A prolific and revered bassist, Carol Kaye played on thousands of songs in the 1960s including hits by the Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel and Barbra Streisand. She says she wants no part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

One of the most in-demand session players of the 1960s, Kaye was listed alongside the late record producer Thom Bell and the late pianist Nicky Hopkins as inductees in the Musical Excellence category.

Carol Kaye declined her invitation to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in a since-deleted Facebook post. Despite her absence, she is set to receive the Musical Excellence Award.
