4.0 out of 5 stars Great entry point for Old-School Comedy, June 4, 2001

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

This isn't your parents's Sanford & Son Redd Foxx! This disc presents a ton of really good routines and one-liners from the man who started "blue" comedy. Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce both come out of this man, and it shows fairly well on this disc. It's not as nasty or blue as some of his other records, but it does show Foxx at the top of his form telling stories ("Letter To A Wife" is incredible, even by today's standards) and joke after joke after joke. The man is an encyclopedia of dirty jokes, and balances his whole act with a strong grip on class, which, considering some of the content, is genius unto itself.

You can find dirtier Foxx, but this collection is a great break-in point for any other purchases you might consider. If you like this one, you'll dig the other stuff. If you don't, lean off it all. This is a great collection of material and scope of Foxx's work.

Fans of Fred Sanford on "Sanford and son" will be equally happy with Redd Foxx's standup comedy.For old fans like myself,it's one indispensable package.

5.0 out of 5 stars King of Party Humor, August 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)

Before Pryor, Eddie, Martin, Chris Tucker and Chris Rock, there was Redd Foxx. Redd is the the author and originator of Party Humor. He's the true "King of Comedy."
