#TuesdayNewsday Apollo Theater, established in 1913 at 253 West 125th Street in the Harlem district of New York City. It has been a significant venue for African American popular music. The building opened its doors to African Americans for the first time on January 26, 1934. That year the long-standing weekly talent show called Amateur Night at the Apollo was born, and one of its early winners was the young Ella Fitzgerald. These Wednesday night shows became legendary, not only for the individuals and groups discovered there (including Lena Horne, Sam Cooke, the Orioles, Marvin Gaye, James Brown, and many others) but also for the highly sophisticated and critical audience that attended. . . . #roku #rokutv #tv #film #movie #show #rokuentertainment #ukwmedia #urbankidzworld #family #kids #showtimeattheapollo #apollotheater #amateurnight #ellafitzgerald #lenahorne #fayewashington #herbjeffries
