There'II be a whole lotto shakin' goin' on at the WaldorfAstoria on January 21. That's when Aretha Franklin gets the R-E-S-P-E-C-T she deserves, at the second annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Dinner. Impresario Ahmet Ertegun, who founded the Hall of Fame, will make the Godmother of Soul feel like more than a natural woman by anointing her as the first and only lady inductee. Eddie Cochran, Smokey Robinson, Marvin Gaye, and Jackie Wilson will also be riding on the freeway of love into musical posterity.
