As the Apollo goes through difficult financial times many famous performers continue to appear there at a loss, simply to keep the theater open. As more opportunities open up for black performers the prestige of the Apollo lessens. Harlem itself is seen as a low priority for New York as crime in the neighborhood rises, spilling into the theater itself. The original family owners sell the theater in 1976.
