Kaye, 90, reportedly explained in a Facebook post that she’s turning down the honor because the event doesn’t properly represent the legacy of studio musicians during her era.
She also voiced frustration over the Hall referring to her as part of the “Wrecking Crew,” a label she’s long rejected.
Shortly after her induction was announced, Kaye doubled down in the comments, saying, “Please know our only name was Studio Musicians,” and added she wasn’t sure if she could tolerate being labeled a “wrecker” to attend the event.
A pioneering bassist with more than 10,000 recording credits, Kaye helped shape the sound of popular music behind the scenes, performing on hits by The Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Simon & Garfunkel and The Supremes — just to name a few.
“I never played bass in my life,” she recalled, but quickly found a knack for inventing catchy bass lines. “As a jazz musician, you invent every note you play.”
“I refuse to be part of a process that is something else rather than what I believe in… We all enjoyed working with EACH OTHER.”
