How could anyone sing like that? And his stage presence was amazing to watch,&#8221; he recalled. &#8220;I can honestly say that any ambitions I had of being a musician before I&#8217;d seen that film were doubled by the time I left that cinema. It was that inspiring.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/artists-not-in-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">135 Artists Not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adams <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/bryan-adams-songs-for-others\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">co-wrote and played guitar on Cocker&#8217;s final Top 40 hit<\/a>, 1989&#8217;s &#8220;When the Night Comes.&#8221; He shared a funny story from that session during his speech. &#8220;I also made the fatal mistake of once trying to drink with Joe. &#8230;.Joe came in with a bottle of cola and a bottle of rum. For those of you that knew Joe, you will know that this combination was famously called the Joe cola. Now I was not particularly interested in either of those drinks, but after he sang a one-take vocal performance, Joe insisted that we celebrate with a Joe cola. I can tell you unequivocally, that was the end of the recording session.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Who Else is Getting Inducted Into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame This Year?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/bad-company\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bad Company<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/chubby-checker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chubby Checker<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/cyndi-lauper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cyndi Lauper<\/a>, Outkast, <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/soundgarden\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Soundgarden<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/the-white-stripes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White Stripes<\/a>\u00a0were also inducted in the performer category tonight. <a href=\"https:\/\/ultimateclassicrock.com\/tags\/warren-zevon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Warren Zevon<\/a> and Salt-N-Pepa were inducted in the Music Influence category, with Carole Kaye, Thom Bell and Nicky Hopkins honored for Musical Excellence.<\/p>\n<p>How to Watch the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony will stream live on Disney+ on Saturday, Nov. 8 at 8PM EST \/ 5PM PST, and will be available to stream following the ceremony.
