Dolemite: The Complete 1970s Radio Ads | Rudy Ray Moore

Comedian Rudy Ray Moore transitioned 11 years ago this month. The film biography, Dolemite Is My Name (starring Eddie Murphy), is currently playing in select theaters and will be released globally via Netflix on October 25, 2019. We at Reelblack are putting our weight on it tonight in celebration and remembrance.
The dominance of Black radio was instrumental in the success of Black Film in the 1970s (and also the 1990s). Hit singles by popular artists like James Brow, Issac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield were in heavy rotation up to a month prior to a film's opening. Studios bought ad time with with custom-made radio spots designed to capture the imagination of young moviegoers. Here is a collection of vintage radio sports for ALL of Rudy Ray Moore's comedy films from the 1970s. Originally shared by Drive in of the Dammed. Feel free to share your comments below.
Dolemite (1975)
Human Tornado (1976)
Peatey Wheatstraw (1977)
Disco Godfather (1979)
Monkey Hustle (1976)

Wow! This takes me back to my childhood. I had a ball watching,and listening to Rudy Ray Moore. Both my Parents Looved all the Blaxploitation Movies. So we got to see them all. And RRM was my Dad's Favorite. I know you probably got them laughing up there in Heaven! GOD BLESS You and R.I.P. Mr. Rudy Ray Moore.(Dolemite).

It's a damn shame it took so long, but I'm glad people are finally discovering the genius of Rudy Ray Moore because of the new Eddie Murphy film. Better late than never I guess.

[@Supremmo]

Dolemite should have his own cartoon on Adult Swim. I know there was a variation of him on Black Dynamite but it would be cool to see him in cartoon form.

[@hypeviews6440]

“Or permission from your warden” ??? Lmao ok so what Is all that about ???? 😔😂😂😂😂😂 “or a Note from your jailer” ?????? Please explain this 😂😂🤗🤗

[@reelblack]

The premise of Dolemite is that he is released from prison by the warden and Queen Bee to clear his name and shut down Willie Green.

[@hypeviews6440]

reelblack i don’t know.....sounds more like something that had to do with laws that were simple and feeble that has to do with probates going to rated R movies and it maybe being a violation without permission .
