Enjoy it while visiting New York City in New York
The Apollo is a renowned music venue in the United States. It originated as a burlesque theater back in 1914 but underwent a transformation in the 1930s, becoming a concert hall that played a pivotal role in launching the careers of numerous black musicians. The likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Jackson (with the Jackson 5), and Stevie Wonder, who were once unknown, graced the Apollo stage during the Amateur Night competition. If you happen to be in Harlem on a Wednesday, consider attending Amateur Night—an experience favored by many past visitors.
