Lawanda Page(Aunt Esther) was Redd's friend since childhood in St. Louis. a great blue comedian in her own right, the first dirty female comedian. she loved Redd and was always there for him, God bless her soul.
I was fortunate to meet Redd after a show, we sat and talked for close to an hour, I mentioned to him, how I loved his work, he was thrilled to hear it, he was one of the greatest men I've ever met, I was so amazed to think, I could go back stage, meet him after his show, I thought, 5 minutes, yet we talked for almost an hour, and then he gave me a personalized autograph. I learned so much being with him one on one, he was a great guy, sure. God Bless ya REDD!!!
I was in las vegas this weekend passed and went to redd foxxs burial monument and cleaned it up for him, and set the flowers upright, someone put a quarter and a few pennies on it so I put them all on heads and played my respects...then I went by his home and now Its a real estate office, I walked around it and looked at how it looks on TV. Ft like he was walking beside me...awesome moment for me..
Joey Trimble I saw a video of the media saying his property was haunted..I walked on the property and felt peace...being at his grave and seeing the rosy red stone and fox on it, made me feel like he was right there thanking me....I wish there was a way to see how his widow is doing these days...I'm sure she's doing well on the rerun royalties...
GREATEST HOBO OF ALL TIMES did Redd Foxx have any family? If so, why didn't they get his belongings that was in the house? Or no one was allowed to remove them do to the IRS taking his things? Also, I think that was very nice of you to do what you did. I remember when the IRS went to his home and took all of his things and I was watching it on tv. It was so sad I remember crying.
He was my neighbor in Vegas. On Eastern and Russell Street. We would see each other at Giuseppes Pizza which was across the street from both of us. A very nice man. But I could so tell he was very sad inside. That whole I.R.S thing broke his heart and spirit. R.I.H Rest In Heaven Redd. Thank you for your time and smiles.
Yes, I was his neighbor too i lived down the street from him on Tropicana, he was one of the coolest people I ever met, and he told me all about what the irs was doing to him. They made him sell all his personal stuff and everything its actually sad to watch this for those who knew him back then. His heart was broke like you said. And his neighbors all knew how hard this was for him. He will be missed always.
Did anyone saw him before he died Rumors now say he saw something a guy from a pedo élite doing something He was murdered like many other actors who didn't want to serve the high power Hollywood and the entertainment industry is rotten
How cool & ironic Redd Foxx would have a "junk sale" to help pay off his debt to the I.R.S.. This must've been in 1991 in Las Vegas. Redd Foxx is still missed to this very day. R.I.P., Redd Foxx...December 9, 1922 - October 11, 1991. We miss you, Sir!
It's sad that he died a month before my birthday & a year after I was born,but I do love his work on Sanford & Son my mom & I watch that together he makes me laugh every time.
This is great. How fortunate for you to hang with such a great bunch of entertainers. Thanks for sharing this with us. These people were in our homes for years as characters, and it was so cool to see them together as themselves.
He should have paid his damn taxes then!!....he was a great entertainer but a poor businessman and Stewart of his money....they let him get away with it for years at that!!...they finally had enough and when uncle Sam comes for you it's bar none at that point!!
Wow, this is really a gem!!! The whole original cast of Sandford and Son minus the BIG DUMMY!!! But all jokes aside, this truly a tremendous piece of rare film footage of one of my idols, the late great REDD FOXX!!!
Redd Foxx was a Fine Entertainer! He told me that he went to High School with my Cousin Dorothy Dandridge Thanks for this Video! Ann Dandridge POWERFUL PEOPLE and FRIENDS
Just finished reading the book "Black and Blue" I'm just getting started in stand up and will perform on Friday. I shall dedicate my set to Redd Foxx!!
Thanks for post in this I watched redd foxx on unsung the other night he avoided the government and they took everything and reportedly left him with a mattress. At least he died making a comeback on that show with Della Resse and he died on set of a heart attack in 1991. The late great REDD FOXX
Kahlil el rey redd foxx from Sanford and son and his stand up routine after cheating taxes a long time his stuff got took and he was trying to make a few extra bucks (seen here) and was casted on the royal family (a show by Eddie Murphy) but sadly died of a heart attack on set. The video by tvone might be on UA-cam it was called unsung. Redd Foxx
Thanks so much for sharing this video. I've always been a big fan of Redd Foxx and everybody on "Sanford & Son". I have seasons 1-6 on box sets dvd's and watch them quite often. God bless you.
I remember as a Kid growing up in the 70s in Liberia West Africa, I enjoy his Movies so well... I Pray his soul rest in Peace ... Sleep On Uncle Fred....
Great to see some of the cast from the show. Would've been nice if they'd have been in a financial position to help him. Must've been very unpleasant for Redd to go through this, leaving him feeling vulnerable. It's no wonder the poor dears heart gave out. He is certainly missed. 💙💙
I loved watching Redd growing up. Always made me laugh. Now all these years later, it’s all my little big guy wants to watch, fakin heart attacks at school and everything too.
I remember the shop well!!! What a Great guy Redd was. I grew up in Vegas and met him a few times. I got pix of me and The red truck next to his house, a signed, framed Check, the doll and Lots of records from him. I miss Redd!!!
As good as we do for others family friends strangers we should never expected for them to be good by us. Only hope that in all their experiences that they would remember our kindness in our time of need. if they do its good if they don't that's good too. Most importantly we do good for GOD for HIS recognition in JESUS Merciful Name. Basically people are soon to forget. Rock On Foxx!!!!!!!
this is both sad and beautiful , the fact that his costars / friends reunited to help Mr Foxx is heart warming indeed and keep in mind they all knew each other and worked with each other years before Sanford and son .
Anyone else sad that he had to sell off his possessions to pay off the IRS? That poor man. 😢 He should have been living his last years enjoying life, not selling what he worked so hard for.
I seen this and thought itd be sad ...he had all his co stars there with him it was very dignified and he really seemed to enjoy himself...had he been alone thatd have made for a sad experience
Young people learn from this video people used to genuinely love each other, care about each other cut out all the hate young people watch, listen ,learn
His last video was actually filmed minutes before he died, Entertainment Tonight stopped by his soundstage to interview him on the set of The Royal Family TV show on the Paramount lot, A few minutes after the interview he had his heart attack.
Wow I can't believe you have this! Wat a great piece of history! Poor redd had to sell all his things for the IRS what a great comedian he was, I love redd, I still watch Sanford and son over and over, I love it!!!!
Not his last video, his last video is when he died on the set..... he was making a Tv series The Royal Family, and interview at the same time for Entertainment Tonight, ..and had a heart attack during the interview process, when the director was upset cause Foxx wasn't on the set, but was doing an interview,..even though he wasn't needed on the set....
Lawanda Page(Aunt Esther) was Redd's friend since childhood in St. Louis. a great blue comedian in her own right, the first dirty female comedian. she loved Redd and was always there for him, God bless her soul.
The first dirty female comedian? Moms Mabley would have something to say about that.
The first dirty female comedian? Moms Mabley would have something to say about that.
you are correct, I guess. but we could argue level of dirty. Lawanda had some nasty party albums in late 60s.
Aaron Estes Now just imagine doing that in the 20's and 30's.
Born in St. Louis raised in Chicago, he was childhood friends with our late mayor Harold Washington ALL FACTS

I worked for Redd, along with my father who worked for him for more than 20yrs
I was in las vegas this weekend passed and went to redd foxxs burial monument and cleaned it up for him, and set the flowers upright, someone put a quarter and a few pennies on it so I put them all on heads and played my respects...then I went by his home and now Its a real estate office, I walked around it and looked at how it looks on TV.

Mark Birchette Very cool story. I've read, and heard that he was a very charitable man.
i went to canon middle school over there lol
Yes, I was his neighbor too i lived down the street from him on Tropicana, he was one of the coolest people I ever met, and he told me all about what the irs was doing to him. They made him sell all his personal stuff and everything its actually sad to watch this for those who knew him back then. His heart was broke like you said.

Did anyone saw him before he died
Rumors now say he saw something a guy from a pedo élite doing something
He was murdered like many other actors who didn't want to serve the high power Hollywood and the entertainment industry is rotten

It's so sad seeing Redd sell off his possessions to pay the IRS.
This is history!! Great footage of the greatest original King of comedy and queen of comedy!!!

It's been 20yrs now since he passed.RIP Redd.
Now its been 30yrs..😞
loved sanford and son one of the best comedys back in the day rip redd foxx
latinoheatariel.
it's timeless. Just as funny on reruns today as it was when it aired originally.
The IRS killed Redd, they broke his heart, body and soul.
He should have paid his damn taxes then!!....he was a great entertainer but a poor businessman and Stewart of his money....they let him get away with it for years at that!!...they finally had enough and when uncle Sam comes for you it's bar none at that point!!
HE damn near killed the IRS! He died $3.5 MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT! Class dismissed.
Redd health was bad , not to mention he was chain smoker
Agree.....❤
Yes and Redd unfortunately broke the law.
Wow, this is really a gem!!! The whole original cast of Sandford and Son minus the BIG DUMMY!!! But all jokes aside, this truly a tremendous piece of rare film footage of one of my idols, the late great REDD FOXX!!!
Diamond and Fred weren’t friends, unlike everybody else in the video
A shame a legend had too struggle in his last days . Open up the doors for so many actors and comedians .
Loss a true icon and legend will and always be missed

Great to see some of the cast from the show. Would've been nice if they'd have been in a financial position to help him. Must've been very unpleasant for Redd to go through this, leaving him feeling vulnerable. It's no wonder the poor dears heart gave out. He is certainly missed. 💙💙
Why should they help him? He had the money. It’s all his own fault.
Wow. I know you uploaded this 9 years ago, but if you still read comments...Thx for posting this treasure for all of us! 😀

It's good to see the old Standford and Son crew supporting Redd Foxx.
Young people learn from this video people used to genuinely love each other, care about each other cut out all the hate young people watch, listen ,learn
Just awesome your true friends always come back
Wooo great seeing this!!! I a big fan of the show!!!! I still watch it when it on and I feel I’ve seen every episode!!!!!
One of the great one of comedy.Miss you Redd.And was not selling junk it was his personal belonging to pay the damn IRS.
So wish this video wasn’t higher quality, but IRS killed Fred
Correction he allowed the IRS to kill him.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Rip! Miss you! Thank you for making us laugh!!!!🌞🌞🌞🌻🌻🌻
Truly the great Fred G Sanford. I am asian and i must have seen each of the episodes atleast 20 times and it cracks me up every time. He is the BEST.
Why does you being Asian matter?? We're all human beings.
His last video was actually filmed minutes before he died, Entertainment Tonight stopped by his soundstage to interview him on the set of The Royal Family TV show on the Paramount lot, A few minutes after the interview he had his heart attack.
I don't think that was released to the public though
Wow I can't believe you have this! Wat a great piece of history! Poor redd had to sell all his things for the IRS what a great comedian he was, I love redd, I still watch Sanford and son over and over, I love it!!!!
no other tv comedy compares, he truly was the greatest, trinidadians loved redd , believe me wen i say nothing makes me laugh harder lol
***** whats your point
Richard Pryor was Redd Foxxs' protege.
i wish i could of seen that final Sanford and Son Reunion they did called The Big One is Back Lawanda Mentioned does anyone got any footage of that
They have programs now where you can convert this to high definition, it will look a lot better. Thanks for posting.
This was clearly filmed off a tv screen playing the original video, find that original and the quality would jump 90%
If anyone hasn't already, please read the book, "Black and Blue". It is about Redd and it's awesome. Btw, thanks for the upload.
hows it going thanks for the video I'm a big fan of redd foxx and would be a honor to hear from you and awesome stories of legendary redd foxx !!
Wow! I felt bad that he owed the IRS so much. Sure to miss that show...was too funny!
He was one person I would of loved to have met
Wow, what a special video. I wish I would have known and visited.
Not his last video, his last video is when he died on the set..... he was making a Tv series The Royal Family, and interview at the same time for Entertainment Tonight, ..and had a heart attack during the interview process, when the director was upset cause Foxx wasn't on the set, but was doing an interview,..even though he wasn't needed on the set....
Let's see it.
910AM Superstation Funnies
yes that's right.
His last interview was taped with
Entertainment Tonight then they called him back to set and then died

This video looks older then 1991, but thanks for posting!
They Robbed Redd, he was such a good Man!!! R.I.P MR.FOXX
COURAGE IN THE FACE OF TRAGEDY.
G. O. A .T COMEDIAN rest on 🙏🙏
Smoking til the end, he was lucky to live to be 68
This is a fantastic classic!!
this is so cool! I remember as a kid my fam vacationed in las vegas and we drove past his house. thanks for the memories!
When I get to heaven, I want to hug God and then shake Redd Foxx's hand.
Wow! He got almost the whole cast there!
He had REAL SWAG 🙏R.I.P
I loved Redd Fox and the cast of the show Sanford and Son. It is a shame how Hollywood do the people who make their money with their talents.
Jews..all of the suits
You're absolutely right.
*A lot of people don't even know that Woodrow Anderson (Woody the wino) is still alive and well. His real name is Raymond Allen.*
+Randy Culpepper wow he is alive i figured he would have passed considering he was born in 20's
Arioch67 He's still alive at 86 years old and he's on Facebook.
+Randy Culpepper at 86? if he was still alive he would be 93 in December. I doubt he faked his death. I saw pictures of him in his casket.
RYAN5100 Raymond Allen was born on March 5, 1929. He is 86 years old and he's also on Facebook.
Okay i thought you were talking about Redd Foxx.
I would have loved to be there. That show was the BEST 👌
do you know or remember where this shop was?
Russell and Eastern
if I didn't care more than words can say
R.I.P. Your the best!!!
Redd was the only actor who could really make me laugh..He was a natural born comedian.saw him perform in Vegas,1990.
That store is now one of those payday loans! I just went by there a few mins ago! It is sad. Redd Foxx is the ONLY King of Comedy.
Hi
I love this great piece, thank u, love redd
Elizabeth, I'm coming!
Glad Redd Foxx didn't sellout for Lawanda Page Friendship over Fame
Just so sad!😭❤🌹
What a treat to see Red Foxx, LaWanda Page, Don Bexley and Whitman Mayo together.
