Apollo Theater

The Apollo Theater is a famous music hall in Harlem.  Built in 1913, it was originally all-white music hall and burlesque house.  In 1934 it was turned into a place for Black performers.  Many got their start at the Apollo.  It has become the symbol of black music and culture.

 

Performers at the Apollo include:  Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Billie Holliday, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Diana Ross & the Supremes, The Jackson 5, Aretha Franklin, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Buddy Holly, Paul McCartney, and more.

 

I just learned that Bruce Springsteen will be playing at the Apollo in March.

“Everything Must Go, Even my Dog Toto!”

"Everything must go, even my dog Toto.  And my ex wife, too!"

I was walking down 125th street, past  these two trying to entice people to go into their store that had a sale.  When the man on the right mentioned his dog Toto and ex wife, I burst out laughing and backtracked to take their photo.   I’m sure they were able to get a lot of people to stop by their store that day.
