Red Foxx was an "overnight sensation" at 49 whose early life was defined by adversity, and post-Sanford and Son years by a blur of women, cocaine, endless lawsuits, financial chaos and a losing battle with the IRS. But his trailblazing style had opened the door for generations of African American comedians.
Every word he said was funny -- The funniest dishwasher on this earth -- Redd Foxx looked better on a marquee -- I gave it to them funky -- The king of the party records -- It's not easy out there -- Los Angeles is a rotten town for nightlife -- Sanford and son -- The godfather of sitcom -- The way it is, I'm still in slavery -- A cross between Disneyland and a circus -- Like hearing zircon scratch glass -- I'd do anything for money -- They've taken everything -- God has plans of his own.
