Raiford's Disco Is A Done Deal


A Memphis landmark will soon become a memory. "Raiford's Hollywood Disco" is going to soon be closing down. This past Saturday night the owner of the popular nightspot said "the spirit told him it was time to close". In the very next sentence. He said he had tried to find someone to take over the business, but there weren't any takers. Leading me to believe this had been in the plans before that night. I also find that hard to believe considering family members are always there now. Seems they would have been bursting at the seams to take over the helm of a flourishing business. Based on his children and workers I've seen. Unless looks are deceiving, I doubt they have prepared for a life after the club.

I wish it was just an epiphany that came over the entire family. Making them decide to turn over this new leaf. I don't think it was though. Something we don't know about, is the cause of this. I can remember in the early days when he was catching hell trying to survive on Mulberry St. and Vance. It was the center for the prostitution trade. Not to mention the heavy homosexual presence, both in and out of the club. I have heard conflicting stories as to the reason for the sudden announcement. Now that the club is closing. We will probably never know the full story.
