The Story of Brown and the Chitlin Circuit

The Chitlin Circuit was an informal network of clubs and theatres that stretched across the USA, catering almost exclusively to black audiences. The worst of these audiences was at the Amritainite at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Brown made sure his group would inspire that kind of loyalty by making sure they worked harder than any other group on the circuit. And after three years of work, he finally had a second hit.
