The key historical factor in the development of the lesbian and gay subculture in Harlem was the massive migration of thousands of Afro-Americans to northern urban areas after the turn of the century.
Harlem parties were extremely varied; the most common kind was the "rent party." Like the blues, rent parties had been brought north in the Great Migration.
It was not unusual to see the cream of Harlem society, as well as much of the white avant-garde, in the ballroom's balconies, straining their necks to view the contestants.

 DVD Verdict Review - Harlem Nights
I'm not sure what prompted Eddie to write Harlem Nights (yes, he wrote it) and I'm really not sure what prompted Eddie to direct Harlem Nights (yes, he directed it, too) but I'm really confused as to what prompted Paramount to allow him to do these things.
The biggest problem with Harlem Nights is the lack of timing on just about every gag, with each laugh-getter being strung out too long so as to render it unfunny.
The problem I have here is that characters in Harlem Nights say it as though the word itself is supposed to be funny.

The over the top acting of Arsenio Hall was not so different from some of the acting of Lucille Ball.
Face it, Harlem Nights was much more enjoyable to watch than any of the "Godfather" movies, all of which were too dark and took themselves too seriously.
Watching those depressing Godfather movies many years later, I would gladly watch Harlem Nights, the sequel.

Indeed, the cast would seem to be the summit of African American comedians, starring the three most influential standups of the modern era: Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, and Eddie Murphy.
Murphy obviously was paying respect to his elders when he cast them as his father and grandfather in this story of Harlem in the 1930s.
This movie is one of my all time favorites and I think the critics and others who scorn this movie have no sense of taste (must be the same critics and people who enjoyed The Blair Witch Project).

 Harlem Nights
Eddie Murphy, in addition to starring as Quick, the son of 1930s Harlem gambling-house proprietor Sugar Ray (Richard Pryor), also wrote and directed the film.
The plotline details the combined efforts of Quick and Sugar Ray to prevent white gangster Bugsy Calhoune (Michael Lerner) from muscling in on their operation.
The film's now-notorious streak of misogyny reaches a Nirvana of sorts when Quick shoots pugnacious Harlem madam Vera (Della Reese) in the foot.
