<p>The 2023 class “represents not just iconic songs but also diversity and unity across genres, ethnicity and gender, songwriters who have enriched our lives and, in their time, literally transformed music and the lives of billions of listeners all over the world,” said Nile Rogers, the hall’s chair.</p>

<p>Eligible voting members late last year turned in ballots with their choices of three nominees from the songwriter category and three from the performing-songwriter category.</p>

<p>Some of the 2023 nominees who will have to wait to include The Doobie Brothers, R.E.M., Heart, Blondie, Bryan Adams, Patti Smith, and Steve Winwood.</p>

<p>The Songwriters Hall of Fame was established in 1969 to honor those creating popular music. A songwriter with a notable catalog of songs qualifies for induction 20 years after the first commercial release of a song.</p>

<p>Some already in the hall include Carole King, Paul Simon, Billy Joel, Jon Bon Jovi, and Richie Sambora, Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Brian Wilson, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Lionel Richie, Bill Withers, Neil Diamond, and Phil Collins.</p>
