The Memphis Bop Club was born out of frustration; the frustration that Memphis bop lovers felt when Chevy's closed in early 1986 and no other nightclub proprietors responded to our need.
On April 3, 1987 the first meeting of a handful of people was held. These people were committed to the idea of possibly forming our own "Bop Club". Those individuals were Tom Polzin, Glenda Martin, John Davis, Bunny Lee Wilhelm and the late Pete Wade and Lin Quint. We committed our time and energies to pushing the idea of "THE MEMPHIS BOP CLUB".
We prepared an application form and took them to Temptations; the only nightclub in town supporting 50's & 60's music at that time. We quickly learned it was a good idea. The response was overwhelming. Within the first few weeks, the club had grown to 50, then 75, then 100 people.
The first dance lessons were given to students in our home. Our first monthly parties were held in Lin Quint's clubhouse. However, we soon had to move to a larger location because we were too big for the Clubhouse.
Now, in our 22nd year, we are proud to be able to say we were the "first" in Memphis and remain successful. We will always be successful, as long as we, as members, support it and remain active.
