On Sunday, June 23rd in Detroit, Michigan, the Band of Gypsys (Jimi Hendrix, Buddy Miles, and Billy Cox) were inducted into the 2019 class of the R&B Hall of Fame. Billy Cox's BOG's Experience with Dani Robinson on guitar and Richie Monica on drums, were able to perform two songs before the BOG's were inducted. Billy Cox, the only surviving member of the group, was on hand to accept his honor, as well as give a speech. Representatives of the Miles and Hendrix estate accepted on their behalf. A big thanks goes to Lamont Robinson and the R&B Selection Committee. Now sights are set on inducting the BOG's into the Rock and Roll HOF.
