Richard Pryor - 1970's-era Celebrity Roast, on RUclips, had Mooney on it with a bad a$$ 'Fro.... I was born in 1974... I watched reruns of The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, Good Times, All In The Family, What's Happening?, & Welcome Back Kotter. I never did see an episode of Chico and the Man though, with Freddie Prinze, Sr. I dig Richard Pryor, Dick Gregory, Joan Rivers, Robin Williams & Don Rickles, man. I liked Red Foxx as Sanford; I heard about Nipsey Russell, Lenny Bruce and Flip Wilson.
With the natural hair movement I'm currently seeing.....just stop it. Always got to be a miserable sad ass person saying some underhanded BS! We look good natural or not! I haven't straightened my hair in 6yrs.
So cool to see him fresh and just starting out on the stage. You can tell he was nervous. That all disappeared as he grew bolder and more confident in his career. He gave more to this world than most realize. R.I.H. Paul Mooney.
Rest In Power to Master Comedian, Writer and Actor Paul Mooney (1941-2021). Thank you for many, many years of laughter and consciousness. You will be sadly missed and never forgotten, Sir.
I've been looking for this for years!!! I saw this episode over 40 years ago and knew this brother was something special. So was this show!! Thanx for the download!
Thank you, Gerard. It's sad how most of these comments are irrelevant and childish ('Oh damn, look at James Earl Jones' beard!'). Comments like yours are greatly needed and appreciated.
Lol I couldna lived in the 70s the Jim Crow laws probably still was fresh in the 70 & they was probably still. The emmit till thing happened in 55 I think MLK got killed in 68. That's kinda like how long ago 9-11 happened from now or Katrina still fresh in memory
Xander Morrisette Jr. You could have. There was more black unity then and zero tolerance to white folk bs compared to how it is now. They had their neighborhoods and blacks and latinos theirs. What i mean even more so was if a cop or white person period did something to ANYONE black and got caught in the hood it was on sight off GP. Im saying that from a NY point of view. The generation now is way too docile towards other races but are more disrespectful to their own no matter if its a child woman or elderly. Its like we once had a fuckin code. Im not trying to preach but being a kid seeing stuff, Hearing my elders talk about situations vs how are people now its way different. Its like we were more proud to be black then....well at least thats how it looked to me 🤷🏾♂️
@@karong7017 was born in 93 I don't know nun about the 70s I was saying from what I see. Look like it was all about disco/funk music, arfros and watching good times
Leon Phelps if you want to see young Morgan Freeman. He started out on a PBS show called “Electric Company” he dressed kinda like Hendrix and played a cat called “the easy reader” diggit
So true. We are a beautiful people, with our lion's mane. We are the only people on this Earth that can grow these beautiful manes naturally. If you look at the hamites in Africa, they can't grow the beautiful beards and full afro's. We are a blessed and beautiful people that The Most High Yah created for himself.
@@dollyfrazier5885 you're right but he's nowhere near as flamboyant as he was then. All the hand movements and everything. He doesn't do it like that anymore. I have NEEEVER seen Paul this flamboyant and I watch anything I find Paul in. I'm watching this shit, thinking about what Aries Spears asked about Paul Mooney to himself in a stand up Aries was doing; where Aries was telling a story about Paul. He was imitating Paul drinking a bottle of water and asked to himself about Paul, "is this nigga gay?". LMAO!
@@tonyjones-clark4960 l have to disagree . Yes Paul is flamboyant till the day he die. Never the less, he is a comic genius. Most of the time people cant comprehend some of his jokes. Too deep, too profound. Jokes that give you something to about. That's a rare quality. No one is the same twenty or more years ago
Paul Mooney was such a gifted individual. It's pretty awesome to be able to see him on stage this early in his career and compare it to how he evolved as an artist. RIP Mr. Mooney you were an incredible talent.

@Hersey Berry Na, they were all black. They were Otis Redding's back up band. Their bass player who at the time of the plane crash was only like 18. He missed the flight and was the only survivor of the band except for one horn player who miraculously survived the crash. They later reformed the group with the relaxed hair cat, Larry Dotson as their lead singer and of course they started having success around early 77 with a song called "Shake Your Rump to the Funk" and the rest was history
Paul Mooney is a true comedy genius and legend..just like redd foxx and bernie mac..they are story tellers...when you feeling down..it feels good to hear a great story from one of the greats of comedy...😂💯
I was a Teen in the late 60's and early 70's. It went down hill beginning in the 80's. They were classy in the 60's though. Happy I grew up in that era. The look of today is a ball of confusion.
05/11/2019. Love me some Paul. Plenty of Truths!😍 This was a Special time.There were rules, values and love ,pride. It's time to for a Love Revolution!
Damn this man aged well, this is '73. He looked almost exactly the same until well into the 90s. And then in the 2000s he got maybe 10/20 years older looking 😮
One thing about being black. We gotta understand every black man young or old with feminine mannerisms isn't necessarily gay. Alot of our males grow up with only women at home and don't have males to mimic and learn from. One of my homies moves just like this and is hilarious but his father wasn't around and his family is mainly women. He's far from gay, he's still learning what he missed out on by not having a father around. I think we drive certain people to believe they are gay by not understanding this in our community
I think to assume someone is gay because of the way they talk or their mannerisms is dumb. It is stereotypes that ruin cultures. I have seen manly gay men, white people who dance well, tall asians, and a black president in my lifetime. The only people i discriminate against are assholes and it doesnt take long to figure out who those people are.
@@seanhart9706 I agree, but I do think it's normal and natural to make inferences from what you see. Ignorance, however, will make someone judge a book by its cover
@@nychellay ya i think it is normal and natural as well. But i think it is within us to evolve. I can see past it and so can you. One day i hope everyone can. When that day comes we can all as a human race find other things to be ignorant towards. 🤔
Paul Mooney is comic genius, I love how he pushed the envelop. He is one of my favorite comics of all time. I am a white male and don't care the shots he takes at white people. I'm not offended in anyway. Screw cancel culture. The world is less funny now because we lost one of the best comics America had to offer
All y’all need a life. Why my opinion matters. It’s sad that ppl can live without worry about what others say about someone else. Y’all enjoy yo so called lives
Great clip of this legendary comedian! Bonus points for the snippet of the Bar-Kays at the end...@LeeTate you are correct with your historical references.
Was this filmed in Oakland? He said he was from West Oakland. If you’re not in Oakland, you’d just say “Oakland” being specific to West Oakland, figured he filmed it in the bay.
This was great! I thought I had seen just about every Paul Mooney standup it was until this! Loved how all the brothers and sisters were dressed and wearing their natural hair!Also, shoutout to Larry Dodson at the end of the clip (The lead singer of The Bar Kays for all you youngsters) :-)
Love seeing this young vibrant Paul, I'm so used to 1990s and 2000 Paul but there's such a naturalness in the whole video, the women, men and even how everyone is laughing and not offended. 8 more years after this video and I was born.
Dig it,thick healthy natural hair,smiling beautifully,back Then the 1's the was worth havin all They wanted was respect and U take em outside 1nce maybe twice a wk She gnna ride wit U til the wheels fall off!!
Not as feminne as the black commiedians now at least he never soldout eh espacaialy if a black man hits on a girl its considered rape in this me too moment
James Earl Jones loves his White Women.. I find it weird to hear and see supposed pro Black folk date only whites never a black sistah? So help me understand that?
You like who you like but you still have to have your own back. Nothing complicated in that. Even if your so called community rejects you, to the rest of the world, you're still part of that community. I don't understand why people like you think not being racist amounts to being anti black. That mentality alone is enough to turn more open minded, progressive people off. It's both sad and disgusting that so much of the "black" community has allowed racism to make them lose their humanity and turn them into oppressors themselves.
I find it interesting that black folks who claim they are down with black folks continuously REJECT black folks for not conforming to the limitations many black folks adhere to. Explain that @Chelsea Bella. Gallo and you will find the answer you seek.
The implication of the phrase "A -free- Man is equal to his salt" could also be meant that he was worth the amount of effort he had strained in order not to be hooked and sold to how far he went or sweated.

No fears
I’ve watched more of his videos than ever before. I hold a lot of his views and damn near talk like him.
😭❤️
The world has just gotten a lot smaller and a lot darker rest in peace Paul Mooney 1941-2021
Yes!Yes!Yes! I wished I heard of him years ago! He 🗣 fax! Truth and can back it up!!! He will educate you in a very unique way! Very underrated!!!
❤
The world is bigger and better because we will always have him.
Most definitely. None will compare to his style and realness. My favorite comedian. 💯🙏🏽
Do you not mean a lot whiter?
Mooney is probably the most brilliant black comedian there was, he didn't sugar coat his routine, he gave you the medicine and it was usually bitter.
Although he did have a lot of sugar🤢
Don't forget that he was Richard Pryor's writer for a very long time..
Also salty, at times quite so.
God bless him. He gives it to you straight.
That's why racist Hollywood hate
him
