- The Harlem Eye/Artist Profile: A Harlem Tribute to James Brown (1933-2006)
Since 1934 when the Apollo Theater first introduced its world-famous Amateur Night, launching the careers of legendary artists like Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Luther Vandross and Lauryn Hill, the historic theater has been the nation's premier arena for emerging and established black and Latino performers. Based in the heart of Harlem, the national historic landmark hosts major concerts and special events and continues its tradition of discovering future stars in the syndicated television show, Showtime at the Apollo, which is taped at the world famous venue and airs weekly in over 150 markets nationwide, and the popular weekly stage show, Apollo Amateur Night. One of New York City's top tourist attractions, the Apollo Theater draws 1.3 million visitors annually. The Apollo Theater Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit corporation.
