In the photo above Jame Foxx appears to be resurrecting the spirit of Ray Charles (again). Peep the glasses, the smile, the stance. Wow…all captured in an instant on film!  Foxx along host Steve Harvey appeared with such icons as Prince, Patti LaBelle and Bill Cosby to celebrate the Apollo Theatre’s 75th anniversary.

Quincy Jones and Patti LaBelle were each inducted into the Apollo Legends Hall of Fame and the Ruby Dee and Ollie Davis Arts and Humanitarian Award was presented to Bill and Camille Cosby.

Check out a few photos from the historic event:
