Apollo Theater
This is one of the most well known music halls in the world. It is well known for its African American acts that have appeared there. The building opened in 1913 in Harlem, NY. Buddy Holly claimed to be the first white act in 1953 but others have disputed that. A young Jimi Hendrix got his start here when he won a talent competition in 1964. In 1987, they started filming Showtime at the Apollo here, and it is still on air today. That show allows professionals and up and coming artists to perform on stage together. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on Nov 17, 1983.
