Music - Johnny Cash


OK, so he didn't shoot a man in Reno just to watch him die. He did sing about it though. His music was written by a man for men and not in the way that "It's Rainin' Men" or "In the Navy" was written for men. He likened falling in love with a woman to falling into a burning ring of fire. Amen, Johnny. Also, how many artists can lay claim to a more manly nickname than "The Man in Black"?

Music - The Chairman of the Board


Frank Sinatra

I struggled to nominate the first entry in the Music section, I think there are several good nominations but Frank fits the bill as the one you should think of first. His career spans six decades, he was never the most technical of singers, but what made Frank great was who Frank was and what he projected on stage and screen. He was a brilliant entertainer and truly belongs in this hall. If you do not want to sing along with Frank you are just not having a good time.

Bonus: He as much as anyone is responsible for the Vegas we enjoy today.
