Salt-N-Pepa threw on their old tri-color leather jackets and brought the crowd to its feet with a romping rendition of "Push It," while the music of Outkast and the White Stripes and memories of late Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell moved the house on Saturday night at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

LOS ANGELES — Salt-N-Pepa threw on their old tri-color leather jackets and brought the crowd to its feet with a romping rendition of "Push It," while the music of Outkast and the White Stripes and memories of late Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell moved the house on Saturday night at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

"This is for every woman who picked up a mic when they told her she couldn't," Cheryl "Salt" James said Saturday while accepting the musical influence award that made her, Sandra "Pepa" Denton and DJ Spinderella members of the hall.

In a rousing speech at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, James brought up their fight to reclaim their master recordings from Universal Music Group.

"The industry still doesn't want to play fair, Salt-N-Pepa have never been afraid of a fight," James said.

They took the stage for a medley of their hits. They opened with "Shoop" then slid into "Let's Talk About Sex" before En Vogue joined them for their joint hit "What a Man." "Push It" pushed the energy up another notch.
