Richard Pryor died over the weekend. He’s been ill with MS for a while now, so it wasn’t as if no-one saw it coming. He was one of the best stand-up comics EVER. I had a pirated copy of Here and Now and RP: Live in Concert on VHS, which I watched so much that the tapes actually wore out and became unwatchable. In the 1980’s I was convinced that Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy and Steve Martin were the funniest people EVER – Steve and Eddie consequently became remarkably unfunny as the years rolled by, but Richard Pryor never did.
So long, Jack.
yeah
He was one of the greats. Can’t say I’ve seen him in anything since, well, the 80’s, though.
