The next backing group inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as part of the class of 2012 is The Midnighters, whose frontman Hank Ballard joined in 1990.
This case is more open and shut than most, in that almost all of Ballard’s success came with The Midnighters. He released three solo albums and a handful of singles, none of which amounted to much, while the band was all over the pop and R&B charts in the 50s and 60s.
