Brilliant, Fast-Paced and Exciting!

This book brilliantly depicts the outstanding role Ralph Cooper played in shaping American music as we know it today. His genius and forethought has yet to be matched in this century. I enjoyed the book immensely!

A concise history of a by-gone era done with love and humor.

A history not only of the Apollo Theatre, but of Black entertainment in this country. Mr.Cooper is very knowledgeable and gives a wealth of information about an exciting era. A good reference book, giving me a better understanding of the roots and important of Black entertainment and its influences in the U.S.
