This year’s ceremony will present 12 Lifetime Achievement Awards, 14 Best Music Maker Awards and 12 Legend Awards.
The Hall of Fame was founded by Tommy Petillo, longtime lead singer of the doo-wop group The Duprees.
“We are truly excited about our 2020 ceremony. The oldies never left; they are actually at the core of everything we listen to today,” says Petillo. “We have managed to successfully bring some very deserving legendary names to the forefront and shine a light on their outstanding contributions to music.”
