Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rejects Dolly Parton’s withdrawal requests

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has rejected Dolly Parton’s request to withdraw from the nominations list.

Now, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has responded: “From its inception, Rock & Roll has had deep roots in Rhythm & Blues and Country music.”
