The city’s top talent, including Dave Bartholomew, Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, and Earl King appeared here regularly, as did the nation’s biggest Black performers, including Ray Charles and Little Richard, who took up residence in the hotel. They influenced each other, and the Dew Drop became a launching pad for New Orleans musicians to reach new heights of influence as recording and touring artists.
Today, the Dew Drop Inn is being revitalized and reimagined by a new owner, Curtis Doucette.
