The stars, along with Jamaican reggae artist Jimmy Cliff and 1960s British rock group The Hollies, were unveiled as the latest honorees on Tuesday.
They will be inducted into the Cleveland, Ohio hall alongside record company executive David Geffen, and songwriters including Otis Blackwell and Jesse Stone.
The acts will be honoured at the 25th annual induction ceremony on 15 March in New York.
