Little Richard played Lubbocks Cotton Club in 1955, as did Elvis and Buddy Holly. It was an integrated audience. I was selling quarts of beer for a dollar for these Hispanic bootleggers. A fight broke out between the bouncers led by James Witt and the bootleggers. Witt was stabbed in the side. He got a board and was beating up a man sitting in a car. James had him by the wrist of the hand he had the gun in. When shots rang out, I gave up my roll as a spectator. I was separated by my buddies and had to walk home through the Flats, the black area. The old Cotton Club was at 50th and Railroad Avenue. https://youtube/watch?v=jqxNSvFMkag
