The Cadillacs, Bo Diddley, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, The Debutants, The Dells, The Chips, The Schoolboys, Robert And Johnny and The Heartbeats play the fourth of seven nights as part of Dr Jive's Rhythm'n'Blues Revue at The Apollo Theater, Harlem, New York City

Dr. Jive's Rhythm Revue played seven nights at the Apollo Theater in Harlem and this date, November 24, 1956, was just one of those nights. The headliners included the Cadillacs...

Bo Diddley doing his recent hit tune.."Pretty Thing"

Screamin' Jay Hawkins doing what would become a classic!!!

A group called The Debutants--Sorry, they just didn't make it...But The Dells were there (The "Stay In My Corner" cats)...Most likely doing what should have become a Doo-Wop classic with this one...

The FABULOUS Schoolboys were on the bill doing what did become a Doo-Wop classic (at least for those "in the know"--like in The Burgh. NYC, LA etc...)



Next up, the incredible duo, Roberrt & Johnny, with what would become ANOTHER classic, "We Belong Together"



Also on the bill, The Heartbeats--the group which would become "Shep & The Limelites"--They most likely did their cover of 1000 Miles Away which charted for them (at #57) a year later...



That was all in 1956!!! Great Rock 'n Roll shows happened throughout the 50s and 60s and were all major factors in THE EVOLUTION OF ROCK 'N ROLL!!!
