A unique talent. As a comic, his punch line came often out of nowhere. And an outstanding variety show! He came out in drag portraying Geraldine Jones, and had the whole country saying things, like, "What you see is what you get!" I miss him too.

last line is "Th' pilgrims will fix they ass" on the LP. Loses it's punch when sanitized, but he rocks the rest of it for sure. I loved him when I was 6, and miss him now. Great standup, and a beguiling personality. A better Eddie Murphy before (the great) Eddie Murphy. Amazing.

As a kid I always liked all forms of comedy. I remember getting Flip's album called "Cowboys And Colored People" and things changed. Flip took to doing comedic story telling, something that was becoming a dying art form and became a master at this. I miss Flip and quite a lot of those comics back in the 60's. Yeah most of them were clean and what's wrong with that? Flips routine of riding the train and a lady having an ugly baby is pure genius. Flip you were the best, really missing you. Oh by the way . . . THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT! Enjoy this man.
