George Clinton, Doobie Brothers to join Songwriters Hall of Fame

Jan. 22 (UPI) -- The Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees are in, and George Clinton and The Doobie Brothers are among the artists to earn the honor.

"The foundation of the music industry exists because songwriters compose great songs," Hall of Fame Chairman, Nile Rodgers, said in a statement. "Without them, there is no recorded music, no concert business, no fans, or merchandising; it all starts with the song and the songwriter."
