Music legends Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff, co-founders of Philadelphia International Records, have been inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame for two years straight. The legendary songwriters and producers were honored at the ceremony for creating a colossal collection of classic dance music throughout the 70's.

Other music industry veterans inducted at the ceremony were Gloria Gaynor, Cheryl Lynn, Quincy Jones, Chic, The Trammps and the Bee Gees. Each year, the Dance Music Hall of Fame's nominating committee and board of advisors select nominees in the categories of performer, record, producer, remixer and DJ. Ballots are then sent to an international voting committee of more than 1,000 dance music experts. Artists, producers and others who helped shape the dance music industry become eligible for induction 25 years after their first contribution or record release.
