Ray Charles Inducts Billy Joel In Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame (1999)

On 15 March 1999 "Ray Charles inducted Billy Joel, the Piano Man who burst out of Long Island with a rocker's swagger and Tin Pan Alley songwriting skill [in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame]. The wedding standard Just The Way You Are, Uptown Girl and We Didn't Start The Fire are among his hits. Joel gave a long hug to Ray Charles, who inducted him. Joel said he learned his music from Charles, Otis Redding, and Wilson Pickett." The program aired on the 18th.
The other inductees were Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney and Dusty Springfield (who died two weeks before).
The event in New York was covered by ABC's Entertainment Weekly. Source: ABC News VideoSearch (ID VSAP111932_0). Conus Archive (ID 155361) keeps another 56:55 report of the ceremony and the show.
