And hold on, Salt N Pepa's here as 2025 Musical Influence honorees along with Warren "Werewolves of London" Zevon while Nicky Hopkins, who died aged 50 in 1994, Thom Bell, 1943 to 2022, and Carol Kaye, still going strong at the age of 90, are rewarded with recognition in the Musical Excellence category (aka the "Unsung Heroes" section).
Hopkins provided piano for The Rolling Stones (from "Their Satanic Majesties..." through to "Tattoo You"), The Beatles, The Who ("Who's Next") and The Kinks among others and Bell is remembered as one of the creators of Philadelphia soul in the 1970s and was inducted into both the Songwriters and Musicians Halls of Fame during his lifetime.
Carol Kaye, who is choosing not to attend the ceremony, has worked with everyone from Ritchie Valens on "La Bamba" in 1958 to both Frank Sinatra and Frank Zappa as well as Glenn Campbell on "Wichita Lineman" and with the Beach Boys on the seminal "Pet Sounds" album. The Ahmet Ertegun Award will go to DreamWorks Records co-founder Lenny Waronker.
