a revue review

Here's another page from the hip-shakin' history of R&B. Many of us don't remember the Rhythm & Blues Revues, those traveling shows popular in the mid-'50s to the mid-'60s that featured a whole crew of R&B performers in one roof-raising spectacle. If you're curious what these extravaganzas were like, take a peek at the Rhythm & Blues Revues web page. Not only will you find a wonderful essay detailing the experience of revue-going, but you'll get a chance to check out some great photos, posters, ads, and more. This is a one-of-a-kind resource; lace up your boogie shoes and shimmy your way to the URL above.
