The Vocal Group Hall of Fame is a 501c3 Non-Profit Foundation. It was founded in January 1997 to honor the “Greatest Vocal Groups of The World” in every genre of music. The basic concept is to induct vocal groups into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, to preserve their music, perpetuate their memory and display their memorabilia in a world class Vocal Group Hall of Fame Museum, while paying tribute to the Inductees as international music treasures.
