I actually saw Charlie Byrd sing this at Blues Alley in DC shortly before he passed away. I was like I know this one from Sanford and Son. (In my head of course)
Ever wondered why Redd managed to carry a tune so well? Turns out, per his biography, that he used to be in a singing group back in his young days. Imagine that!!!!
Timmie "Oh Yeah!" Rogers should be remembered for being one of the first Black comedians to dress in formalwear and without blackface when he performed. Also, Redd Foxx makes an unwitting cameo in a famous book. Since he was a train porter at one time, he was remembered by a fellow porter, Malcom Little in the Autobiography of Malcolm X.
I feel the same way whenever I see this performance. Even inside of a scripted show, the authenticity and sincerity is on full display. RIP John Elroy Sanford aka "Chicago" Redd Foxx and Timothy Louis Ancrum aka Timmie "Smiley" Rogers..tis thank you!
African American comedians had to be so talented in different areas to make it. Fred actually honed his comedy skills before 'Television,' doing vaudeville for a number of years. The performers there were often singing, dancing, and doing comedy. If you couldn't do all of them, then no job. I'm so proud of Redd for featuring these guys who refused to compromise to racism.
Lamont walks in:
"La de dah, de la de dah, 'tis Dummy!"
i was hoping that was included in this clip!
🤣🤣🤣 the funniest part
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was crying when he said that
😆
I sing this every October as the leaves turn call it my Fall song.
My man! 🤣
I absolutely loved how they were so expressive in singing this. And they sound so cute!
I liked this tune from when I first heard it on this show in the 1970s. I've heard a number of other versions since, and this one remains my favorite.
Mine Too
Mine too

Yes!
Redd Foxx is missed. My dad loved Sanford and son
I don't know why the audience is laughing at any point aside from the "one more time"; this is just pure folk bliss and beauty

Does anyone know what episode this is
Season 5 Episode 96. Brother can you spare an act?
Please make the Steve Harvey episodes in private again
You DO know that's Smiley Rogers, NOT Steve Harvey in the video clip, right?
Funny shit
Timmie Rodgers could've been a superstar but Jackie Gleason and the White Pride shut him down.
OMG!
Jackie Gleason? I’d love to hear that story. Please share. Thanks.
