The Cotton Club was originally located in Harlem, but it actually moved in 1936 to downtown Manhattan, where it stayed until it closed for good 3 years later. The restaurant today of the same name has no connection to the original.
@@kingsittystudios2400 From what I understand that is why the Harlem Blacks hated the Cotton Club. They resented the whites coming from outside their community to go there.
No one spiking drinks then as men n women leave their tables to dance? In comparison to today's scene. Not safe now for anyone in some nite clubs or any other establishment

It's a disgrace that black people couldn't be patrons of the Cotton Club in Harlem. They performed but they weren't admitted as patrons!
so true,

Rapper Nas talks about this on his "Hip -Hop is Dead" album
Makes me wonder how the entertainers felt about this segregated system?
I will never step foot in the Cotton club for that reason.. we can work but couldn’t sit with them😏
