// François K honoured by 2005's Dance Music Hall Of Fame /

[System.S]

On September 19th, the Dance Music Hall of Fame honoured its second annual round of inductees at an awards ceremony held at New York's Manhattan Center Grand Ballroom. Formed in 2003, the Dance Music Hall of Fame recognizes the contributions of those who "have had a significant impact on the evolution and development of dance music and will celebrate the history and significance of dance music". Individuals become eligible for nomination 25 years after their first contribution to dance music or first record release.

Although the awards should perhaps for clarity be called the U.S. Dance Music Hall Of Fame, RA is nonetheless pleased to report that the very worthy 'Class of 2005' inductees into The Dance Music Hall of Fame's are:

Performing Artist: Chic, Gloria Gaynor, Sylvester;
Records: Bee Gees “Stayin’ Aliveâ€
