Music City Walk of Fame honors Patsy Cline, John Prine

Why it matters: The group is indicative of the city's rich and multifaceted musical identity.

Zoom in: Cline, whose voice brought her to the top of the country and pop charts, set the standard for elegant Nashville ballads. She died in a plane crash in 1963.

• Prine, a towering singer-songwriter, was a hero of Americana who counted Bob Dylan among his admirers. He died in 2020.
• Hardy, a Music Row executive, worked at the highest levels of the country genre, including a stint as president of the Great American Country network. He died in July.
• Kwami shepherded the storied Fisk Jubilee Singers to mainstream acclaim and their first-ever Grammy win. He died earlier this month.

The big picture: The latest additions will bring the Walk of Fame's total membership to 97.

• The induction ceremony will take place on Oct. 10 in Walk of Fame Park along Demonbreun Street.
