Oct 01, 2010 | 4:59 pmCamelot Inn on Quentin Road in Brooklyn NY was my home. It was the greatest club. I saw The Trammps (20x), Calhoon (20x), Gloria Gaynor, Frankie Valli And The Four Seasons, Tommy James And The Shondells, Gary US Bonds, Andrea True Connection, Morningside Drive, Hokis Pokis, Crown Heights Affair, Mighty Clouds of Joy, The Joneses, Vicki Sue Robinson, Musique, The Drifters, and so many more groups. I will never forget Earl Young from the Trammps walking around the club between shows in his bath robe teaching everyone the bus stop. I remember Don the bouncer at the door and Big Jim (he was giant). They kept the club very calm. LOL.

Aug 05, 2008 | 3:01 pmI lived on 33rd & Quentin in the 70s. The had a great statue of a knight on a horse over the entrance. I remember Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge, Tiny Tim, Jackie Wilson, Gary US Bonds and loads of others playing there. My parents went there in the early 50s but it had a different name then. I recently met Gary US Bonds and he remembered it well. All mobbed up he said!
