Much celebrated Kiwi music icon Sharon O'Neill will be inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame.
The 'Maxine' singer-songwriter will be honoured at the 52nd Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards with the Legacy Award, which celebrates the impact a Kiwi artist has had on the New Zealand music scene.
Nelson-born O'Neill is no stranger to music awards, she's the only person to win the Top Female Vocalist at the NZ Music Awards for three consecutive years, in 1978, 1979 and 1980.
O'Neill would first become popular after her performance on the New Zealand TV show "The Entertainers" in 1978.
"I was thrilled to bits just to get where I got, only because it lead to a recording contract for me," O'Neill told Andrew Dickens' Sunday Cafe on Newstalk ZB.
