  • This is one of my favorite Richard Pryor interviews. It originally appeared on the Grammy winning box set, AND ITS DEEP, TOO (2000) that is now out of print. Recorded during the filming of the 1983 concert film HERE AND NOW (audio was recorded but film was either not shot or hidden in Columbia Pictures vault), Recorded June 5, 1983 (4 days before the third anniversary of his attempted suicide by self immolation) It captures Mr. Pryor at one of his most thoughtful, vulnerable moments. Each time I listen to it, I discover new jewels. Presented for historical purposes, feel free to share your thoughts upon listening. © Warner Brothers Records/Richard Pryor

    THIS BROTHER WAS VERY SMART. Richard tried to tell us something before he died, Richard saw something that would change his life forever. Richard saw in the Pyramids of EGYPT, that the people on the walls were BLACK PEOPLE. he said one of them looked just like his Uncle.

      Domo Jones I feel the same way. Although, I do admit prior to Richard Pryor, there weren't any brash and outspoken Black comics who became Hollywood box office megastars. Yes, I respect Redd Foxx as well. However, it was Pryor who broke the mold for Eddie, Martin and Dave among many others.
