“Rhythm and Blues Review,” is a night at the Apollo Theatre on 253 W. 125th street in Harlem, filmed sometime in 1954 but not released to the public until sometime in 1955. This movie gives us a glimpse at some of the finest music and musicians of the day as they created and performed blues and rock and roll tunes.
