Detroit

[G.C.] Cameron, 78, a Detroit native who still lives here, is not being inducted with the Spinners.

That irresistible, pleading lead voice of G.C.’s on “It’s a Shame” — he goes into a passionate falsetto at various points that could give Marvin Gaye pause — brought the group its first post-doo-wop hit in 1970, thanks to the songwriting and producing skill of Stevie Wonder, as well as the earworm guitar riff from a Funk Brother (reportedly Dennis Coffey) — that voice is not included?

Drama, romance, politics, geography...it all plays into the story, while we all yawn and say, "who gives a rat's ass about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anyway?"
