"Being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame is like winning Entertainer of the Year. Moments like this are very rare," Williams said in a statement. "What a thrill to be inducted, as my father was, and to continue the Williams legacy."
The induction ceremony will take place on October 14th. Aside from Williams and Flatt & Scruggs, songwriters Bob DiPiero ("American Made") and Mac McAnally ("Old Flame") will also be inducted. And this year includes a special induction for gospel songwriter Dottie Rambo.
