Fifth Ward, from Duke-Peacock to Rap-A-Lot
1949
Fifth Ward, Houston
Don Robey ran his Bronze Peacock club and then Duke-Peacock Records out of the Fifth Ward, the most successful Black-owned label in America before Motown, with Bobby Bland and Big Mama Thornton on it. Forty years later James Prince built Rap-A-Lot and the Geto Boys in the same ward.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
