On the outside, the black-painted brick and checkered patterns of red, black, and white could leave someone dizzied, but the interior of Satin Doll’s Lounge did the opposite. Opened in 1977, the legendary jazz club owned by Minnette D. Wilson, known as “Satin Doll,” was a safe, invite-only haven in the heart of the city, located between 23rd and 24th Street on West Fond Du Lac Avenue. Described as elegant, and a beautiful dancer, Wilson, performed with legendary musician Duke Ellington and others. Wilson was Ellington’s muse for the hit song “Satin Doll” sung by Ella Fitzgerald. Wilson brought her personality to lounge, the inside was adorned with photos of Wilson and Duke Ellington, Milwaukee Police department patches, and stuffed animals. The downstairs party room was dedicated to Ellington and included a jukebox filled with his music. Creating Space in a Segregated City When Black musicians were still being discriminated against and not allowed in downtown venues, Satin Doll’s Lounge was a haven to escape to. Attracting both local and national talent, the lounge provided a place for Black musicians to perform in front of inclusive, integrated audiences. Often staying open until the sun came up, the lounge has been described at a non-rowdy place that had a nice social atmosphere. A sign on the door read, “You must be 38 years old or older to enter.” Due to its reputation for being safe and fun, and Wilson, having many connections with the Milwaukee Police Department, Satin Doll’s Lounge, made Milwaukee a true jazz destination for many. By the time of her death at age 79 in 2017, Satin Doll’s Lounge was closed, but Wilson left a rich legacy that continues to inspire today. Preserving Satin Doll’s History Many were able to experience what Satin Doll’s was firsthand, but for those who haven’t, there are groups working to preserve the history not only of the lounge, but also, the impact and contributions of Minnette Wilson to Milwaukee’s jazz scene. The Wisconsin Black Historical Society has documented and celebrated Wilson’s life and work. They have preserved photographs, posters, recordings of performances, and more to serve as a connection to the past and hopefully inspire the next generation. Satin Doll’s Lounge legacy remains strong today and demonstrates a beacon of hope and resiliency, that should be honored. Satin Doll Lounge
