12:45

Pervis Jackson of the Spinners, who died at age 70 this week, was one of the last great bass voices from the original Old School vocal groups. His "12:45" line from "Games People Play" ensures his induction in the Old School Hall of Fame. Speaking of which, among its many crimes and travesties, is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's continued exclusion of the Spinners. They've never even been nominated. How can they induct the Dells but not the Spinners?
