One of the most infamous musical landmarks in the world, the Apollo Theater in Harlem has helped launch the careers of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Lauryn Hill, and the Jackson 5 to name a few. It was also the venue for Chris Rock's "Bigger and Blacker" HBO Special, one of my all-time favorite stand-up comedy routines.
In a twist of fate, Ben Harper (one of my favorite musicians and all-round good dude) is playing there with his new band Fistful of Mercy in November. I predict another visit to New York in November!
