I guess The Apollo Theater didn’t get the memo that I’m a huge O’Jays fan and that’s why my invite to this year’s Spring Gala never arrived. 😉
But okay, I’m sure all the other guests enjoyed their many infectious hits including Love Train, I Love Music and Backstabbers which I’m sure they performed at this years benefit.
Hosted by LL COOL J, along with The O’Jays, the evening celebrated the Theater’s legacy with a spectacular one-night-only concert with Leon Bridges, Andra Day, and Les Twins, and a star-studded party with dinner and dancing.
Proceeds from the event support the Theater’s performing arts, education and community initiatives.
Earlier in the day, the Theater inducted Prince Into the Apollo Walk of Fame For a Special Gala Walk of Fame Ceremony.
