STUCK IN THE VINYL AGAIN - RICHARD PRYOR - BLACK BEN THE BLACKSMITH

[maggot]

Good Tuesday morning, morning people and welcome back to Stuck In The Vinyl Again . Today we remember Illinois born stand up comedian and actor Richard Pryor, on what would have been his 80th Birthday. I'd like to think the world got a lot more funnier and vulgar at the same time, the moment he was born. He passed away in 2005, age 65, after suffering a fatal heart attack. He is missed. With him in our hearts, we put this 1978 Laff Records release, Black Ben The Blacksmith, in our heads and on our turntable. On it he tackles race, religion, prison, unemployment and the entertainment industry.
