On June 15, the Songwriters Hall of Fame will induct five composers at its 2006 ceremony in New York. They include "Philly Soul" sound pioneer Thom Bell, Oscar-winning songwriter Will Jennings, television and film score composer Sylvia Moy, Mac Davis and Henry Cosby. In addition, singer-songwriter John Mayer will receive the Hal David Starlight Award and Kris Kristofferson will be given the Johnny Mercer Award.
[Kris Kristofferson has not recorded any Johnny Mercer songs. But they both wrote songs recorded by Frank Sinatra, by Perry Como, by Andy Williams, and by Elvis Presley.]
