MOTOWN SPREE ON NYC CLUB SCENE ’71
NEW YORK — Motown Records is virtually monopolizing New York’s entertainment scene, with four of its top stars, The Supremes, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, and Willie Tyler, are currently headlining at such major nightclubs and theater venues as the Copacabana, the Royal Box, and the Apollo Theater, all at the same time within a one week period.
The Four Tops began a two-week engagement at the Copacabana last Thursday, April 29, while the Supremes step into the spotlight at the Hotel Americana’s Royal Box Monday, May 10 for a two-week engagement there. Stevie Wonder is booked for seven-days at the Apollo, beginning Wednesday, May 13, and ventriloquist Willie Tyler is on the bill with the Four Tops at the Copacabana. END.
