Anyone know where I can find out more about this old chitlin circuit venue ?
I know it was used a lot by Murray the K for his big shows and that [[like many other similar venues) it was closed & pulled down towards the end of the 1960's.
You get allsorts of info on shows at the Apollo in soul singers books but very little about the Fox.

Did it have its own in-house band that backed up visiting artists ?
.... guess not as live shows were an infrequent event there.
It was mainly used as a cinema, with live shows only being hosted there once in a while.
How often did it host such shows & was this only because a ' touring package' had a New York slot but another ensemble was already booked into the Apollo ?
There is quite a bit on-line about the theater's architecture & it's ownership, but little about the shows that played the theater [[apart from info on just about all of the Murray the K hosted events which were usually held twice a year).
Anyone here actually attend any shows at the venue ?
All help much appreciated.
