What is the song at 4:45?
Richard Pryor is a comedian come in once in a lifetime a true legend
I wonder when white people are going to stop being racist.
BEST ACTOR 👑ðŸ’â€â€
Kathy McGee was a dime in the 70s
Damn jimmy walker 😳 ðŸ˜â€Â
Jayjay was ulgy
Las Vegas 1967 was like a Metallica concert……WHITE!!!!
Funny how these people make everything about RACE in his book its mentioned but very little
Richard Pryor the King of Comedy
!
Ps Much Appreciation
He was the real king of comedy just I'magine richard Pryor, redd fox and Eddie Murphy and martin lawrence the kings of comedy
King of Comedy
My father was a big fan of Richard and so am I, still watch his stand up and movies, but this all white in Vegas looked so scary. Who thought of doing that.
There were no black people in Vegas at that time, oh wait, Sammy Davis Jr. was there, but no other black folks. Dumb!
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS IS A DIRTBAG!
I live in Las Vegas now. Times has changed. I like this town.
Maybe Dean Martin look at him and wondering what TF he was doing because he knew Pryor wasn’t being him self, that he recognized that he could do better? Just a theory.
R.I.P. LEGEND 💯💯💯
Jimmie Walker looks like his breath smells like a stable of dead horses
there is no such thing as schizophrenic as the united states, the biggest porn industry, arms sales to children, but Fu .. you can not say on us -TV?
All the people in this documentary have an overblown vision of self-importance. It wasn't a white man that effed him it was his own father.
Jimmie Walker look a mess whew just ugly
The real ðŸÂ rest in eternal peace brother ✊ðŸÂ¾
Null and Void….. Richard loveddddd cocaine from Detroit watch #MotownMafia #Alprofit documentary on YouTube
jimmy walker didn't age well…that's kind of hard for black!! most of us preserve pretty well
"Dean Martin was like the awfuls who took me out my uncle's house at night…he was nasty…treated Sammy like he was better. Dean Martin was an excrement of Earth…like those in Mississippi 1955…same."

At 1:12 the lady Kathy McKee she has to be a black woman she was very clear and emphasized the level of racism it was in Las Vegas back then. Calling it like it was
Jimmie Walker says there were no headlining black acts in Las Vegas in the 60's. That is not true. Nat King Cole was a huge black entertainer in Las Vegas in the early 1960's at the big casinos. Walker is just another whiner crying discrimination when he does not know what he is talking about.
I don't think that it is fair to criticize Dean Martin for not understanding Richard Pryor's comedy. They were from completely different eras which would affect their views of what was funny and what wasn't. It would be like criticizing Eddie Cantor for not understanding Dean Martin's comedy.
I see a lot of people with white clothes
My mom worked with him before he got famous…at Macy’s 😂
What is the name of the song, at the 6:20 mark?
This is a waste of time.
"I'm really nervous cause I ain't had no cocaine all day .. Love Cocaine"

"What the F#@k are you doing ?" – Dean Martin telling Richard Pryor (Jennifer Lee Pryor = one of Richard Pryor's many wives)
I have an album releasing in March, entitled “The Franklin Lennox Thomas Showâ€ÂÂ
I say that now, because I am proudly, introducing the new wave of “Rich†fans to one fan’s influence and downright idolatry of the way in which Richard Pryor expressed his pain, love and life through ART.
Why just comment on this now? Well, because, respectfully, I don’t wanna be labelled as someone who “just found him.†There’s not a THING wrong with someone who did, but as aforementioned…I didn’t. He’s inspired atleast a portion of EVERY YEAR of my life, since, say 2011, which was over five years after he passed, however it was when I found “Rich†and who “Rich†was.
I’ve been thankful for his influence (as aforementioned) atleast once, every year since….I like to think that I appreciate the path he single-handedly trail-blazed as much as anybody, ever. It inspired us all in unmeasurable ways.
Ok, I’m done here now. Stevey Owens -The Franklin Lennox Thomas Show….coming to you on all music platforms in March 2020
Have a great night, jack
I never thought he was funny
Dave Chappelle is the modern day Richard Pryor
