Proud Mary singer Turner was previously inducted alongside her ex-husband as part of Ike & Tina Turner in 1991, but has now earned a solo spot in the Hall of Fame.
Turner retired after a sold-out farewell tour, which ended in 2009, and was recently the subject of a documentary which was billed as a way of saying goodbye to her fans.
Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was also previously inducted in 2014 as a member of rock band Nirvana, while Tapestry singer King was previously inducted with co-songwriter Gerry Goffin in 1990.
The inductees are chosen by an international group of more than 1,200 artists, including current living inductees, historians and members of the music industry.
