Redd Foxx recorded 56 comedy albums....

Just came across this today, Redd Foxx, star of Sanford and Son and the comedy stage, during his comedy days he recorded 56 albums and to date have sold close to 20 million copies combined, however at the time of his death, Redd Foxx was in and out of bankruptacy and basically died in debt. Its time for this madness to stop.

And I know most people would say "well he signed the contracts, tough luck", well just because thats the law, it doesnt make it right.

They need to release more of his albums in record stores. I've seen a video tape of Redd Foxx called "Plain Brown Rapper" and Redd was a very good stand up comedian.

Also, LaWanda Page (Aunt Esther) released comedy albums as well. She is my all time favorite comedian and she could absolutely put Redd Foxx to shame in the raunch department. I made a cassette copy, years ago, from an 8 Track that I borrowed from a friend called "Mutha Is Half A Word". In recent years, I've burned that same cassette onto CD. The record stores need to get her albums also. Today's comedians don't know raunchy until they hear LaWanda. lol

I've seen those on the Tower Records web site and listened to samples of them. It seems that they have spread some of the tracks from the original "Mutha Is Half A Word" onto some of the other CDs along with other jokes. Their "Mutha Is Half A Word" only has about half the tracks that mine does. What people won't do to make extra money. lol

The same friend that lent me LaWanda's 8 Track back in the day, also lent me Dolemite's cassette. Dolemite can talk plenty of cash shit.

I fucked that old bitch on a bail of cotton....
I would've fucked her sister but her old pussy was rotten.

Redd signed a really bad record deal and it was Frank Sinatra that helped get him out of the deal and he started during some records for Frank's Reprise Wb Label. I guess when can all guess how Frank got him out of the deal.

Redd Foxx: "A girl asked me somthing a couple of weeks ago," "She said, 'Can you f--- me and hurt me?' I said, 'You're god-damned right I can.' So I f---ed
her, and hit her in the head with a brick."

Redd Foxx:"We were poor," "If I wasn't a boy, I wouldn't have had nothing to play with." lol


Rudy Ray Moore(Dolemite): Way down in the jungle deep,
The bad ass lion stepped on the signifyin monkey's feet.
The monkey said, "Muthafucka, can't you see?
Why, you standin on my goddamn feet!"

LaWanda Page:

There was a lady in the crazy house....this was a white broad, see. The bitch was so damn crazy they put her in one of those padded cells. And every day the colored nurse would come check on her. She could tell how their condition was by the patient's conversation. Anyway, this white broad was climbing all up the walls just a'screamin' "I want a LOOOOONG black dick!"

Yeah, that son of a bitch was climbin' the walls honey! "I want a LOOOONG black dick!". The colored nurse said "What did you say?" This white broad didn't make it no better, she kept climbin' "I want a LOOOONG black dick!"

The colored nurse said "You was crazy as hell when they brought you here....but you in yo' RIGHT damn mind now!"
