The Atlantic City Experience

The Atlantic City Free Public Library’s special presentation of “The Atlantic City Experience� continues to impress through its on-site displays and through the library’s Web site atlanticcityexperience.org. There, visitors can find a history of the first Miss America Pageant and its early origins in Atlantic City. Though the pageant is now held in Las Vegas in January, it premiered on the A.C. boards in 1921 as a marketing gimmick to extend the summer season in September. And that first pageant is a natural fit for the library’s program, which focuses on the 1920s, thanks to the success of Boardwalk Empire on HBO. The Web site features rundowns on Enoch “Nucky� Johnson (who the show’s Nucky Thompson is based on), and other less known figures in the city’s history such as Sarah Spencer Washington, an African-American woman and city leader who made her fortune as one of the first business people to develop beauty products for black women. The library unveiled its first special exhibit — “The Atlantic City Experience: 1920s� — in October. The exhibit, which will be on display at the Main Library until spring 2011, consists of three displays — Nucky’s Empire: Pictures and information about the former Atlantic City boss; The Atlantic City Experience: shots of Atlantic City in the 1920s and Life in the Roaring ’20s: photographs and information about 1920s culture in general. Also, the library is showcasing 1920s-era clothing, including an authentic flapper dress and tuxedo. So whether its online or at the library itself, a trip to 1920s Atlantic City is just moments away. — Mike Pritchard

Following a brief hiatus that left live music only at its original location in Atlantic City on Saturdays, the finest in live entertainment returns to Formica Brothers CafĂŠ in Northfield on Friday nights. The rebirth resumes on the right foot, too, as one of the region’s most popular entertainers, Dr. Bobby Fingers, performs from 7-10pm for a sing-a-long shindig on Jan. 21. The following Friday, Jan. 28, will have the area’s own pop-rock icon, Bobby Campanell, on hand with his long time bassist, Tony DiMatteo. The Feb. 4 show will feature the sounds of two more premier area musicians, keyboardist Carl Granieri and internationally known horn player Howard Isaacson, playing classic pop melodies and crowd favorites. Showgoers can enjoy beverages, homemade Italian pastries, cannolis, biscotties and panini sandwiches made with bread baked in Formica Brothers’ 92-year-old tradition. Tickets are only $5 at the door and guests are welcome to bring beer and wine to accompany their sandwiches, snacks and desserts. “The longstanding relationship between the Marotta family and the Formica family continues to produce great events for all of us into the New Year,â€? says Carmen Marotta of Tony Mart’s Presents, which is working in tandem with cafĂŠ owner Frank Formica to produce the shows. — Ray Schweibert

F E W D E C A D E S A G O , D A N C E clubs and the music DJs played in them seemed to fall into maybe a couple of collective styles, and in terms of popularity the artists on the record labels stood head and shoulders above the turntablists spinning the discs. Since then, and in a trend related to the capacity for anyone to carry around advanced computer technology in their back pockets, electronic dance music (EDM) blazed into all the nightclubs, and genres and sub-genres like house, techno, trance, break-beat and other names started springing into the vocabularies of the recently hip. With that also emerged names of DJs with the creative ability to mix, scratch and blend beats and lyrics into signature sounds that gave them superstar status in their own rights, many commanding tens of thousands of dollars for single-night performances at certain clubs.

‘We’re marketing, booking, selling and presenting entertainment. We have different formulas to figure out who’s going to set the audience on fire.’ On Saturday, Jan. 22, Club Worship at Showboat’s House of Blues will feature two rising EDM stars in a seven-hour music extravaganza starting at 11pm. Headlining the event will be chart-topping DJ/producer/ remixer Eddie Thoneick, a preeminent figure on the European EDM scene who will be performing in Atlantic City for the first time. Also appearing will be DJ/producer/remixer Rob Mirage. “We’re marketing, booking, selling and presenting entertainment, and we have different formulas and different ways to figure out who that should be and who’s going to set the audience on fire,” says Todd Rodeghiero of Art of Electronica (AOE), which is presenting the event in association with Decibel and Cruzan Rum. “We like to think Eddie’s one of those guys. “‘Live Your Life’ is his most explosive track and the one that really put him where he is right now, and was pretty much the anthem of the electronic dance music scene this past summer,” he adds. “His explosive success is traced to that song, and at this stage in his career we feel he’s just getting off the ground, really.” “This event on the 22nd has already been generating tremendous buzz around the region, and even in certain pockets of North Jersey and New York,” says Joe Friedman, business development manager for House of Blues in Atlantic City. “We think it’s

going to be a success and the start of a long-term relationship between Art of Electronica and Caesars Entertainment/House of Blues. “I was impressed with an event series Todd and Mark [Marek] produced last summer called Nervous Beach Party at the Hilton [Beach Bar, sponsored by Playboy Energy Drink],” adds Friedman. “That’s how they got on my radar, and we’ve been talking pretty much ever since. A lot of times with certain event producers there’s a lot of talk and not a lot of follow-through, but what really impressed me about Todd’s operation is that they are a fully integrated operation — not just from the standpoint of artist booking, but they have a whole promotional component behind them and they have the ability to solidify corporate sponsorships. They share our sentiment of bringing artists in here to perform some really substantial events for many years.” AOE was behind bringing Thoneick to Atlantic City, as he has largely honed his craft in Europe thus far. Mirage, born and raised in New York City, is already a 15-year EDM veteran at just 27 years of age. “We’re also very excited to be working with Rob for the first time,” says Rodeghiero. “Luckily for us, he just put out an unbelievable, acclaimed compilation album on the label that he just started, Nirvana Recordings, that’s getting a lot of attention, so we’re catching him on the cusp of an interesting time in his career as well.” Saturday’s opening act will be Luvitt & JNH of Dance. Philly, followed by the dueling DJ tandem of Palz & Garcia from midnight to 2am. Thoneick will perform during the headline slot of 2-4am, and Mirage will close out the show’s final time slot from 4-6am. “It’s going to be a great show,” says Rodeghiero. “Atlantic City’s a great place because you can do so many different events, give sponsors so many different looks and feels and ways to interact with the audiences.” ÊN

F I’VE LEARNED ANYTHING DURING the 30 years I’ve been moonlighting in television, it’s this: There’s no such thing as a routine taping. The shoots always start and end in a typical fashion, which means setting up and breaking down the equipment. And during the actual taping, I tend to open and close the show in a fairly standard way. But it’s the time in between that’s usually anything but routine. For example, 15 years ago I didn’t expect the late comedy actor Dom DeLuise and two of his sons, Peter and Michael, to suddenly jump me near at the end of the show, rip off my shoes and socks and then flee the scene of the comedic assault. Then there was the time Breck Wall, the producer and stage ringleader of a burlesque revue, stood next to our show’s producer, Jake Glassey Jr., and mooned me (and I’m talking about a actual pants-dropping full moon). Most recently, there was a completely bizarre experience we had with Tony Clifton — the living alter ego of dead comedian Andy Kaufman — that defies any attempt at a brief explanation. With that in mind, let’s go behind the scenes of a shoot we did with four of today’s top comedians who performed Jan. 15-16 at the Borgata under the banner “The Anti-Social Network.” A comedy roundtable with Jim Norton, Jim Breuer, Dave Attell and Bill Burr seemed like a good idea. In retrospect, I probably should have paid more attention to our associate producer, Tom Morgenweck Jr., when he offered his own assessment of the shoot when we talked about it earlier in the week. “Spatzy,” Tom said in his typical quiet way, “you know those guys are nuts, right?” We taped the show in a private dining room in Fornelletto, the casino’s gourmet Italian restaurant, before the comics were scheduled to meet the media at a cocktail reception. There was no headliner among the quartet, but since the four-ring comedy circus was Norton’s idea, I lobbed him the first question asking how he came up with the name “The Anti-Social Network.” From there, things began spiraling out of control. Attell wanted to know why Atlantic City’s airport is an “international” gateway when it has no overseas flights, and if there aren’t any international flights, where could he get one?

Breuer, the only one of the four who had been a previous guest on our show, kept interrupting by reacting to his colleagues with his machine gun-like laugh and had me thinking he was going to break into Goat Boy at any moment. Burr said the taping reminded him of something he’d expect from PBS host Charlie Rose, although “at least we’re having fun.” I never go into a shoot with a list of questions, but I usually have an idea of where I want to steer a show. But I realized I was at the helm of a rudderless ship and was at the mercy of a mighty comedy current. So I had little choice but to let them have their way with me, although I did put up a bit of a fight to maintain the appearance that I did have some control over my surroundings. During set-up, Jake decided to leave the dining room curtain open to capture the ambiance of Fornelletto. Big mistake. I didn’t realize my media colleagues had arrived as we were taping until I spotted Atlantic City Weekly editor Jeff Schwachter out of the corner of my eye. Attell noticed another media type watching our shoot through the window. “That guy thinks this is Good Morning America,” he said, a reference to the morning show’s street-level ABC studio. Finally — mercifully — Jake gave me the wrap sign, so I closed the show and let out a sigh of relief. I felt beaten up. As Jake and Tommy were packing up the gear, I wandered into the cocktail party, where the comedians were holding court with the media. I wanted to steer a wide berth around Breuer, but we were in tight quarters. “Hey,” Breuer said as I tried to surreptitiously squeeze past him to get a drink. “That was fun. Thanks for being a good sport.” I looked at him and laughed. “You mean I had a choice?” I said. “Not really,” he said.

HE BORGATA WINTER OPEN (Jan. 19-Feb.4) offers a bright spot in the bleak January weather of Atlantic City and, if tradition holds up, should be another stellar event for the casino. This year the open starts on a Wednesday with a $300,000 guaranteed prize pool, $500 + $60 at 11am, No Limit tournament taking place over Jan. 19-20 with two re-entries. There’s something about opening-day crowds at Borgata events that’s a little special. Last year, for example, more than 1,500 players turned out for the opening event. Even though that 2010 opener was a little less expensive, at $350 + $50, you can expect similar excitement at this year’s open. The entry-fee hike, which feeds the prize pools, is worth noting however. Last year’s opener had a $547K prize pool. The fact that the casino is guaranteeing this year’s event for a $300K prize pool seems like a pretty safe bet, but also hedges against a smaller field if the $150 entry fee hike scares away some players. Basically, however, the casino is simply reversing the order of its opening tournaments when last year the $500 + $60 tournament was event 2. This year’s event 2 is a $350 + $50. But clearly the casino is hoping that the opening-day magic gives the Winter Open a really high-prized and attention-getting first event. Looking at the entire open schedule, the Borgata also seems to be hoping that the economy is on the rebound and poker players who haven’t traveled to the Aussie Millions or the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure are getting a bit stir crazy and looking for some big-time action. All events this week have at least $300 buy-ins with Saturday’s event (Jan. 22) a $1,000 + $90 No Limit event. All the early events are also being played over two days. Of course, that doesn’t mean more casual players are being shut out. The Borgata always has an ambitious “secondary” schedule of lower buy-in tournaments and satellite tournaments. While the main schedule lists 26 events, the secondary event schedule lists 33 events. There are two secondary events each day until Jan. 28 when satellites for the Open championship kick in. Speaking of the championship, that event will be held Jan. 30 (day one is split between Jan. 30 and 31) and offers up a $2

million guaranteed prize pool. Last year’s championship was won by Jeff Madsen, who took home $625,000 for his first place finish. Madsen had a respectable 2010, but the Borgata win was by far his biggest cash and brought him to the about $3 million mark in tournament winnings. Madsen’s win came over Pennsylvania pro Sirous Jamshidi, who won about $368K. While the championship’s top finishers were mostly pros, one amateur, Jonathan “Barkley” Hamiliton, of Warwick, N.Y., did slip in with a fourth-place finish and a $165K cash, so there’s hope for everybody. The entire event drew 766 players and a prize pool of $2,527,800, so again the casino’s $2 million guarantee seems like a pretty safe bet. And remember, last year’s winter open was marred by a water-main break at the casino that left the Borgata without hot water for a couple of days. In the end, even cold showers couldn’t slow down the casino’s action. For a full schedule of the Borgata Open go to Atlantic City Weekly’s poker blog “The Real Deal” at acweekly.com/poker. In another story, Gov. Chris Christie has remained quiet on whether he intends to sign a bill that would make New Jersey the first state to allow and regulate online gaming within its borders. But what’s really amazing, is how quiet the media has been on the subject. Outside of Internet poker news sites, New Jersey’s move seems to be generating very little political discussion. But a lot of eyes are still on Christie as he has the bill. California, in particular, is also considering making the move. What’s at stake is a share of an estimated $4 billion a year bet by U.S. players through sites such as PokerStars and Full Tilt poker, which are based overseas. Christie could balk on the bill, especially if his legal advisors think the move would run afoul of federal restrictions on online gambling. The bill limits the gambling to New Jersey residents, however, which supporters say will keep it from coming under the federal restrictions. But considering that the bill could create 500 full-time jobs and prepare the state to act if the federal restriction is lifted, there’s a lot of reasons for Christie to sign the bill. In the meantime, poker players sit and wait. N

EFINITION OF A DRAG QUEEN? A man who likes to eat, drink, and be Mary! It may sound funny to some and it’s easy to crack a joke here and there, but until you get to an event such as this past weekend’s Miss’d America Pageant, you cannot imagine the talent, sincerity, and camaraderie that fills the room. I had the pleasure of attending the Boardwalk Empire themed event this year inside Atlantic City’s Boardwalk Hall and let me tell you; before I knew it I was screaming: “You go girl!� during the opening runway sequence and continued my shout-outs into the talent portion of the event. With production numbers under the Boardwalk Empress moniker, written and staged by Robert “Sandy Beach� Hitchen — Knockers Johnson during most of the show — the cast included such characters as Lucy Luckiano, Allie Capone, and contestants with names such as Miss Kitty Hiccups, Gusty Winds, Shi-Queeta Lee, Chi Chi Rodriguez, Phyl Craig, Dallas Dubois, Navaya Shay and Victoria Venom. Now I must say, before getting to the event early and mingling in the crowd of around 1,200 people for the pre-party, I thought the night could be a bit intimidating for us straight folk. But when it comes down to it, we are all people, and no matter what our sexual preference, we should always respect one another. Once I started mingling and talking to everyone it was a lot of fun and I knew the entire evening was going to be special. Especially since the theme of the event was a drag-show spoof of HBO’s Boardwalk Empire. Many people had on their best ’20s get ups, including that flapper look, which I love. We finally took our seats and were treated to a funny parody of the intro to Boardwalk Empire. The whole room burst into applause following the segment. We were all in sync with one another and so proud to be here in Atlantic City for the return of the Miss’d America Pageant. Atlantic City was where both the actual Miss America Pageant originated as well as — many decades later — the Miss’d America Pageant, which became a day-after Miss America tradition thanks to former Atlantic City Studio Six club — and community — leaders John Shultz and Gary Hill. Now that it’s back in full force and had a higher attendance than last year, maybe there is hope we will get the Miss America Pageant back in town as well.

But even if we don’t, as the evening’s stand-in host Suzanne Westenhoefer, dubbed as the funniest lesbian ever, said: “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but what happens in Atlantic City matters!� Sitting near the celebrity judges, it appeared they were having a blast along with the crowd. The judges included Diane Mitchell from 95.1 WAYV; Atlantic City historian Vicki Gold-Levi; Philadelphia Gay News publisher Mark Segal; the Village Voice’s Michael Musto; and local travel writer, literary agent, and professional poker player Sheree Bykofsky in the mix. Right after the program ended, I was able to score some behind-the-scenes information from Bykofsky. One story that Bykofsky shared was that Shi-Queeta, who lives in Washington, D.C., forgot to bring her Tina Turner wig to A.C., which, of course, was an integral part of her talent showcase, performing as Turner. So, she drove home three hours the night before and three hours back the morning of the pageant. Another insider secret that Bykofsky shared was that the Miss’d America winner doesn’t have to “pass� for a girl. The winner just has to have talent and exude likeability, eloquence, graciousness, and star quality. She added that, although the judges found a true winner this year, she enjoyed every single contestant’s performance. The Miss’d America pageant is just one small step in bringing awareness to the Gay and Lesbian community within the Greater Atlantic City area. And thanks to big sponsors such as Resorts Casino Hotel, The Greater Atlantic City GLBT Alliance, the Schultz-Hill Foundation and other Atlantic City casinos, restaurants, and businesses — including Atlantic City Weekly — this is sure to be an annual event as Atlantic City continues to grow towards becoming a yearround, world-wide tourism destination.

Salute to Mr. Soul

Celebrating what would have been music legend Sam Cooke’s 80th birthday – from an Atlantic City perspective. By Jeff Schwachter

A

j a n u a r y 2 0 , 2 0 1 1 / A C W e e k ly. c o m

ba n ner wi th the name S lappy White on it hung across Kentucky Avenue all summer. The late comedian and actor (who died in Brigantine in 1995) was booked for the entire season at Atlantic City’s famed Club Harlem. On this particular summer night, however — July 24, 1964, to be precise — hanging above the banner was yet another banner. It read: “Sam Cooke.” The 33-year-old soul pioneer, who was on the verge of cementing his place as one of the greatest entertainers in the world at the time, was booked at the club from July 23 to Aug. 5. It was his second consecutive summer at the club. After years of enormous recording success with songs he had written, recorded and performed around the world, now-classics such as the monumental hits “You Send Me,” “Cupid,” “Wonderful World,” “Twistin’ the Night Away” and “Chain Gang,” to name but a mere few, Cooke was invigorated by the rise of the Civil Rights movement at the time, and had penned what would become the movement’s anthem following his death, “A Change Is Gonna Come,” just months before. Sadly, Cooke wouldn’t live to see the end of the year – one of his most accomplished and prolific. The line of patrons waiting to get inside Club Harlem on this Friday night — a well-dressed crowd of both blacks and whites — stretched south down Kentucky Avenue towards Atlantic. Across the street, as on most summer nights, there was also a line waiting to get inside Grace’s Little Belmont, a lounge where Sammy Davis Jr.’s mother tended the bar. Davis was slated to appear at Club Harlem a few weeks after Cooke. Cars and taxis whizzed by dropping off club-goers. Elsewhere in the city, Ramsey Lewis was at the Wonder Gardens, the Cole Bros. were at The Gables, and, direct from Puerto Rico, Diablito and the Davalos Orchestra was booked at the Around-The-World Room on Albany Avenue. The Steel Pier was advertising the Beatles “sharing their first full-length hilarious action-packed film” on Aug. 5. Like several night spots in Atlantic City at the time, Club Harlem offered an assortment

of entertainment with summer-long acts that year such as Larry Steele’s revue “Smart Affairs of 1965,” which the headline act that week would essentially star in; the “Larry Steele Girls,” a group of gorgeous young dancers that worked seven days a week during the summer, usually until the next morning; Slappy White as emcee; and Johnny Lynch and his Orchestra. Club Harlem actually housed two showrooms — one up front, the cocktail lounge, where Chris Columbo led the house band behind Willis “Gator Tail” Jackson on this July night, and the main showroom in the back where patrons paid a cover fee to see the headlining acts. A week of shows went by before Atlantic City Press columnist Ted Schall offered a review of the scene happening over at Club Harlem in the July 29, 1964 edition. The tiny piece, entitled “Harlem Hit,” reads: “Larry Steele has mixed, blended and baked an entertainmentrich cake which he serves with a flourish at the Club Harlem in his ‘Smart Affairs of 1965’ [show]. Recording star Sam Cooke provides a delectable and flavorful icing. Ingredients follow a recipe of fast-faster-and torrid for the hard-working, well-drilled line of girls and boys dance and cavort about the Harlem stage with unbelievable energy.” Schall adds that the “lovely statuesque show girls add interest in the glamour department, helping to pace the show between solo spots.” The columnist singled out show girl Patti Harris for her “dancing segment” during a

“Caribbean spectacular,” and a few other acts and ended with: “Topping the bill is recording star Sam Cooke, who is at home in any mode [and] has the happy faculty of sweeping his audience with him into whatever mood his song dictates and during most of the stint, the mallets provided at the Harlem’s tables beat out a rhythmic accompaniment to his vocalizing.” Cooke appeared at Club Harlem with a band that included bongos, guitar and bass guitar (one of which was played by Bobby Womack, likely the bass, according to Cooke’s awardwinning biographer and music writer Peter Guralnick), with Lynch’s band filling in the holes for Cooke’s set. At the time, Cooke, who would have been 80 on Jan. 22, 2011, was at the height of his career. Nobody in the Club Harlem audience that summer would have guessed that he was only months away from his tragic, early death. A gospel sensation as a young man growing up in Chicago before venturing into the world of mid-1950s pop music, where he had unmatched success — and respect — as a black recording artist at the time, Cooke, according to Guralnick’s 2005 biography, the New York Times Notable Book of the Year, Dream Boogie: The Triumph of Sam Cooke, was a complex man. Known for his majestic, almost angelic voice, which never hit a bad note, Cooke was “one of the most phenomenal successes in the history of show business,” at the time, as the Press described him in a July 30, 1964 profile and

interview with the singer. He was not only a pioneer in the realm of soul music — he essentially created it — but a visionary who, by the time of his death on Dec. 11, 1964, had started his own publishing and recording companies, realizing the importance of owning his own songs. It was something that was very rare in 1964, especially for a black artist. Months before the Club Harlem shows, in January 1964 Cooke, an avid reader of James Baldwin and other modern voices of the time, according to Guralnick, recorded a song that he had just written at the end of 1963. It would become one of his most popular songs, even though he rarely performed it live. Inspired by and in response to the “protest singers” of the early 1960s and the whole Hootenanny scene, Cooke penned “A Change Is Gonna Come.” He performed the song on the Tonight Show in February 1964, and according to Guralnick, who describes the events during the show taping in spectacular detail in his book, it was a milestone for Cooke, his bandmates, his friends, his manager at the time Allen Klien, and for America. The larger role that Sam Cooke played in the Civil Rights movement of the mid-to-late 1960s, Guralnick says during a recent phone interview for Atlantic City Weekly, “was in writing a song that became the theme song for the Civil Rights movement, ‘A Change Is Gonna Come,’ which has persisted to this day as an emblem of change and as a ... symbol of the movement as it’s continued.” The single was never released during Cooke’s lifetime, but it was no secret that during his last two years alive he was becoming increasingly aware and responsive with regard to America’s Civil Rights movement and the segregation and racism that perpetuated it. In the autumn of 1963, Cooke was arrested in Shreveport, La., after refusing to leave a “brand-new Holiday Inn,” when the “man at the desk” said there were “no vacancies,” even though Cooke had called earlier and made reservations for he and his wife Barbara, according to Guralnick’s book. Following the historic March on Washington on Aug. 28, 1963, featuring Martin Luther King Jr., as well as a host of musicians, Cooke was given a copy of the new Freewheelin’ Bob

Dylan album and was blown away by Dylan’s song “Blowin’ in the Wind.� As Guralnick writes in Dream Boogie: “He was so carried away with the message [of the song], and the fact that a white boy had written it, that he [said] he was almost ashamed not to have written something like that himself. It wasn’t the way Dylan sang, he told Bobby Womack. It was what he had to say.� Prior to his Atlantic City engagement, Cooke made a triumphant return to New York’s Copacabana. According to Guralnick, Cooke’s stint there in the late 1950s was poorly received and the feeling stuck with Cooke until he put “the crowd away� at the venue upon his 1964 return. Working out the Copa show for a while with Sammy Davis Jr.’s arranger, Cooke and his partners cooked up a show that still sounds amazing 47 years after it was recorded for the 1965 Sam Cooke at the Copa (RCA) album. On the record, which is among four Cooke albums that are currently being offered in high-resolution digital audio files via an agreement between ABKCO Records and HDTracks — the others are Keep Movin’ On, Ain’t That Good News, and the career retrospective (that includes the hard to find recording of “A Change Is Gonna Come�) Portrait of a Legend 1951-1964 — Cooke performs both “Blowin’ in the Wind� and “If I Had a Hammer,� among his hits new and old. A couple weeks later he would start his Summer 1964 residency at Club Harlem. Guralnick says he doubts very much that Cooke would have played the same set that he performed at the Copacabana while in Atlantic City. The author says the same about Cooke’s Club Harlem stint the summer beforehand — when he was booked July 11-17 — in relation to his now-famous 1963 “chitlin circuit� gig at the Harlem Square Club in Miami, Fla. The gig was captured and released on the 1985 album Sam Cooke Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963: One Night Stand, which captures “a harder,

story on acweekly.com to see a photo gallery featuring Sam Cooke at Club Harlem in 1964, and read about “The Bob Dylan-Sam Cooke Connections,� as well as the source materials and references for this story, including further reading and listening suggestions.

show and Cooke’s stint at Club Harlem a few weeks later, Guralnick adds, “The show he did at the Copa was completely different from any show he had done before. ... You know, fully orchestrated and there was a lot of trauma putting that together, which is in the book, but the thing is he went almost immediately following the Copa to Club Harlem. And the interesting thing is that [his manager] Allen Klein ... was responsible for getting him back into the Copa — it was Sam’s long-held dream to return to the Copa and triumph. And Allen, who had recently become his manager, supported [his return to the Copa] all the way. ... But Allen went to see Sam at Club Harlem and said the show at Club Harlem was way beyond the Copa show. As much as the Copa show was hailed [Cooke went] way beyond it in energy and connection with the audience.� The repertoire may have been similar, adds Guralnick, although not identical. “I would guess that Sam would’ve put more of an emphasis on songs like ‘Bring it on Home to Me’ or ‘Chain Gang’ [at Club Harlem],� he says. “I’m sure he would’ve [sung] a lot of those same songs [but] considerably more down home and considerably more soulful.�

Sam & the Show Girls

Cooke was no stranger to the Jersey Shore, having worked joints down in Wildwood as far back as 1958. Guralnick’s book notes that he played the Hurricane Room in Wildwood the same summer he debuted at Club Harlem. It was during that first Club Harlem stint that he fell for one of Larry Steele’s dancers, a gorgeous young woman named Betty Jo Spyropulos. “He tried to flirt with me in 1963, but I had a boyfriend that summer,� Spyropulos tells Atlantic City Weekly during a recent phone interview from her Long Island home. “In 1964 I was supposed to have that same boyfriend, but it [didn’t work out,] so Sam and I got pretty close that summer.� Patti Harris, now an Atlantic City icon, veteran dancer, educator, artist and visionary, was a young (and also gorgeous) dancer at Club Harlem in the early 1960s. By 1964 Steele had her name advertised as one of the dancers to catch at his club. Although Harris, a dancer and instructor still based in Atlantic City, doesn’t remember too much about appearing in the show with Cooke, she does remember that the superstar had bought a dog for one of the other dancers while he appeared at the club in 1964. Yvonne Walton concurs.

grittier version of the Sam Cooke that [was] known from his records,� as Guralnick writes in the original liner notes for the album. “The thing is,� says Guralnick, “is that the Harlem Square [recording] was at the beginning of 1963 and he had brought a completely revamped show into the Harlem Square after touring England with Little Richard and just seeing the energy that Little Richard put into his show and the way that Little Richard just commanded attention and took over the audience. So Sam and his business partner J.W. Alexander flew home from England, went to California, worked out a show, which is essentially what the show at the Harlem Square is. And they had debuted it at the Apollo [in Harlem] in [late] 1962. I would doubt very much that he did that exact show at the Club Harlem [during his engagement there in 1963 from July 11-17]. From what I understand the Club Harlem was much more of an uptown [club], what we think of as a Las Vegas show. So it would surprise me if Sam had the identical show to what he was doing at the Harlem Square at the Club Harlem.� With regard to the summer of ‘64 Copa

NE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT dining regionally in these darker months of the year is that many fine restaurants, typically booked solid during the summer season, are readily available. Such was the case during a recent weekend visit to Atlantic City’s respected Italian operation Girasole. Open for nearly two decades on Pacific Avenue, at the foot of the Ocean Club Condominiums, Girasole (or “sunflower� in Italian) has earned a solid reputation with visitors and locals alike. In fact, it’s a favored locale for casino hosts to send preferred customers who opt to dine off-site when visiting Atlantic City. The staff, warm and congenial, graciously greeted us immediately upon entry — a great first impression on a frosty, midwinter evening. Perusing the lengthy menu, we began our meal with a signature item, Carpaccio Girasole. From a list of 10 raw or very rare proteins, this featured thin, nearly translucent squares of filet. Served on a warmed plate, the pink beef was accompanied by a central saute of artichokes with tiny pencil-point asparagus, topped by shaved Parmigiano Reggiano and a drizzle of truffle oil. The confluence of those elements nearly melted into the prime meat, producing both a lovely aroma as well as deep, resonant flavors. Our dining partner went the vegetable route, selecting the insalata tropicale. This brought a gorgeous plate with three slices each of green apple,

avocado, grapefruit and mango ringing its four corners. Within the middle, fresh crisp greens were tossed with a mildly sweet raspberry vinaigrette. Taking advantage of our server’s suggestion, we opted for a pairing of pastas as a middle course. Pappardelle, broad, house-made handcrafted noodles, were blended with whole shiitake and porcini mushrooms. The sauce, finished with butter, created a silky sheen to coat the simple, beautiful ingredients. Our other choice, carbonara, brought that bacon-and-eggy blend tossed with thin spaghetti. Strips of Proscuitto blended throughout provided just the right

amount of salty kick and tasty chew. As a main course, our companion went with another house specialty, Pollo Girasole. This composition mirrored the appearance of an actual sunflower. Chicken breast, sliced and layered with two cheeses — mozzarella and fontina — pancetta and a colorful dice of red and yellow peppers. Fanned artistically across the plate in a semicircle, the vivid colors and varied textures turned simple chicken into something truly memorable. Highlighting our visit was a nightly addition, from more than a half dozen recited by our server at the beginning

of the evening. Langoustine are spiny lobsters whose habitat spreads from the waters of the North Sea down Europe to the Adriatic. Commonly referred to by Spaniards and Italians as “scampi,â€? they are the crustaceans of choice for that traditional preparation. Pink-orange in color, langoustines possess an incredibly sweet essence. Their chunky white meat, easily overcooked, was treated with extraordinary care by Girasole’s kitchen. Lightly seasoned and breaded, four whole lobsters — imagine bigger than the largest shrimp — were split and arrayed across a wide serving plate. The eight pieces of sizzling seafood were eye-catching and juicy. Hints of an almost floral essence filled the air and our palates. This, my food friends, is as good as it gets. We should also add that Girasole is one of less than half-dozen restaurants we know of hereabouts that ever feature langoustine on their bill of fare (keeping in mind it was a nightly addition; we’d suggest you call in advance to inquire about availability). Desserts, true to Italian sensibilities, showed restraint coupled with creativity. Like purse-shaped apple tart, served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, both floating in a pool of pretty, pale caramel. Or my zuccotto — a chocolate/hazelnut ice cream cake, presented with potent, bittersweet chocolate sauce. ĂŠN

“When I went to the wake in Chicago, and I got to see Sam through his glass-top coffin, one of his cousins was there and he told me that the story of Cooke’s death was false and that he’d been dead for a longer time than what was believed,” says Spyropulos. To this day she doesn’t think that Cooke could have been killed by a $3-a-night California motel manager (Bertha Lee Franklin) because the two, as accused, got into a very violent altercation. “I have so many good memories of Sam,” says Spyropulos. “And I always defend him because of how his death was reported. He was always a gentleman and so clean cut.” Although she spent a lot time with Cooke where he was staying in Atlantic City that summer, Spyropulos doesn’t remember where in

The photo features (r to l) Club Harlem dancers Betty Jo Spyropulos and Patti Harris, along with Sam Cooke and an unidentified friend. (Courtesy of Betty Jo Spyropulos). check to get whatever we wanted and I went to buy the dog with Sam’s driver — I forget his name — after we dropped him off at the photo shoot in New York.” According to Guralnick, this would not have been a rare thing for Cooke to have “girls” in the many cities he performed. “Sam and his wife Barbara had a pretty open marriage,” he says. Spyropulos remembers that she and the driver picked up Cooke after getting the dog “for about $150.” They named the dog Lady Cookie Harlem the II, of New York. “That was the name. It was registered with the Kennel Club,” Spyropulos recalls. Spyropulos tells Atlantic City Weekly that she doesn’t believe that what has been the long-time story of Cooke’s death — which a jury declared a “justifiable homicide” in the official court case — is the real story behind the entertainer’s murder.

the resort it was. She does remember going to some off-the-beaten path after-hours joint that Cooke knew of, to get breakfast. “I had been working in Atlantic City for several summers and thought I knew of all the places to go but Sam, one time, took me to this place to have breakfast. It was an after-hours place, but it was like at somebody’s house.” Spyropulos says that, sensing that the superstar was interested in her, she used to always pop in to Cooke’s dressing room between sets to let him know she’d be at the bar. The dancers were not permitted to leave the premises of the club. “Five minutes later, he’d just appear right next to me at the bar,” says Spyropulos. “I saw that he had a liking for me so I would do it all week. We never got to talk much at the bar though, because there were so many people trying to talk to Sam. People would just come out of nowhere.”

Spyropulos also remembers the night Cooke’s wife Barbara came to see the show. “His wife came to one of the ‘64 shows,” says Spyropulos. “And before that I would always wait in the wings of the stage and hold a towel for him. But the night his wife was there I didn’t do it because I didn’t think it was right. And he came running from the stage all the way upstairs to the dressing room, put the towel in my hand, and led me back down to the stage.” There were two headliner shows a night at Club Harlem. One started at 10:30pm and one at 1:30am. Nearby a BBQ joint called Sapp’s was busy, as was the club across the street, Grace’s Little Belmont. “Pop Williams [who was an owner of Club Harlem] didn’t want us to go to the other bars,” recalls Walton. “One time, my mom was in town and we went over to the Little Belmont. And later Pop said, ‘You know you’re not supposed to be doing that.’ And he was serious.” The businessman wanted to keep all the money on his side of Kentucky Avenue. And on most nights during the summer season the avenue (dubbed “KY & the Curb”) was packed with party seekers of all stripes. Blacks, whites, men, women, all stood in line wearing their suits, ties, heels and stockings. “The whole street was filled with people all night long,” remembers Walton. “People and all the entertainers in town would all come down and just have a good time. Kentucky Avenue was the place to go in A.C. Nobody was afraid of anybody hurting them or harming them. It was like New York City.” The action, says Walton, went all night long at the club, and nearly every entertainer who came to town “had to make it over to Club Harlem” at some point. Atlantic City historian Vicki Gold-Levi has the banner that hung across Kentucky Avenue with Sam Cooke’s name on it (“It’s more like a canvas material than a regular banner,” she says) and she is in the process of donating it to the National Museum of African-American History and Culture, which is being developed by the Smithsonian to be built on the Mall in Washington, D.C. Meanwhile, Cooke, whose “brilliant smile ... could disarm both knaves and kings,” as Guralnick writes in Dream Boogie, lives on in his music, his extraordinary life story, and in the memories of those who were close to him. Cooke didn’t live to see the genre of music he had given birth to — inspiring Otis Redding, Solomon Burke, Al Green, Joe Tex and countless other African-American singers who had strong gospel-singing backgrounds, were well-versed in the blues and R&B, and who would forge the path of soul music in the country for decades to come — but it’s nice to think that he may have been staring down from heaven smiling on that cold November 2007 night in Chicago when President-elect Barack Obama referred to his song “A Change Is Gonna Come” during his acceptance speech at Grant Park. n

arrived in the resort in early June and then rehearsed for three weeks until the show opened at Club Harlem in late June, running through Labor Day. The dancers worked seven nights a week until 6am, including Sunday’s legendary 6am “Breakfast Show,” which would attract all of the entertainers in town that weekend. “He bought me a Yorkshire Terrier, which we named Cookie and I remember driving up to New York City from Atlantic City in a Rolls Royce that Allen Klien gave Sam for the Copa gig [pictured on page 577 of Dream Boogie] because Sam had a photo shoot or something. “I was about 24 years old, and had worked with many stars at the club by that time, and I wasn’t really impressed with his Rolls Royce and things like that.

Walton was going to school at Morgan State in 1964. That summer she was brought to Atlantic City to perform in a dance production for which she was never paid. “I needed to find work to pay for the apartment I was renting in Atlantic City that summer,” she tells Atlantic City Weekly. First hired as a cigarette girl, Walton too became one of the Club Harlem show girls. Once the dancers in Larry Steele’s dance production, who would open all the headliner bills and then be asked by management to sit at the bar so that men could buy them drinks all night and boost the booze revenue, told Steele that the cigarette girl Walton could dance, she was hired instantly and would go on to dance at Club Harlem every summer through her college years. “The main show in the back room would start at 8pm,” recalls Walton, who now resides in Atco, N.J. “We [Larry Steele’s dancers] would open every show. We’d work seven nights a week, including the Breakfast shows [6am every Sunday morning] on the weekend. “You had to dance or participate in every show. You didn’t have a choice.” Walton didn’t drink and says that she never liked to be touched or “have a strange man put his arm around my shoulder.” So, instead of sitting pretty at the bar with the rest of the dancers following the end of the show, she would quietly sneak upstairs and hide in the dressing room to read a book. The back room — the main room — in Club Harlem could hold a couple hundred patrons, recalls Walton. In 1964 when Cooke was in town, the house was always packed, she says. “We enjoyed working with him very much,” says Walton. “He was such a nice person, you know? Really, really nice and very friendly with everybody. We all took pictures with him. I had my roommate from college come down and my mom came down. They were so excited. He even took a picture with me.” Walton remembers that “his manager,” Klien, took some of the dancers out to dinner at a “nice restaurant.” “And [Cooke] would always say, ‘Hi girls, how you doing?’ He was very gregarious, just a really nice person. He never got out of [line.]” Like Harris, Walton remembers Cooke buying a little dog for one of the dancers. “I think Betty Jo had a closer relationship with Sam,” says Walton. “She was just so pretty; all the entertainers at the club were crazy about her. And she was so personable and nice.” Betty Jo Spyropulos grew up in Indiana, where a producer caught wind of her talent and put her in a production that wound up traveling to Michigan. The show included the Four Tops, Jackie Wilson and other luminaries. She came to Atlantic City in 1960 to work with Larry Steele and spent five years working the summer season (June to Labor day) at Club Harlem. She says she struck up a close relationship with Cooke during that summer of 1964 residency. The dancers in Larry Steele’s annual revue

WALTZ THROUGH TIME

There She Was

Pageantry, pulchritude, and political correctness has long marked Miss America. By Jim Waltzer COURTESY OF ATLANTIC CITY FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY / VICKI GOLD-LEVI

E

VERY NIGHT, THEY WALKED the long runway — the statuesque queen in her dazzling duds, and the diminutive page in dutiful pursuit. The throngs beyond the footlights oohed and ogled. Television was not yet ready for prime time, but on the final night of the 1946 Miss America festivities, the newsreel cameras showed up and the Pageant pooh-bah cautioned her dynamic duo. “Don’t trip,” warned executive secretary Lenora Slaughter, whom one writer described as “wearing velvet gloves over her iron fists.” Five-year-old Vicki Gold didn’t trip, but she stumbled. Tethered to the train of the reigning Miss America’s bounteous robe, she quickly regained her footing and her plumed tricorne remained fast on her little head. Bess Myerson, moments from relinquishing her crown, glanced over her shoulder to be sure all was well with her young charge. “She [Myerson] was concerned only about me,” says the former child star, now Vicki Gold-Levi, author and Atlantic City historian/ambassador. (She is a consultant on HBO’s Boardwalk Empire.) “She was ethereal . . . breathtakingly gorgeous, extremely smart, and beautiful on the inside.” It was the outside that had mesmerized the judges at the Warner Theater, where, with Convention Hall still occupied by the World War II effort, Bronx-born Myerson captured the crown in 1945. Now, a year later, the five-foot-eleveninch beauty was still the showstopper, her tanned face radiant, her multilayered

gown and red-velvet robe with ermine trim sweeping the floorboards — Glinda the Good Witch, remembers Gold, at five the cutest Munchkin of them all. For one evening, cavernous Convention Hall (now Boardwalk Hall) was transformed into the Land of Oz. The Pageant’s origins were less exalted. A quarter century before the Vickiand-Bess show, Atlantic City’s ever-eager Chamber of Commerce launched a beauty contest in the wake of an earlier world war. Only eight lasses vied for the prize awarded to pigtailed, 16-year-old Margaret Gorman, nearly a foot shorter than Myerson. The contestants had gathered in September 1921 at the Garden Pier, where they stood in tank tops, skirts, and high-top shoes before the judges. Someone suggested that the win-

ner be called “Miss America.” The promotion filled local coffers as seashore business leaders had met their mission of extending the summer season beyond Labor Day. The following year, the beauty lineup spiked sevenfold, most of the contestants representing cities rather than states. Gorman (of

Washington D.C.’s Margaret Gorman (pictured) was Miss America 1921. Washington, D.C.) returned to defend her crown and, after donning racy garters to lead a procession along the beach, was dethroned by an Ohioan two years younger. Fifteen-year-old Mary Campbell hailed from Columbus, and sported a dimpled smile and advanced curves. Miss Campbell repeated her success in 1923, as the accompanying Boardwalk “Rolling Chair Parade” expanded and the Pageant was extended to five days. The formula for the future was in place. Still, rumors of judges on the take and compromised contestants nearly derailed Miss America in the late 1920s and early 1930s; the Pageant, in fact, was AWOL for six of those years until Ms. Slaughter arrived on the scene in ’35 to provide backbone and organization. In 1940, the show moved to Convention Hall, the Boardwalk behemoth that hosted all manner of outsized events.

“My dad always had offices at the Hall,” says Gold-Levi. “It was my home.” “Dad” was photographer Al Gold, who had shot the inaugural Pageant in 1921 and, by the time his young daughter negotiated the runway with Bess Myerson, was known as Atlantic City’s “Chief Photographer.” By then, the Pageant had matured. Eligibility was for one year only — no more defending champions and two-time winners. Boardwalk floats had grown grand. Contestants displayed their performing chops and waxed cerebral, in addition to filling out swimsuits and evening gowns. Myerson, who played Grieg’s Piano Concerto for her American Idol predecessors, became the Pageant’s first scholarship recipient. Television quickly educated a larger audience. TV first made Miss America a must-see in 1954 and, the following year, new MC Bert Parks and the final ceremony’s crowning ballad (“There she is, Miss America . . . There she is, your ideal”) became staples of the telecast. If the Pageant suffered from an identity crisis — was it about sex or wholesomeness? — and modern protestors derided it, it nonetheless secured a berth in the national consciousness. “It’ll say on my tombstone that I was Bess Myerson’s page,” jokes Gold-Levi. The Pageant lives still, though it has shifted sands. Last Saturday, Jan. 15, it was held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, 90 years after sinking its feet in the seashore in Atlantic City. N

‘IRRESISTIBLE’ MARC ANTONELLI

ISING STAR IS A TERM BANDIED about rather casually in this era of instant stardom via a viral video on the Internet. However, there are still some performers who take the oldfashioned approach. Just such a talented rising star is Marc Antonelli, whose background includes high school musical theater, the Boston Conservatory and the acclaimed Berklee College of Music. Along the way, with the help of various vocal coaches, he honed his repertoire of opera, jazz standards and a side of rock ’n’ roll. Just 23, Antonelli began his Atlantic City singing career last April as a regular at the Tango’s Lounge in the Tropicana. By October he was given a chance to play the Tropicana Showroom with a show called One On One With Marc Antonelli. He did so well, the casino offered him a chance to repeat and expand his headliner showcase this winter. Unknown to Irresistible: The Music of Marc Antonelli opened this week. Atlantic City Weekly had the chance to ask Antonelli about this career and his hopes for in the future.

Showroom last October. How is this new show different? Unknown to Irresistible is rich and complex. It runs the gamut of musical genres. The show offers songs from Frank Sinatra, to pop hits such as Engelbert Humperdinck’s “Man Without Love,” to the songs of the greatest tenors of our time — Mario Lanza, Luciano Pavarotti, and How did you get started singing and who are your musical Andrea Bocelli. Additionally, it includes songs from Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera. Broadway dancers influences? I participated in musical theatre in high school and and background vocalists enrich the experience. The a chance meeting with opera singer Martina Ferrante show is versatile, hip, and, at times, edgy. instilled a love of singing. From that moment on, the torch was lit. Many other individuals influenced me What excites you the most about all this? also: Enrico Caruso, Mario Lanza. Luciano Pavarotti, Everything! I am honored to perform at the Tropicana Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, Josh Groban, Steve and in the same city as such greats as Sammy Davis Jr., Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney, and Perry, and Michael Buble.

My repertoire includes opera, classical ballads, Voice has the power to move people. I consider it a privilege to have the opportunity to do that. My hope rock and roll, jazz, and pop. for the future is that God continues to extend that You were first given an opportunity to sing in the Tropicana privilege to me. N

Back in July 2003 when the Borgata opened, an unknown singer became the first performer to headline at the casino’s Music Box. I had never heard of him, but after a few songs I knew Michael Bublé was a special talented destined for stardom. Marc Antonelli is not quite at the same level that Bublé was in 2003, but he certainly has the potential to make his mark in the musical world. The biggest compliment I can give Unknown to Irresistible: The Music of Marc Antonelli is that it lives up to the title. Antonelli is indeed a special talent and his new show at the Trop showcases both his talent and his unpretentious and likable personality. Backed by two musicians, Jon Pruitt and Kit Worton, with two background singers and four excellent dancers, Antonelli presents an evening a swinging jazz standards, opera, pop and a little rock ’n’ roll. Besides his musical accompaniment, he stood in front of a video screen that illustrated his various songs, be it pictures of Ol’ Blue Eyes when he did “Come Fly With Me,” or various chessboards when he sang “Anthem” from the musical Chess. Sometimes the video background was as simple as the sheet music for the song, but it all worked without distracting the audience from Antonelli’s vocals. The show was nicely balanced. Jazz standards like “Cry Me A River” and ‘Come Fly With Me” were followed by a dash of Engelbert Humperdinck pop (“A Man Without Love”) and the soaring tenor and emotionalism of “Bring Him Home” from Les Miserables. Later in the evening a medley of pop and jazz tunes — “Save the Last Dance For Me,” “Sway” and “It Better Be Tonight” — was followed by the big finish, paying tribute to his passion for opera with “Nessa Dorma” from Puccini’s Turandat and “Music of the Night” from Phantom of the Opera. In between songs Antonelli presented just enough banter with the crowd to get a feel for his background, his unpretentious and humble mindset and his rooting interests in football. Unfortunately on this night, the Boston native got the bad news from New York Jets fans in the crowd that his New England Patriots were going down. I’ll bet the standing ovation he received at the end of his performance took the sting out of the loss. — LH

Oscar Tout Sheet

Predictions for the 2011 Academy Award nominations By Lori Hoffman

T

he ratings were up last year for the Academy Awards, the best since 2005, so the addition of five more selections to the best picture race did its job, getting more people interested in the Oscars. This year, the popularity of The Social Network with both critics and audiences should continue to boost the appeal of the Academy Awards for younger viewers. Here are my annual Oscar nomination predictions in the form of a racetrack tout sheet. These are my odds not the Vegas line. The nominations will be announced Tuesday, Jan. 25, at 8:30am on the morning news programs, and the Academy Awards will be presented on Sunday, Feb. 27, 8pm on ABC, hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway.

year, but Golden Globe winner Melissa Leo is the frontrunner. My choice would be the brilliant Dale Dickey as an Ozark matriach in Winter’s Bone but she doesn’t have a chance. Leo is a well liked veteran and was terrific in The Fighter.
