www.hypeplustv.com/ - Redd Foxx for many is considered one of the greatest comedians to step on stage. Despite reaching mass success with his show Sanford And Son, at the end of his life it was revealed that Hollywood failed to treat the legend as he should.

Della Reese also was very upset when he went through his tax issues. She said her and Foxx lived together has they were trying to make it in Hollywood. She said Red Foxx put A lot of people on and took care of A lot of people once he made it, and she hated no one came to his rescue to help. R.I.P Redd Foxx

I remember hearing a story how Redd Foxx (RIP) helped out the legendary R&B singer Ruth Brown (RIP) after she had left the music business and was working regular jobs to just to get by. In 1975, she went to a club where Redd Foxx was in St Louis performing because a co-worker friend of hers didn't believe that she really knew Redd Foxx. When she got to the club she gave one of the employees a note to give to Redd Foxx and he said something to the effect of "Ruth Brown, bring her back here right now!". They met up and talked for awhile and after that Redd Foxx promised that he would send for her. About a week later he flew her out to LA and her career was resurrected big time because of Redd Foxx. She won Grammy & Tony Awards in 1989.

We saw him and my friend was so excited, ran up to him, grabbed his neck and kissed him on his cheek like 3 times 😂 and hugged him. He was walking towards his car and he didn’t say a word 😂 He didn’t turn his nose up or say get out of here or nothing. He just politely walked to his car 😂😂😂😂😂 His aura was so calm and loving.

RIP And POWER To QUEEN/EMPRESS #DellaReese Love How She Spoke Up For #KingOfComedy #ReddFoxx She Didn't Get Enough Of The Tributes And Accolades She Deserved when She Passed Away. Although I Loved Her On That Show She Was WAAAAAY More Than Touched By An Angel,Her Career Spanned DECADES Through Times When Black People Couldn't Enter A Restaurant In The Front,Even Black Celebrities Had To Go In Through The Back,She Came Up In A Time When Women Weren't Respected,This Is Why We Still Need To And Must ALWAYS HONOR OUR OWN,And Give Them Their FLOWERS While They're Still Alive To Enjoy Them!!! 👑🙏🏾🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💐💐💐💐💐💐💐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Redd Foxx was funny AF he is one of the all time great comedians of any generation. Even Richard Pryor, Chris Rock and Eddie Murphy said he was the most naturally funny person they ever encountered.

Facts. Mr Foxx was 68 years old when he died preparing for a new show when he should have been home enjoying life with his loved ones but did what he had to do to get that 💰 Rip to the great Redd Foxx

Redd never paid his taxes. He was also a gambler. Doesnt mean he was a bad person but you dont mess with the IRS.
