BOOKER T. & THE MG'S, THE CRICKETS, & MUSCLE SHOALS RHYTHM SECTION SET FOR MUSICIANS HALL OF FAME

Booker T. & the MG's, the Crickets, and the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section are among the acts set to be inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame, according to The Associated Press. Famous session musician and producer Al Kooper will also be among those inducted.

The Crickets were best known for backing Buddy Holly on most of his 1950s hits, including "Rave On," "That'll Be The Day," "Peggy Sue," "Maybe Baby," and many others.

The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section played on such seminal R&B classics as Aretha Franklin's "Respect" and the Staple Singers' "I'll Take You There," among others.

In addition to their own hits such as "Green Onions," Booker T. & the MG's served as the house band on most of the classic singles for the Stax label, backing Otis Redding and Sam & Dave on numerous hits.

Al Kooper was a co-founder of Blood, Sweat, & Tears, and also produced Lynyrd Skynyrd's first three albums. He played the distinctive organ part on Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone," and also appeared on many Rolling Stones albums in the 1960s, including playing the French horn, piano, and organ parts on "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

Another inductee is producer Billy Sherrill, who produced records by Johnny Cash, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Elvis Costello, and many others.

The official Musicians Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held in October.
