De Songwriters Hall of Fame is een onderdeel van de National Academy of Popular Music. In 1969 werd SHOF opgericht door songwriter Johnny Mercer en uitgevers Abe Olman en Howie Richmond. Het doel is een museum te creëren, maar dit is nog niet gebeurd.
Er was aanvankelijk alleen een online museum, totdat er een fysieke galerij werd geopend in The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.
Er worden jaarlijks mensen aan de lijst toegevoegd. Verder worden aan veelbelovende songwriters beurzen gegeven. Ook worden de volgende prijzen uitgereikt:
Hal David Starlight Award, voor jonge talenten Johnny Mercer Award, voor songwriter die al in de SHOF staan en meerdere uitstekende nummers hebben geschreven Sammy Cahn Lifetime Achievement Award, voor songwriters die in hun leven veel bereikt hebben Abe Olman Publisher Award, voor uitgevers die veel beroemde nummers hebben uitgegeven Towering Song/Towering Performance, voor het beste nummer of de beste uitvoering hiervan
