Rubinstein's 1965 album of Chopin waltzes for RCA Victor was chosen, as was the Original Dixieland Jazz Band's 1917 "Darktown Strutters Ball," one of the first jazz recordings ever made.

Other jazz and blues recordings to be inducted this year include Bessie Smith's 1923 "Downhearted Blues" and Jimmy Forrest's 1952 "Night Train."
