Jon Bon Jovi, shown here at a concert in 2008, will be inducted into the
Songwriters Hall of Fame in June.
On June 18 -- about six weeks after being inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame on May 3 -- Jon Bon Jovi will enter the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
He and Richie Sambora, who write songs together for the group Bon Jovi, will enter as a team. Other honorees will include Felix Cavaliere and Eddie Brigati of the (Young) Rascals; Roger Cook and Roger Greenaway (writers of hits for groups like the Fortunes, the Hollies and Gary Lewis and the Playboys); Crosby, Stills and Nash; Galt MacDermot, James Rado and the late Gerome Ragni (the team behind the counterculture classic "Hair"); and Stephen Schwartz (musicals "Wicked," "Godspell" and "Pippin").
The ceremony will take place at New York's Marriott Marquis Hotel. For information, visit
