Songwriters Hall of Fame

The Songwriters Hall of Fame (SHOF) was founded in 1969 by songwriter Johnny Mercer and music publisher/songwriter Abe Olman and publisher/executive Howie Richmond to honor those whose work represents and maintains the heritage and legacy of a spectrum of the most beloved songs from the world's popular music songbook. It not only celebrates these established songwriters, but is also involved on the development of new songwriting talent through workshops, showcases and scholarships. There are many programs designed to teach and discover new songwriters. Nile Rodgers serves as the organization's chairman.[1]


The Hall of Fame only existed as an online virtual collection until 2010, when it was first put on display as a physical gallery inside The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.[2] With an under-construction basement installation at the Brill Building in New York, the Hall does not have a permanent place and the awards are not televised.[3]


Through 2010, 383 individuals had been inducted into the SHOF. The pop music group the Bee Gees had all three brothers inducted in 1994, while Queen was the first rock band to have all their band members inducted in 2003.[4][5]
