Likewise, Ringo Starr will received the Award for Musical Excellence and the "5" Royales will enter under the "Early Influences" category. The "5" Royales were the original artists who recorded "Dedicated to the One I Love" which the Mamas and Papas had a #2 Hit with. The Shirelles also hit the charts with it too.
