The 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cleveland celebrated iconic artists like Cher, Mary J. Blige, and A Tribe Called Quest, showcasing heartfelt performances and emotional speeches over five and a half hours. Cher, who had previously expressed indifference towards her induction, delivered an electrifying duet of 'Believe' with Dua Lipa, highlighting a shift in her perspective. The event also featured touching tributes to late music legends like Jimmy Buffett, with performances from Kenny Chesney and James Taylor. Despite the celebration, the music industry continues to face challenges, particularly for Black women, who experience underrepresentation and lower earnings compared to their peers. In parallel, the legacy of 'new jill swing' is being revisited as a significant genre in R&B's history, shaped by women who faced both success and exploitation. Artist and manager Ashley reflects on the importance of humility in the music industry, emphasizing the power of perseverance and growth among artists.
