, member Rock andamp; Roll
Hall of Fame, Dolly Parton.

2071
03:49:56,200 --> 03:50:01,719
I thought if everything
are Rock andamp; roll hall of fame,

2072
03:50:02,239 --> 03:50:04,280
I have to deserve it.

2073
03:50:14,000 --> 03:50:16,760
And you thought I couldn't sing rock?

2074
03:50:18,920 --> 03:50:21,319
One, two, three, four!

2075
03:53:21,600 --> 03:53:27,319
Thank you!
I think it was something else, right?

2076
03:53:28,000 --> 03:53:30,559
Are we singing Jolene? okay?

2077
03:55:06,399 --> 03:55:07,600
Simon.

2078
03:58:53,360 --> 03:58:57,040
Rock and roll! Good night everyone!

2079
03:58:57,520 --> 03:59:00,000
