He was inducted into both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Cramer's "slip-note" or "bent-note" style, in which a passing note slides almost instantly into or away from a chordal note, influenced a generation of pianists.

Its follow-up, " On the Rebound", topped the UK Singles Chart in 1961.
