Before Sanford and Son, Redd was mainly known as a dirty comic, whose records were sold under the counter. After he got his hit television show, his live act would consist of a clean first half, and then a filthy second half after warning the easily offended to leave.

Just lost my brother a few months ago. He was 13 years older than me. I cannot tell you how often 4 yo me snuck out behind his Chevy Chevelle while he and his buddies were listening to Red Foxx.

By the time I came of age, Richard Pryor wasn't even shocking.

Yeah man! I've always liked the cover of the album, "You Gotta Wash Yo Ass". What's Redd doing? Hugging the back end of a donkey.
