Harold & Belle's and the Los Angeles music scene
Harold & Belle’s had already become a familiar South Los Angeles destination by this engagement. Harold and Belle Legaux opened the West Jefferson Boulevard restaurant in 1969. Earlier, they had moved to Los Angeles from New Orleans. By the end of the 1980s, the family restaurant had expanded several times. Meanwhile, its New Orleans roots remained central to its identity. That heritage gave the Jefferson Boulevard room a distinctive place in Los Angeles nightlife.
Later, generations of the Legaux family continued the restaurant for decades. Therefore, Fulton’s appearance belongs to the history of a neighborhood institution. The address for Fulton’s engagement was 2920 W Jefferson Blvd.
