-The '''Madison Night Spot''' was a night club, dance hall and juke joint on [[Bessemer Super Highway]] from the 1940s to the 1960s. It was a regular stop on the "Chitlin' Circuit" and catered mainly to African American audiences. Because of the scarcity of motels open to Black touring performers, the venue operated a guest house for overnight stays.
-Notable acts that performed at the Madison Night Spot have included Bobby "Blue" Bland, James Brown, Ray Charles, B. B. King, Howlin' Wolf, Louis Jordan and Little Richard.
-The building burned to the ground in [[1967]].
