From 1926 until it's demolition in 1958, the Savoy Ballroom was known as "The World's Finest Ballroom", "The Home of Happy Feet" and "The Soul of Harlem". A 10000 square feet ballroom that hosted up to 4000 dancers every night of the week.
Host for innumerable battles of the bands, we present to you a selection of the house bands from the Savoy Ballroom.
