Redd Foxx and Scatman Crothers did it with such ease! No straining and tiresome emoting. Love them both. These days everybody needs AutoTune? I'm 63 and I give today's music a pass -- big time.
You can't watch this without thinking how much we miss these stars -- Red Foxx and Scatman Crothers. Lovely song. Their warmth was always felt with everything they did even when it was a low-key duet. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Love these guys always!
At the very beginning, look at the expression on Lamont's face. In real life Demond Wilson plays jazz drums. The expression on his face was not scripted. No actor can act the feeling a real musician gets from making music. He can feel the music that Scatman is laying down.
One of the great moments in Sanford & Son history... Great musical chemistry between Redd and Scatman. Love this version of the song and how they play off one another.
Scatman Crothers did the voice of Scat Cat in Disney’s Aristocats. Louis Armstrong was initially supposed to play the role that Scatman ended up doing. Louis recorded an album of Disney songs in 1968 and a preliminary drawing of Louis Armstrong’s character was on the liner notes. Louis got very sick near the end of 1968 and was inactive for most of 1969 and into 1970. He resumed performing in 1970 but on a limited basis. His health continued to fail in 1971 until his death on July 6, 1971.
Redd Foxx's phrasing is crazy! What a voice! 💜💜💜 There's nothing better than organic artists that have multiple talents. It's like they can do nothing wrong, art is just "in" them.
Foxx & Scruthers came from a period of entertainment where performers had to do a bit of everything. Scatman could act & be funny , Foxx could sing a bit etc. We should never lose this part of our history, it is at the roots of American music & as we move forward, should be respected as such.
A match made in heaven- Fred Sanford & Bowlegs- shup, shup shup, shup, shup shup shup, shoo be de day do, to which Mr. Stone replies I love it, I love it! Another top 10 best episode of the whole Sanford & Son series!
Does anyone know if Redd Foxx ever did a music album? I know he did a blues album when he was in his early 20's, but I LOVE his aged singing voice of his later years. It reminds me of a guy who lived in my neighborhood growing up who everyone called "Mr. Chillbill". Guy would sit out on his porch picking and singing all the time and he loved it when us kids would sit and listen. Redd sings just like him.
Scatman and my dude Red Foxx, or should I say that's Fred S A N F O R D (Period). Man this brings back so many memories. So much time have passed and so many loved ones and friends have passed on. I'm happy and sad when I watch this masterpiece.
I know this was made forever ago but i love this song so much im going to be listening to it a lot now its such a great song they should be making more of these duets these days
Redd Foxx always joke that he didn't know how to sing, but this is contrary to it. Good singing is all perspective I mean you take Louis Armstrong and he had a conventional voice and it was still a Joy to hear and listen to
I remember the scene didn't know the song, then later learned the song and loved it. Then realized that was the song Scatman and Red Foxx were singing. Gotta love those moments
Tears in my eyes with a smile as I watch this.....They don't make 'em like this anymore! REAL entertainers!!!!!
Pure joy!
If you love Sanford and Son, Redd G Foxx channel is all about it 👍
Scatman Crothers & Redd Foxx...two great performers!!! A great rendition of a classic song to boot!!!
R.I.P., Scatman & Redd.
He last appearence was in The Shining
Two great talents miss both of them RIP Redd and Scatman
They don't make music like that anymore
"you took the best so come get the rest of this mess" lol i love that line.
David Smith Yesss!
Absolutely 👍
I just loved this performance, especially the ending when they both fall out from laughing so hard!
Lekeathia Hampton when Fred said YEEEEOOOOOOOW in the middle of song....priceless lol.
You can't watch this without a smile on your face...TheGr8Jeff
Adrian Jefferson when Fred said YEEEEOOOOOW in the middle of the song.... priceless lol.
Very true
Agreed. When I want to smile, I watch Redd and Scatman. Whoa Yeah!
Amen! May be a little tear at the end..
UNFORGETTABLE ! ALL OF ME - SCATMAN CROTHERS AND REDD FOXX !
Such a marvelous rendition! After listening to such incredible artistry, it pains me to think about what gets passed on as music these days.
Indeed :-(

@Hammerschlägen M i saw the same thing, but he may be right lol, that face could also mean "God-ly, That's a funky tune" 🔥🔥
Well damn! I didn’t know Demond played drums. I know he can dance. But drums? Wow 😳
They were all full of talent, u tap dancing dummy! 😂
One of the great moments in Sanford & Son history... Great musical chemistry between Redd and Scatman. Love this version of the song and how they play off one another.
YES I AGREE

Red Foxx was a pure entertainer. Could do it all.
Great duet!! I also love the duet of Fred and Smiley Roger's doing 'Tis Autumn'
And Fred's staircase reprieve of "la tee da, dey la tee dah, tis dummy" to Lamont!
Classic
I remember recording this episode just for this part. I replayed it over and over....love it!

Redd sounds like the great Louis Armstrong.
He does. :-)
😝😝😝😝

This is epic! A beautiful rendition from two icons! Scatman and Redd
Yes. :-)
As long as it’s free might as well give me 8 bars.
Fred has a wonderful voice. R.I.P

Nah. Red Foxx can sing more than a just a bit.
11 Fish Eyed Fools don't like Great Music...
Fred G Sandford with the Great Scatman Crothers. Gotta Dig this!
Old clips like this make me miss my granddad so terribly. 😔
Wow!!! What great music chemistry. I smile every time I see/hear this. Such great talents. R.i.p to both Scatman and Redd.
When Fred is not trying to be a clown and singing “How can I be sure”…..
this dude can sing!!!!
That's the best scene on Sandford and son since the BB King singing at the club with Ester, Bubba, Lamont,Woody and Fred scene. Great Duo
You can tell just by watching this masterpiece, that these two men loved each other dearly. RIP to REDD & SCAT.
NOW THIS IS TALENT ! SCATMAN CROTHERS AND RED FOXX !
Fred: "YEEE....OWWWW!!!" My favorite by Fred. Classic episode. Miss the old natural actors n actresses.
I absolutely love this!! I miss tv like this!! Clean fun!!
Such a genuine look on Demonds face. He witnessed greatness live on the spot.
Just a damn classic. I love it.
This is so my fave❤🎵 .. I didnt realize this was a Sinatra song until this yr 😂

Sanford and Son's finest moment. Love the entire series, and this is the best of the whole series.

Up until then, you could have heard a pin drop!
Also love the joy and exuberance at 1:45
Scatman Crothers & Redd Foxx sounding great together..

R.I.P. Redd Foxx And Scatman Carothers
I was just watching this tonight on Me Tv. What an awesome program from my childhood.
Scatman had such a effervescent personality . Pure joy!
Next to Lady Day's, the best version! And hers wasn't televised. The low response is a sad thing - truly this is a work of art.
Redd Fox
Could do it all
And do it great
Magic 👌

I love this song! Thanks for posting a video that focuses just on this song.
Sanford and Son is the BEST! Redd G Foxx channel covers nothing but Sanford and Son ❤️💯
Fun fact: Redd Fox started off a singer who moved to NY with his band mates before taking on comedy
They NAILED that!!!!!!
Redd was a national treasure.
Redd Fox has had the voice for the Blues or Jazz. He could do anything he put his mind to.
Scatman and Redd. A sublime classic.
Those gentlemen had genuine talent!
I can’t possibly watch this without thinking of the Shining!!
definitely one of my favorite renditions of all of me
Scatman and my dude Red Foxx, or should I say that's Fred S A N F O R D (Period). Man this brings back so many memories. So much time have passed and so many loved ones and friends have passed on. I'm happy and sad when I watch this masterpiece.
Well i think 5 times of watching this in a row is enough.....for now...lol
I remember being amazed when I saw this for the first time because I didn't know he could sing!
This was just great!
Absolutely love it!
Scatman Crother, good singer.
Always loved his unique and raspy voice
My favorite Billie Holiday song... Redd Foxx style 😎
Love All of Me by Fred Sanford. I added just that part to my music playlist.
I love it!.. Fred Sanford was the best!.
Fred G Sanford Killed this tune!

An Incredible Performance!

I believe Redd Foxx could have made a singing career if he wasn't in comedy.

Who else loves sandford and son

The best episode by far
scatman & fred: cute rendition of a great oldie!
Redd Foxx had a singing charm like Louie Armstrong. Couldn't really sing, but you couldn't listen without having a smile!

20th Century America joyfully summed up in 64 bars.
You've gotta love it!!!!
Redd Foxx was cute as a button in this one...
YOU GOT IT FRED TAKE IT BABEEEEE

if you look at how Red Fox acts, Bill Cosby used to imitate his moviements and even the dressing in the cosbys. the braces.. everything.
One of the best version of the song))
