Famous Celebs that Performed at Apollo
Here are names from FAQ Farmers:
- In most cases, an act would NOT make it onto the stage at the Apollo, if they had not had at least one or two hits records, nationally. This venue was THE PLACE to be, if you were doing R&B or Soul music.
- Lauryn Hill and I think Nelly as well.
- The Apollo was the pinnacle of achievement for black performers since at least the 1920s. Many of them were famous within the black community, but unknown outside it. Maya Angelou sang there in the late 1950s, long before she became renouned as a poet.
- Buddy Holly and The Crickets,according to the movie.
