Located in North Philly, the Starlite Supper Club was owned by jazz impresario Benjamin “Ben” Bynum Sr. Musicians who performed here included Kenny Gamble and the Romeos, Nina Simone, Jimmy Smith, Kim Weston, bagpiper Rufus Harley, and percussionists Babatunde Olatunji and Willie Bobo.
Philadelphia native Cullen Knight recorded a live album, A Knight at the Starlite, in 1965.
For roughly 10 years, the property was home to Club Upscale. The nightspot closed circa 2019.
