Send For The Sandman! 9 Celebs Who Got Rejected Or Booed Off The Apollo Stage Before Making It Big

- By

Luther Vandross

Hoping to have some solo success after being a big hit in local talent shows with his group, Shades of Jade, Vandross took his iconic voice at the age of 18 to the Apollo Theater. Unfortunately, the crowd could never get down with his silky smooth voice for some reason, and after five attempts, the “House Is Not A Home Singer” won amateur night 0 times. Maybe it was his song choices? Despite all that, he licked his wounds, sucked it up and continued on with his hopes of making it big in the music industry, and he eventually won those haters in the audience, and millions of other people over with his music.
