He was a very kind hearted man. He would take in any stray that he found, and helped people without any recognition. He was a wonderful person and we miss him!
Poorness tends to humble a man. If that man has a good heart, he remembers what it felt like to have no help. It brings him back to reality no matter how blessed and wealthy one becomes. That is how his humanity is measured.
I remember seeing him live on the Sanford & Son tapings. About 4 times. He would come out before they started recording and do a short comedy routine to warm up the audience. That audience would be cracking up from laughter. Especially his dirty jokes. During the acting, he would have Demond Wilson breaking from his lines in laughter. Because of that, it would take more than an hour to complete the half hour show. Little did I realize I was witnessing a golden classic. Rest in peace brother Redd. Thank you for continuing to make this world laugh. You live eternally.
Redd A Good Man a loyal friend who helped countless people. Paid rent for people paid for the schooling of children who's parents worked with Redd. Just a humble Old School Cat never forgot his friends. RIP
@@acerycam3798 what about Trump, he too dodged by the medical certification of a spur in the heel. Why remember the negative about a dead man. He was not just funny. Redd was a humanitarian who helped the needy human beings which quality is lacking in most over here. May be from the dead the living dead may learn to wake up their dead conscious and help the needy.
Gotta admit he was amazing as fred G sanford. He was cast perfectly. Sanford and Son terrific show, terrific theme music. Him, Grady and Aunt Ester were top flight.
Back in the mid 60's, my ole man sometimes brought his lodge brothers over and he played some of Redd's party lp's. My brother and i would be out of sight listening. We would be laughing at those jokes we understood ( no foul language, just blue, sexual humor). My ole man would come up and chase us away. Later in life as i listened to those lp's on CD, i really see what a comedy genius Redd was, those jokes could have you on the floor holding your gut, in tears. RIP pop and Redd Foxx, great memories.
Redd Foxx was the best. I used to listen to his records back in the 70s and will never forget his jokes. One of my favorites was making sandwiches at the drive in.
I'm so used to seeing him walk like Fred Sanford that it felt odd at first to see him walk normal to his interview chair. As Redd Foxx, he sure does have a confident, sexy walk though! (PS: We miss you, Redd!)
Long live Redd Foxx...a great comedian and character actor...I wish those production "dummies" would have cast him in more roles. He could do anything. Glad that Eddie Murphy gave him that role in 'Harlem Nights'...his banter with Della Reese was almost as good as his banter with his friend and actress that played "Aunt Ester" in Sanford and Son... Great stuff!
one of the GOAT'S. I watch Sanford all the time - never stopped. Brilliant performance from him - a virtuoso. Shame he died during Royal Family...that show was just getting traction.
Redd Foxx was from the West Side on Enright, not to far from what is now the Delmar Loop, if you ever come to St. Louis visit the Loop, you’ll see Redd Foxx star on the ground here.. 🥰
Just left Tallahassee FL and got to see Ray Charles statue and walked passed the house he grew up in. I love stuff like that!! Where exactly is his star located?
Mannnn back in the days when you could puff a heater on live tv like drinking a glass of water & nobody looked down on someone for it, that’s how different the world is now 😤
As a kid I remember Sanford and Son was a great show. I remember Blind Mellon Chitlin records. Side note: I would love to get his Redd Foxx BBQ sauce back on the market
Man I love Mr red fox he is so much as a king in the comedy anything I remember being 4 yrs old and my mom will b watch Sanford n son n then they would show it on bet when I was in the 6th grade early in the am and smoke on the good Reggie cuzz doe wasn't around then n me n my best brother/friend Chico Albert Sanchez would watch dat shit n laugh our ass's off going to the bus to school
l love 10 minutes away from his house he bought here in Vegas. love redd. real rate company owned the house now. it's a long house. had a pool they took out in the back yard. it's very paculier.its on the end of a 4 way stop..you would think he have a bigger spread. you can walk up the driveway see his hand prints in cement.near front door. just one long house 1 floor. he's buried about 7 minutes away here in Vegas. next to his mother.
I wonder if Redd was living in that house in 1979? Don may have posted this elsewhere, but this remains one of my favorite Vegas stories ua-cam.com/video/WlbpCq5xNnE/v-deo.html
Sanford and Son is one of my favorite TV shows of all time, and I first saw in around 2006. Redd Foxx was a very dirty man, but from everything I've read he was also a really generous man.
Plus he faced enormous stress due to the IRS seizing his house and assets. He even was very upset due to the producers from 'The Royal Family' tv show he wason. that he suffered a fatal heart attack that claimed his life. R.I.P.
thank you ,Don. my mom and uncle adored redd foxx since i don't know when. it makes it confusing when a performer comes on a show railing at producers of records he'd like you to purchase.
@C. Buck Hyres thank you for all yer accumulated info regarding Redd. once i was a couple months late paying state tax. the fiscal tax board took it from my checking and charged me plenty for doing it. i pay early now
@@tedkier3264 And Trump pays only 800 dollars and litigare. When did IRS not come after the AA men who were successful. Redd Foxx the comedian, and then the boxer Lois --, then the Nat King Cole. later was smart enough to get smart lawyers and kept his homes. Tyranical is one word for such a behavior of the Government against Blacks. Why ? after centuries this Tyranny is still showing its nasty face.
"My mother has had a heart attack every day since 1922". - Redd Foxx " Elizabeth, I'm coming to join ya honey". - Fred Sanford "I can always go back to armed robbery [if the comedy thing doesn't work out]". - Redd Foxx
I would have never gone to see his night club act. Too rank to see. But he was a brilliant actor. "Sanford and Son " is still one of my favorite of the old sit coms.
Sanford and Son was great. Its so weird how he is nothing like Fred Sanford in real life. But he plays the character so well you believe it. RIP Red. Your show was hilarious. Sanford and Son I have not seen the stand-up act. Although I am sure its hilarious.
your rite sack up doo. many people forgot he came back after 77. with Sanford in 80. with his partner Dennis Berkley. fat cal lol...redf helped everyone. look up pay moritta...karate. kids fame..redd payed for his wedding..n out him on San Ford n son..he was making.25.000.per episode mid 70s. second only to Carroll I connor..archie bunker...you big dummy. the whole cast of San Ford n son were druggies. cocaine mostly..redd was big on it. aunt esthre..le.

Although I watched most of Sanford and Son, I was never a HUGE Redd Foxx fan, something about him rubbed me the wrong way (I preferred Lamont. Ya, I'm that guy). However, I recently watched two interviews of other people (Pat Morita and Della Reese) talking about him, the real him, and so I've come back to watch some of the clips I watched back then that turned me off, and it's completely turned me around on him and his shtick. He was one of the nicest people in Hollywood and I misinterpreted so much.
He was a very kind hearted man. He would take in any stray that he found, and helped people without any recognition. He was a wonderful person and we miss him!

Stray animals or humans?
He absolutely hated whites, though
Not so kind to me
Redd
A Good Man a loyal friend who helped countless people. Paid rent for people paid for the schooling of children who's parents worked with Redd.

RIP
But Redd was a WW2 draft dodger!!! But he was very funny!!!!
Very True!!!

I pray he is in peace ua-cam.com/video/jMQUBPdEJpU/v-deo.html
One of the most generous men of all time.
crowd starts laughing as soon as he starts talking, that's how iconic his voice is
The funniest man ever to walk the planet. I own the complete series on DVD and I watch it at least once per week.
He could tell the dirtiest jokes without using foul language! A true Master!
True
Reds Fox was dressed so smooth.
Gotta love Redd Foxx, still watch Sanford& son 5 days a week!!
That was AWESOME. Loved Redd. Sanford & Son is my all time favorite sitcom.
Simply speaking I grew up on this man and his show I miss him so much 😭😭😭😭😭 will never be another like him 👍👍👍
Heard my first dirty record Hot Nuts ❗
Both men are true legends.
This was the year I was born. Rest in Paradise Red Foxx!
Gotta admit he was amazing as fred G sanford. He was cast perfectly. Sanford and Son terrific show, terrific theme music. Him, Grady and Aunt Ester were top flight.
Comedic genius reds foxx always makes me laugh when I'm deppressed,no one else manages to do this rip to our redd
we all loved Redd Foxx in Sanford and Son he did a very good show he will be missed

Thanks for posting this. Redd was a legend. Left us way too early.
racefan1701 - "Say It Again"...
I was actually working for him at the time of this interview
What did you do for him?
So was my father.
Redd Foxx was the best. I used to listen to his records back in the 70s and will never forget his jokes. One of my favorites was making sandwiches at the drive in.
My idol I love redd foxx so much class so much style just a delightful dude I'm only 27 but I kno funny and I'm this dude was it
What a treat. Redd was such a gem. He worked "blue" but Sanford and Son totally worked clean due to his comedy timing. I'd say one of the top 5 easy.
Him and page classic on that show
I will be like him when I grow old, he is cool as hell and love his style of dressing
I'm so used to seeing him walk like Fred Sanford that it felt odd at first to see him walk normal to his interview chair. As Redd Foxx, he sure does have a confident, sexy walk though! (PS: We miss you, Redd!)
Way to go Dave you made Red Foxx laugh.

Gotta love Redd.....
Talk about dignified.
Thanks for that!
That black leather fit cold asf🔥
Legendary
As a kid I remember Sanford and Son was a great show. I remember Blind Mellon Chitlin records.
Side note: I would love to get his Redd Foxx BBQ sauce back on the market
"I want my daddy's records!"
Blind Mellow Jelly and his son Potbelly!!
do bring it back.
Legend!
Man I love Mr red fox he is so much as a king in the comedy anything I remember being 4 yrs old and my mom will b watch Sanford n son n then they would show it on bet when I was in the 6th grade early in the am and smoke on the good Reggie cuzz doe wasn't around then n me n my best brother/friend Chico Albert Sanchez would watch dat shit n laugh our ass's off going to the bus to school

Redd Foxx was a very dirty man, but from everything I've read he was also a really generous man.
Dirty was show biz. He was a great humanitarian in his own capacity. Helping those in need who are around.People can learn so much from his life.
God, I love him!
anybody else google the house he grew up in? its actually pretty nice
You don't have to shake it cos it's ready all the time! LOL
Must be jelly cause jam don't shake that way
Redd Foxx a brilliant comedian.
Anyone else notice the "no smoking" sign as Redd was coming from backstage?
Glad to Know Fred Reppin My City New Orleans Baabe #RIPFred
My atf!!! Love love love Redd Foxx
I wish Redd was alive now. He’d set everyone straight.
No surprise he dies of a heart attack. Redd is out of breath and winded sitting down. Sanford and Son is still the #1 sitcom of all time!
His heart attack was eight years later. His breathing was probably more associated with his lungs, perhaps emphysema.
Plus he faced enormous stress due to the IRS seizing his house and assets. He even was very upset due to the producers from 'The Royal Family' tv show he wason. that he suffered a fatal heart attack that claimed his life. R.I.P.
Redd was a heavy smoker!
Nope, All in the Family was and is No. 1!!!!

I would have loved to be back in the green room with Redd Foxx & Ken Kesey.
Seeing this I suddenly got the urge for New Orleans BBQ sauce.
The GOAT
Legendary.
You know this is an old clip, Paul has hair.
I would have never gone to see his night club act. Too rank to see. But he was a brilliant actor. "Sanford and Son " is still one
of my favorite of the old sit coms.
My guy here
Fucking Legend
Wish I could've tried some of that BBQ Sauce
Sanford and Son was great. Its so weird how he is nothing like Fred Sanford in real life. But he plays the character so well you believe it. RIP Red. Your show was hilarious. Sanford and Son I have not seen the stand-up act. Although I am sure its hilarious.
You made 55 albums. Ya, I wish I had some of the money from them too 🤟😂
I love Red Foxx. Looks uptight and nervous here. Still kind of funny, no matter how nervous.
The uptight and nervousness is the cocaine use.
"Can't a man relax" 😊
God rest his smutty soul.
He would've approved of that statement.
Redd Foxx dressed as Bobby Brown.
rrmond 😂
He was such a gentleman, when I had the pleasure of meeting him! I'll always love him!
remind Bobby Brown wasn't even a teenager when this was made.
"Hello"...hilarious!
If this was in 1983, Redd wold have only been off of TV for three years, not five like he proclaimed. His last TV show was called Sanford in 1980
