Elizabeth Cotten and Harry Belafonte are being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in the same year on purpose. This was planned. Elizabeth Cotten was the maid for Pete Seeger's father, Charles Seeger, and Pete Seeger's stepmother, Ruth Crawford Seeger. Harry Belafonte gave the induction speech for Pete Seeger at the 1996 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony.

Now you just wait one cotton picking minute...

She quickly mastered the guitar and banjo, developing a distinctive fingerpicking guitar technique that later became widely known as "Cotten style" or "Cotten picking." Being left-handed, she taught herself to play the instrument upside-down, picking the bass strings with her fingers and treble strings with her thumb. Consequently, while Cotten's guitar style has been widely imitated, her sound is nearly impossible to replicate.

Everybody knows the deal is rotten
Old Black Joe's still pickin' cotton
For your ribbons and bows
And everybody knows

-Leonard Cohen, 1988

WHO IS THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ACTUALLY FOR?
“Rock’s highest honour” hasn’t been about rock for a while, but it’s increasingly looking like it’s not about music.

Rhiannon Giddens on Elizabeth Cotten: ‘Her Music Is in the DNA of So Much’
“There are so many of those stories,” Giddens says of the late folk pioneer, whose musical contributions were underappreciated for decades before her induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “The ones that are exceptions, like hers, they prove the rule.”

I'm excited about Harry Belafonte!

Um, T-C, how about getting excited for another artist from Jamaican/Caribbean descent...like Afrika Bambaataa, who revolutionized hip-hop and modern electronic and pop music and who is long overdue for induction...And getting more excited for innovative artists such as the criminally overlooked The Clovers instead of posting some asinine articles and bizarre posts.

While Harry Belafonte is a legend and Elizabeth Cotten deserves her recognition (even if 98% of people don't know who she is, and if you're going to induct someone from the blues-folk idiom with much more recognition, why not Odetta?), you should know that there are much more influential early influences on rock 'n' roll who actually contributed to it significantly that are not even inducted, let alone even considered.
