I totally remember Moms Mabley!
Q
I'm 70 and remember loving her.
Me too 😂
I am 67 years old, and I remember watching her on TV during the 60s and 70s. Loved her and the way she dressed.
😂😂 me 2
Yes.me too
I remember watching her on the Mike Douglas show w/my Mom. I'm now 61 yrs old.
Me too
I remember seeing her on the Flip Wilson Show when I was a kid, and she was flawless. She was hilarious. Thank you Flip.❤
I grew up in the sixties. I saw Moms Mabley on the Ed Sullivan Show. Every time she came on the Ed Sullivan Show On Sunday night as kids we would run home from the playground to see her. She was funny. Lol!!!
Mabley was amazing. I discovered her in the late sixties. I am now nearly 74 and I can remember the first time I heard her comedy act.
At 62 I can’t even remember black recorded comedy before Moms and Redd. If not for them there would be no one!!!!
I'm not in my 70s,I remember her and Redland A few others, but we weren't able to hear those recording. Just some of it if they made it on T.V.
Not true plenty slappy white dap sugar wille much more actually from that era and also had wide fam
I remember when my parents would have guests over. When it came time for them to play Moms Mabley (and other comedians) records i was told to go/sent upstairs😂😂😂Of course I didn't go upstairs. Didn't understand what was so funny til later. Thanks for bringing back a memory😊 I know those albums are still somewhere in this house.
Thanks for sharing!
Ohh man, we lived parallel lives, we youngsters would hang out by the stairs while the half-drunk adults played Moms and Redd Foxx
My crazy uncle would come upstairs to 'discipline' us and sneak a beer to us.
Can't make this up.
YES, this!! Parents played her records after sending us to bed, but we would sneak and listen!
A true Queen of comedy!! One of a kind. There will NEVER be another Jackie "Moms" Mabley. She had a gift that only comes once in a lifetime. I have laughed so much when I think about the jokes she told. As a child, I have seen her on TV. Rest in peace, Moms!
Very well researched documentary and what should be considered an important part of Black American history. Thank you.
Thank you!
I remember my dad use to listen to her album w his friends, cracking up I'm 65
Me too. Our parents would chase us out of the area because the jokes were for grown ups only. Wow they were rather clean jokes especially for now days.
Moms befriended my father when he was a young medical intern. He never forgot her kindness to a young boy from the country far from home for the first time. May her memory be a blessing.
I remember her as a child. I've recently read she was a lesbian. This woman did what she had to do to survive in her life and mainstream American. Thank You for taking the heat for all of us!
I love Mom's Mably. Years ago, I tried to find her stand up shows, but I couldn't. Thank you for sharing her life with us. ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
l used to just roll when listening to Moms...😅😅 l was young yes but l loved loved her soo glad you reached back and captured ""the good Ole things""may we never forget😂😂😂
I loved watching her on tv. I remember her well.
I remember Mom's Mabley. She was so super funny. I was just a child and I appreciated her. 😊 Wow! What an amazing documentary. I'm so sad she endured tragedies. I'm so happy that she rose above them. She is an iconic inspiration to humanity. If she doesn't have one, she should receive a Star on the walk of Fame.
My family was fortunate to have an vinyl LP with her comedy act. We fondly listen to it for many years
I'm in my 60s and remember her!! She was able to touch on socio-political subjects with her comedy. She was on all the big variety and talk shows. Thanks for doing a story on her. She was the original Queen of Comedy!
My mom loved her comedy, so i heard her on records and TV. Flip Wilson and Tyler Perry owe a lot to her androgynous performances. Thanks for the retrospective on this powerful, raunchy, hilarious Moms Mably.
Jackie “Moms” Mabley is awesome! She always makes me laugh and it’s sad that so few people today know of her. It’s really a shame. Thanks so much for this great documentary on a true legend.
One of the Greatest female Comedian. I got to see at Steve Wonder's sixteen show in Raleigh, NC Funny with character! I was young and got to see two of my favorite entertainers.
I remember Mom's Mably,, I loved her act, she was amazing
I remember. Istening to her records with my brothers. Thank you for this opportunity to know all about her. ❤
I remember her from when I was a little girl. I never laughed so hard in my life. The one that stuck with me all these years is the one about “The ole dog”, the Greyhound bus. It was so funny. Great comedian 🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️
I have an album 💿 that belonged to my parents….i still play it. The kind of funny with truth.
My parents had her recording , along with Redd Fox .Because of them there was a lot of laughs in the house .😂
I remember seeing her and Red Foxx at the Regal theater in Chicago. My dad loved her records. One joke was so funny to me, she asked why were people always tellin' the kids to watch the light before crossing the street, she wanted to know why, because a light ain't never hit nobody, you better be watching them cars. Many many Black Boombers have definitely heard of Jackie "Moms" Mably.
❤😂🎤👏🏾❣️🙋🏾
I love Mom's Mabley
She was always spot on

I grew up in the 60's and 70's listening to Moms Mableys albums with my parents in Detroit on a Saturday. I still remember some of her jokes 🥰
I loved watching her on Ed Sullivan's show on Sundays, where she was a frequent guest.❤
What a splendid human. One of my greatest sheroes. Thank you
No doubt!
Thanks for covering this, I appreciate it
No problem!
You did an outstanding job on your research. I didn't know a lot of this. And the photos - wow! A distant relative of hers approach me about making a documentary some years back. This one is better than I could have imagined at the time. I'm truly impressed. Bangup job!!!
Thank you!
Moms Mabley was funny as ish. Thank you for bringing her life to light. Bravo to Moms!
I remember "Moms" Mabley well . She was the funniest female comedian i ever heard!!!
Excellent channel and awesome, informative real life content!! I'm Mos Def subscribed! Are you able to add closed captions on your videos? I'm someone who is a consumer of your channel during work, and I sometimes have my volume turned down a little bit lower so I can hear my customers on my headset! If not, I understand! Keep up the good work, yo!
Thanks for the comment. I’ll definitely try to add closed captions to my videos. Thanks for the suggestion!
AMAZING BLACK WOMAN 😅.
Yes she was.
Mom's on a whole nuther level, truly a legend and national treasure, she's the back that all today's female comics ride on. Thank you Mom's our family appreciate and cherish you, we know your struggle and identify with your triumph
Couldn't agree more!
Loved Moms Mably! 😋 Thanks for this, its good to see her story!
Thank you for watching!
I remember Mom’s mainly album that we have and my favorite was the old wine, or when she would say the wine was walking down the street and he fell and he put his hand behind him and he had a bottle of red wine and when he put his hand behind him and brought it out, it was all red, and he turned around his bed. Oh, Lord, I hope this is blood. That was my favorite
The NAACP had a lot to say about the Comedians of the Time , But when those same Comedians made money, I bet the NAACP wanted their membership and money and support
Given the content, i thought i was on another channel i like, but it's you instead hehe
Anyway,... im enjoying this too, and hope you get more followers, this is good content.
Love from Ireland 👍
You know when people ask "who, living or dead, would you have to dinner"
I'd chose this lady for one!.
Thank You!
Belated respect and honornto a Strong Woman thanks for the memories ❤ Dobie Wan Kanobie ❤revisited June 9 2024

This is a Great documentary Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I m 62, & I rember watching her on tv as kid
Me too. I love mom's
LOVED her COMEDY 😅.
GREAT female COMEDIAN of all times 😅.
I came across this documentary and I felt impressed to share the fact, I know Loretta Mary Aiken granddaughter personally. I use to work for her. Her name is Ann and she lives in Greensboro, NC. She is 82 years old. I remember seeing pictures at Ann's home of her grandmother. She also is mentioned in the Jet magazine 1976 issue as a surviving
family member. She also has a great granddaughter who lives in Texas, she's Ann' daughter.
Oh wow! Thanks for sharing that information!
Thanks so much for sharing. It would be great if someone could do a documentary about Mrs. Maybley and could speak with Ms. Ann for additional information to get it started.
Moms is the prototype for Tyler Perry’s Madea.
You can't even put a clown like Tyler Perry in the same conversation with Mom's Mabley, Mom's crawled so bojangling buck dancers like Tyler could shine, she is a legend
Great documentary & content! 🎤 TanX for the 🎶song & let it play in its entirety💕🆗
Thank You!
Thank. For. Reconize. Her. Bring. Back. Memories. Of. My. Grandma. Love. You. Amen
I don’t know much of Moms work and I like what I have heard of her!😊
I think she was incredible she was so smart and before her time she is missed i her about from my grandma
Thanks
@1:55 Mom looked really great back in the day
WHEN YOU THINK OF ONE OF THE FUNNIEST COMEDIANS EVER, MEN'S OR WOMEN, JACKIE MOMS MABLEY HAD THAT RASBY VOICE, STAGE PRESENCE, THAT LOOK, THAT HAT & CLOTHES, MOMS MABLEY WAS A MASTER OF HER CRAFT!!! I DON'T REMEMBER ONE BAD JOKE, EVERYTHING WAS FUNNY THAT CAME OUT OF HER MOUTH!!! I ROLLED ALOT OF TIMES ON THE FLOOR HOLDING MY STOMACH AND LAUGHING AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS!!! MOMS WAS NEVER BORING!!! SHE IS ON MOUNT RUSHMORE ON COMEDY!!! SO UNIQUE!!! I EVEN LOVED HER SINGING!!! SO NATURAL HER COMEDY, NOTHING FORCED!!! MOMS TOOK A BACKSEAT TO NO ONE!!!! SHE EVEN SUPPORTED MARTIN LUTHER KING RAISING MONEY FOR HIS MARCHING!!! ENTERTAINMENT WAS HER MIDDLE NAME!!! I VOULD WATCH & LISTEN TO HER 24 HOURS AND THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TIME!!!
I think they got Phyllis Diller to be a white version of Moms. Because you know they always try to replace us with a white version.
True, but PD was funny in her own right.
Nobody got Phyllis Diller to be anything. She was her own original. Don't go hatin' on Phyllis, using Moms Mabley for it.
Yessssssss
I don’t think she hatin on white folks is just Phillis got more credit because she white back in those days Moms Maybley really didn’t get the credit she deserved
Exactly, they both had very similar acts in their jokes and appearances and Phyllis was originally a housewife not a comedian until much later in life. The 1950’s -1960’s when moms was reaching her strides in mass popularity on tv, clubs and albums. I’m sure Phyllis would have heard and seen her act and no doubt was inspired by her act to create something similar for herself. It’s not like there were a lot of female popular comedians out there to be inspired by.
awesome video.
Thanks!
Rufus Thomas also my mom had their albums hidden from us😂😂 the where x rated back then
Pigment Marcum, Redd Foxx, LaWanda Page and a few others: it was called party records and local small city record shops would set them at the back out of display or wouldn't display them at all, you just requested them if they didn't have them they'd order them for you and tell you when they'd arrive so you could pick them up
I remember this wonderful lady!
I'm 68yrs.I remember her, My Daddy watched her every Sunday night ☺ 3:38
I remember seeing her back in the day on tv shows
GOD REST HER SOUL 😊🎉❤😊
What a beautiful and intelligent Woman, despite white recognition.
20:30 I have what I call my "mom's hat" to this day 😊
Yes I did grew up listen to her record n some don't even recognize her as Queen of Comedy like u said
26:24 And now we know why she was famous along with her talent.
Women, white or black weren't welcomed to do stand-up comedy
I have an original comedy album that she made it used to be my mom’s still in good condition and everything
❤❤❤
Mabley
Got it!😂
Remember her on TV Flip Wilson show
Good Morning, you are pronouncing Mabley with THREE syllables rather than TWO. Love
My bad
In correct most people late 50's and beyond know who she is😂
💜
Most people have heard of moms
I never heard of her until recently. And most YOUNGER people have not heard of her.
Ok you have never heard and some young people your not most people most people who are black and into our history our grand parents our great grands and parents are teaching us our history and yes she is apart of our history you must be talking about most people in your circle you don't know most people
Drag King or NOT, she was funny asF.
She only dressed in men's suits to get work, many times they didn't know she was man or woman, she just filled in to get work, singing, dancing and comedy.
I cannot continue listening to her name being butchered. Name MABLEY, not Maberly, ijs
Lol but thanks for watching. Hope you got something out the video.
I was Raised oh her type of humor, moms bent the arch but never too far. Besides it was a bit more dangerous then, hoover ran the fbi. Chapelle reminds me of mom's, but he's getting stiff, he's bending it a bit to far at times. MOMS WAS THE BEST ❤ R.I.P. MOMS
❤❤❤😂😂😂
Can anyone tell me the term being used to describe the comedy scene of that era? “Bobville?” “Ba-ville?”
For some reason I can’t make out what is being said. It is used in the beginning. I’m 5MINUTES in…
Thank you!
Vaudeville...
Yes and know. There are goods and not so good men of all ages. A Lot of them look for a woman to support them and some will support their love untill they get tired of them.
It's pronounced, BRE-vard, North Carolina...
I swear everybody a English teacher. But thanks for letting me know how it’s pronounced.
Couldn't you have at least gotten her correct name. Jackie " Moms" Mabley was her stage name. Her actual birth name was Loretta Mary Aiken🤔
Lol. Thanks for letting me know.😂
Wow did you watch it thoroughly? Shame on you! amazing docu I’ve ever watched on this performer who’s birth name was in fact mentioned @25:36
Thank You! @@Brindlemix
@@Brindlemix oops?!😳

I'm very familiar with Moms Mabely & I'm not a fan. Her running around in mixed matched outfits & no teeth didn't amuse me at all. 🦝'ing isn't funny no matter who's doing it!
You must've not witnessed Jim Crow segregation ,with your mentality we wouldn't been able to survive, pick your battles wisely. It wasn't cooning it was survival and earning a living. Check the context of the history.
Can you imagine seeing Mom’s Manley in her heyday live? What-a-show 🍾🚬🎭🎟️
Is it Manley…?
