Talk:Cotton Club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is there lots of other nightclubs besides the one in New York City and the one mentioned in Portland, Oregon? if there is, make a disambiguation page.
- There was also Cotton Club soda, interestingly. I bought it solely on the basis of price, which was a miserly 50 cents for a 20 oz. bottle about five years ago. I think that's the last time I heard of it. -Litefantastic 23:26, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Citations
The sources for this article, the bulk of which was added on December 14, 2004, appear to be primarily the first three pages that come up when you do a Google search for "cotton club" AND Harlem. The first one that comes up is the entry on the Cotton Club that I wrote for The Encyclopedia of the the Harlem Renaissance (Routledge, 2004), which the publisher made available online as a promotional sample entry; the Wikipedia article borrows heavily from this source for both its basic information and for its sentence structure, and it crosses over into plagiarism/copyright violation in several places (see the sentences on "celebrity night," the "tall, tan, and terrific" chorus girls, and the development of Duke Ellington's orchestral style).
The second source is a piece on the Cotton Club from the website for the Ken Burns film, Jazz, itself reprinted from and credited to the New Grove Dictionary of Jazz. The third source is a set of reminiscences on the Harlem club scene by Murray Pfeffer.
