Thank you to the Taunton Public Library for this look back at Taunton history.
Did you know Roseland Ballroom once hosted three famous African Americans on the same night back in 1953?
On October 21, 1953 at Roseland Ballroom, three legends graced the stage in one evening! Count Basie, The Dominoes (which featured a young Jackie Wilson) and one of the greatest boxers of all time, Sugar Ray Robinson!
