Whitney Houston and The Notorious B.I.G. are two of the music icons inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame which premiered on HBO and HBO Max Saturday (8 EST/PST), in a two-hour special that pays tribute to the eclectic class of 2020, which includes Whitney Houston, Notorious B.I.G., Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, T. Rex and the Doobie Brothers.

Houston's induction, which closed out the special, was unsurprisingly moving, as Alicia Keys describes her "beautiful friendship" with the incomparable singer, calling her "the greatest voice of all time." Source: USA TODAY
