Who was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

As a music nerd who's spent way too many hours debating the finer points of guitar solos, I've always had a soft spot for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This musical Wonderland is a place where blues cats and disco queens rub shoulders with guitar gods and punk princesses. It's a party, and everyone's invited!
One minute you're headbanging to Zeppelin, the next you're attempting dance moves that would make James Brown proud (and possibly concerned). The Hall took the rock and roll spirit - that mix of rebellion, passion, and eardrum-busting volume - and said, "You know what? Let's sprinkle this magic on everything."
When it came time to welcome the first woman into this pantheon of cool, they didn't just pick any artist. They chose a force of nature, someone who could make the angels weep with jealousy every time she opened her mouth.

The answer is: Aretha Franklin. Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, became the first woman in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987. Her powerhouse vocals and boundary-pushing career redefined rock and popular music. Franklin's induction showed that soul and R&B are the beating heart of rock and roll.Source
