“I was here at home when I was receiving all kinds of calls, congratulating me,” she told the outlet. “And I had no idea as to what they were congratulating me for. They’re saying, ‘Oh, you’ve been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.’ I said, ‘I have?’”
She went on to admit that while she’s had a prolific career, with more than 30 hits on the Top 40 charts, she never really considered herself a candidate for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“I’ve never considered myself a rock and roller,” she said. “I guess everybody else did, except me. Which is OK, you know. I’ll be a rock and roller if that’s what you want me to be.”
Warwick will be entering the Hall of Fame with the prestigious Musical Excellence Award, but confessed she didn’t really know the difference between her honor and the regular induction into the hall.
"I haven’t a clue as to what the difference is,” she revealed. “It’s all kind of new to me. I watched a couple of these shows where the people were put into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame thing, but never saw myself as one of those to be considered."
