Showtime at the Apollo
from VHC (Vibes, History & Culture) · host Kevin
In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into the rich history and legacy of the Apollo Theater which originally begin in 1914 as a burlesque venue that was white-only. But 20 years later, the theater would transform into African-American Entertainment cultural hub and staple that we know it today. We’re also paying a special tribute to “Showtime at the Apollo” co-host, Kiki Shepard. Song Credits:“Showtime At the Apollo (Theme Song)” ℗ 1987DISCLAIMER:No copyright infringement intended.
