Prince, Mariah Carey, Quincy Jones and Smokey Robinson turned out to help the theater celebrate its 75th anniversary.

The Apollo is famous for helping to launch the careers of stars like Ella Fitzgerald, James Brown, Billie Holiday and Michael Jackson.

After she was inducted into the Apollo Theater's Legends Hall of Fame, Labelle said, "The Apollo is a national treasure, I'm overwhelmed and honored to be recognized on this stage."
