The Paradise Ballroom
Fifty years of Stevie & Marvin. Dust off your finest. The floor is waiting.
Stevie and Marvin met on a dance floor in 1977 and never really left it. Fifty years on, the Paradise books the same kind of band, pours the same kind of punch, and the floor opens for the two who started it all.
