On September 18, 1947, country music came to #CarnegieHall! Ernest Tubb and the Grand Ole Opry Stars performed two consecutive shows. As DownBeat_Mag said, “A cheering, overflowing crowd proved doubters wrong—and that country music had a place on New York’s prestigious stage.” Take a look at these photos from the performance by William P. Gottlieb, courtesy of the Library of Congress. #CHArchives
