Who was the first person inducted in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame?

McGruff

I'm afraid I can't find a definitive answer at the official Rock and Roll Hall of Fame website. CNN says it was Chuck Berry here: http://www.cnn.com/virtual/editions/europe/2000/roof/change.pop/frameset.exclude.html, although I did find another source that says it was Elvis: http://www.odysseygroup.com/coll397/hall.htm I'm inclined to think it was probably Elvis, as a posthumous first induction would have seemed more fitting than choosing between living performers, presumably in attendance, however, from a researcher's point of view, I have to choose what I consider to be a more credible source, and in this case, CNN won out over Bill Miller, whoever he is.
