From 1986, there were four categories of induction: performers, non-performers, early influences, and lifetime achievement. In 2000, "sidemen" was introduced as a category.
The "non-performer" category honors songwriters, producers, disc jockeys, concert promoters, record company executives, etc. Several of the inductees in this category (most notably, Carole King, Herb Alpert and Allen Toussaint) were in fact fairly well-known as performers as well.
