Cotton club
Cotton club edits
I would like to add to the other cotton club portion of the article with details about some of the other locations. and I want to address the criminal associations that the club has to the Capone brothers.
The Midtown Years
In June of 1935, the Cotton Club opened its doors to black patrons. In preparation for the Joe Louis fight the club planned a gala and, "extended an open invitation to the Sepians."[1]
The Harlem Years Section
Another notable "Cotton Club Parade" in 1933 featured Ethel Waters, and Duke Ellington performing Stormy Weather. Later this performance would also include Lena Horne, and Katherine Dunhamin the film adaptation of Stormy Weather.[2]
Other cotton club Section
Cotton Club (Portland), Cotton Club (Las Vegas), an additional cotton club was opened in Lubbock Texas. The Lubbock club was opened on November, 11, 1938 by Tommy Hancock, and was an integrated club, not unlike the Chicago club. [3] The club in Lubbock however, was home to more white artists than the Harlem club.[4] The Cotton club in Portland was opened by Paul Knauls in 1963.[5] The club in Las Vegas was opened by Moe Taub in 1944. This location differed from other clubs because it was a casino.[6] Taub opened for black servicemen.[7]
I've also added citations needed to The Fats Waller Wikipedia page and added details about his life and hyperlinks to existing, related Wikipedia pages.
