The first time I heard/seen Richard Pryor sing, I was blown away. Til this day, I am still blown away. This MAN had such incredible talent...I just wonder if he felt he did all could do to express himself the way he needed to. This is such a great performance!!!😀

My goodness, what a voice he had, the man could sing, so if he had not made it in comedy and acting, he could have killed it in music and what else?!!! He was not one-dimensional; he was well-rounded; wow!

I didn't expect for him to sing like THAT. I thought it was going to be like a mediocre sounding, singing voice. Rich pulling out the extra "RICH" qualities in Richard. His voice was powerful and phenomenal. A diverse talent indeed. R.I.P. Richard Pryor.

I've seen this clip a few years ago on YT. Was a game show I think where celebs could do other things they weren't known for like sing , stand up etc. that he did this song for. Richard Pryor actually started out his career as a comedian/singer/entertainer in the clubs in Peoria IL but was told he didn't sing well so he stayed with the jokes. He talked about it too in a biography. If he didn't chain smoke & wasn't told no I think he could've done both sing & jokes. His singing was really good!

Truth be told, if you research Pryor's early days on the comedy circuit, this performance shouldn't be too much of a surprise. He did spend some time performing at the Cafe Wha?, a famous Greenwich Village club that also hosted a young Jimi Hendrix. I'm sure being surrounded by some great talent stoked those passionate flames in Pryor. JO JO DANCER, YOU'RE LIFE IS CALLING is another great peak into his storied career!
