Showtime at the Apollo Intro

[@shaylabrewer5]

I miss the 90s, best time to be a child

[@kennethd7864]

Shayla Brewer facts! Da world has changed b4 our eyes

[@andreabaker6182]

Lol you said it, sister.

[@chriscampbell5538]

Facts!

[@Jay42000]

Yup, the absolute best.

[@brandonwilliams9353]

U meant da 80s

[@mrzsincere5980]

This was the best theme song opening for a show. I'm 37 years old, I grew up watching this show every Saturday night. Stayed up late just to watch it. The dancers are beautiful, and the song is awesome

[@unapologetictv5513]

Me too lol.

[@mohara1984]

Hell yea boo! That shit was lit and today my bday and I’m 37 too!

[@elvisq34]

When you heard this song playing you ran to that TV and knew your Saturday night ended with a bang 😂

[@RickBeatsWorld]

As much as I fawn over Late Night programming...like to an obsession, I always forget how black people just do it better. This is all the pomp and circumstance of Big Time Sho Biz that I was missing. I happy to have remembered how good this was.

[@TheAngryCorner]

Intro still gets me hype to this day! Currently all seasons are available on Tubi in their entirety 😁 36 yrs old

[@Josh_Pierce]

The real struggle as a ‘90s kid was staying up late on a Saturday night to watch Apollo only to find out the special guests were wack. You had to be there😂

[@blackcommunion3820]

Exactly 👍🏾 😅😅😅

[@OurKindofEntertainment]

Just hearing this theme takes me back to childhood when staying awake past 11 P.M. or until midnight was a challenge haha

[@glezard212]

Your mom tells you to go to bed but she secretly hears this at night time so she lets you stay up for a while longer before saying. "Boy you better be asleep"

[@Bricks_shakur]

1am greatness

[@Redman9250]

This was my grandmother's favorite show. The theme brings back a lot of memories. 🙏

AS A KID GROWING UP IN THE 80'S & 90'S SATURDAY MORNINGS WERE FOR SOUL TRAIN, BUT SATURDAY NIGHTS WERE FOR SHOWTIME AT THE APOLLO. FOR ME THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO MY YOUTH. WHAT TIME TO BE ALIVE.

[@brentduanefoster]

This theme song went SO HARD!!!! Man, I miss my childhood.

[@jessicakelley2566]

Aww the memories 😔 I watched every Saturday night

[@christopherfluhr4239]

"Soul Train" 🚋 and "Showtime at the Apollo" was a Saturday ritual back in the 90's/early 00's for us millennial people under 40. I used to watch "Walker, Texas Ranger" 🥋🤠🔫🛻 at 10pm on CBS 👁 and then leave it on the channel to wait until 11:35 for this to locally come on right after the 11pm 🕚 news at 11:30 pm. My childhood memories, a much simpler time!!! ❤

Why this theme song go crazy in 2022..

[@TigsNYC]

As a 97' baby and a Harlem girl myself, I used to stay up late to watch Showtime At The Apollo as a child. It used to come on right after Saturday Night Live on WNBC Channel 4 here in NYC. That show and Soul Train were the best to enjoy my Saturdays as a child!

[@Hscott410_]

Wow this take me back to my childhood in the projects, saturday nights with the family in the 90s 😂😂

[@devinwilliams400]

I used to watch this and Soul Train every Saturday nights. Oh, greater memories. Both of them are my favorites. What I really enjoyed about this show, is not only booing them bad amateur acts off that legendary stage, is that curly-haired lady by the name of Ms. Eva Isaac who be jumpin, screamin, gyrating her hips and rubbing on the R&B male balladeers such as Keith Washington, Keith Sweat, Full Force and many others. She was very fun to watch.

[@memremcneil4967]

I remember this theme song as a kid, and Everytime I heard this song and saw the dancers my body would get chills all over....I never knew who the man was that sung the song when the dancers came out, but all I knew that every thing and everyone was all so coordinated so well and it made me feel alive....Good memories!!!!

[@allsmilez2day]

So nostalgic 😍

[@royking7607]

Throw back frfr 😵😵😵

[@pancakemuffinberry21]

7 o'clock on Saturday nights was when my mom would pop popcorn and she, my dad, my sister, and I would jump in front of the tv and flip to our local ABC affiliate to watch Apollo. We'd laugh, talk, and just plain have a fun time watching the show! It was the one of the few times during the week where we'd watch something together. Even as an adult I still remember those times together. I miss those days!

[@markasflood8196]

Oh Wow... Sounded Kinda Fun

[@jamieakagibby]

I went to the Apollo Theater while on a school trip in 2011, and I got to rub the tree of hope, it was such a surreal experience to be in a place that many legends have performed at...

[@RegalCandy]

I miss this!

[@saucers79]

I never appreciated how freaking classy this opening is. The transition to the Apollo dancers is so cool.

Saturday night memories.

[@Mr.Memphis10]

Memories!

[@DJDizzyStorms]

This was the show you had to watch on a Friday night. The moment 9:00 rolled around you stopped whatever it was you were doing & called your friends & let them know that "Showtime At The Apollo" was on. Sometimes you'd have to race home from where ever it was you were at.

[@shaylabrewer5]

oh wow, so many memories.....

[@renaldolamar]

I can remember watching this show as a kid good times I miss the 90's

[@kdiang03]

The Apollo dancers where everything!!!

[@anonnumber8019]

Loved this when I was younger. Have to admit, I never noticed the male dancers til the end and I always wondered, do they just come out and put their hands in the air? lol. I realize now it was probably because of the camera shots.

[@eugenemckinney8736]

On Sept 12, 1987 It's Showtime at the Apollo broadcasted on CBS 42 WBMG in Birmingham Alabama As I'm just starting the second grade, I started watching this show every nights on Saturdays and still to this day, I remember the theme song and those lyrics I always came for the performances of artists and of course the laughable Amateur Night segment with the late Sandman Sims to get rid of the ones with bad talent everytime you heard that siren 🚨 then afterwards KiKi Shepard comes out and pick who's the best or worst Then by around I think 1994 or 95, they started adding the segment for kids and at the end of the day, they'll pick either one or two or even a tie This is why Showtime at the Apollo has always been my favorite.
