The Songwriters Hall of Fame is an American institution founded in 1969 by songwriter
Johnny Mercer and music publishers
Abe Olman and
Howie Richmond to honor those whose work represents a spectrum of the most beloved songs from the world's popular music songbook. The Hall of Fame only existed as an online virtual collection until 2010, when it was first put on display as a physical gallery inside
The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.[1]
Through 2019, 461 individuals have been inducted.[2][3][4][5]
