My walk today took me along 125th Street on my way to Dick Blick's art store.
The Apollo Theater’s Walk of Fame celebrates and honors the legendary performers who have helped to build the Theater’s legacy for over 80 years. The Walk of Fame inductees have had an enormous influence on generations of musicians and fans.
Having recorded over 200 albums, selling more than 40 million records, and working with the greatest performers of the 20th century…Ella Fitzgerald was inducted into the Apollo Walk of Fame in 2006.
Between 1935 and 1947, Louis Armstrong performed at the Apollo with his big band many times. Thanks in part to the recognition he received at these shows, Louis Armstrong went on to star on Broadway, radio, television and in films and cartoons.
