In May of 1977, I babysat for my next door neighbors so they could go to the makeshift morgue to look for their relatives after the Beverly Hills Supper Club burned. I believe the death toll was 165.
The club was in northern Kentucky.
I remember reading about it. It was awful.
I remember when that happened. Singer John Davidson, who was vey popular at that time, was scheduled to perform at the club that night. He helped evacuate a number of the patrons from the club. Davidson refused to do any interviews afterwards because he did not want it to look like he was seeking publicity from this tragedy. He did perform at a benefit for the victims a few months later.
