STEVE EMBER: Welcome to THIS IS AMERICA in VOA Special English. I'm Steve Ember.
FAITH LAPIDUS: And I'm Faith Lapidus. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame welcomed new members into its highly respected club last week. The ceremony took place March fourteenth at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. It was recorded for a television broadcast Sunday night. Today we take a look at the five performers inducted into the Hall of Fame and play some of their music.

STEVE EMBER: The shock rock band Alice Cooper is among the new members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band is as well known for its extraordinary stage performances as it is for its music. Alice Cooper’s extreme clothing, face make-up, fake blood and crazy behavior have entertained audiences for nearly fifty years. Lead singer Vincent Furnier’s snake was often part of the stage act. Alice Cooper concerts were like funny horror shows set to music.

FAITH LAPIDUS: The five-member band began playing music together as high school students in Phoenix, Arizona. They took the name Alice Cooper in nineteen sixty-eight. Their nineteen seventy-two song “School’s Out” was their first major hit.
