Showtime at the Apollo is the definitive history of Harlems world-famous showplace. Home to nearly every great black star including: James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Richard Pryor, Gladys Knight, Michael Jackson, Ray Charles, Redd Foxx, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughn and Bojangles Robinson, the theater still hosts contemporary luminaries like The Roots, Mary J. Blige, Chris Rock, Wynton Marsalis and Whoopi Goldberg. Numerous performers relate their own poignant, exciting and sometimes hilarious stories. Some 150 photographs many never before published are interspersed throughout.

For African-Americans, the Apollo was the greatest black theater, and a special place to come of age. For whites including Elvis Presley and the Beatles the Apollo was as close as they could come to the reality of the black experience.

Still thriving, the Apollo has exerted an unprecedented influence upon popular culture. Since 1934, the Apollo has been at the forefront of African-American music, dance and comedy. Its legendary Amateur Night spawned countless stars. Renowned for having the worlds toughest and most appreciative audience, it is the place where, as Dionne Warwick says in the book, Everyone gave their best performance".

"The essential book, mandatory for the most casual student as well as the most ardent fan." David Hinckley, Daily News
