Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Singles with Steven Van Zandt

1. Rocket "88" by Jackie Brenston and his Delta Cats 1951, 2. Rumble by Link Wray and his Wray Men 1958, 3. The Twist by Chubby Checker 1960, 4. Louie Louie by The Kingsmen 1963, 5. A Whiter Shade Of Pale by Procol Harum 1967 and 6. Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf 1968 are the six 45 records inducted in the brand new 2018 category "Singles" by "Little Steven" Van Zandt. The record producer and Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band guitarist presented the songs on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Cleveland in April 2018. Stevie Van Zandt was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the E Street Band.

Rock Hall's decision to include Rumble on Singles "Juke Box" was influenced by Jimmy Page reverence of Link Wray's late Fifties rock instrumental. The former Led Zeppelin guitarist's glowing comments and reactions to listening to his 45 single Rumble on the film "It Might Get Loud" follows (7:20).
