Don't forget Pigmeat Markham:

"But Judge, Your Honor, don't you remember me?"
"No, who are you, boy?"
"Why, I'm the fella that introduced you to your wife!"
"To my wife?"
"Yeah!"
"LIFE!!!...You SON of a gun, you!"

"JOJO DANCER, YOUR LIFE IS CALLING", AND "WHICH WAY IS UP" WERE MY FAVORITES!! However, his greatest statement was when he renounced the word "n****". A word that should not even be in Webster's Dictionary.

Damn people; all the people we loved and grew up watching and listening to (Pryor, Vandross, Rick James, etc.) are dying, which reinforces to me that LIFE IS SHORT. LIVE HARD. Damn, it's depressing thinking about what "talent" is left in the comedy world. Some of these folks think saying "N**** this, b**** that; p**** this, d*** that" makes them funny (they shall remain nameless). However, they couldn't hold a candle to the likes of Foxx, Pryor, and Mabley.

I don't know what more to say, other than "REST IN PEACE P-TOWN'S FINEST!!".

Dunno about DVDs, but you can find CDs of both Pigmeat Markham and Moms Mabley at either amazon.com or laugh.com/

Didn't know he died until I saw this thread. That's a shame. He was probably the funniest man who ever lived.

Thanks for the listing, bv. I'm smilling just thinking about some of them.

Its nice that even when your pass on people can smile just thinking about you.

I'll miss you Richard. But I have some of those old movies to remember you by. And those stand ups. That Richard could joke about catching his self on fire (smile)

Rest in peace.

Robin Harris (Bebe's kids), Red Foxx, Rodney Dangerfield, and Sam Kennison. I vagely remember Moms Mabley. What a party that would be.

If you want a real treat, go find Moms Mabley, she was an elderly Black comedian in the 1960's, and she was funny as hell. Amongst comedians she's considered an icon up there with Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce.

Richard filled all of us with so many emotions.When I was pregnant with my son, I was fascinated with Richard Pryor, watching everything from his children's special, to "Bustin Loose", and behold, I was up late one night watching "Live on Sunset Strip", and I was laughing so hard, I went right into labor. I love him.

Richard Pryor was a special talent. He was a fantastic comic and a surprisingly good actor. But most of all he kept it real. If you listen to a Richard Pryor comedy album you wil laugh but when you finish you will hey, that was deep.
