Flip Wilson - Ray Charles and Geraldine

[@cindymalone4006]

My family watched Flip every week.

[@kathleenmckeithen118]

I am nearly 75 and still love these two amazing talents!

[@sylhomeo6351]

When we first came to Canada we didn’t speak English but my father laughed himself silly just watching Flip. I still love him!

[@allsbrookm]

We don't have classic comedy like this anymore. Flip Wilson was hilarious!!! RIP Flip and Ray.

[@boomerang905]

So true. We had great entertainment.😊

[@montibarnett6740]

I so deeply miss flip Wilson and Ray Charles

[@31Alden]

Flip, er Geraldine, certainly had the moves that would bring any man to his knees, including the great Ray Charles! This is priceless. We miss you, Flip!

[@suzannenagrocki5396]

Wish we had this kind of entertainment TODAY!!!

[@benjiebenjamin7810]

Absolutely awesome Ray Charles & hilarious Geraldine. Way too cool.... Memories ❤️🤣

[@cynthiadye1679]

Always love the flip Wilson show especially when he played Geraldine.

[@2dasimmons]

Ray Charles in addition to being a super-talent was also a character. He and Geraldine are FUNNY together. RIP Ray Charles and Flip Wilson😍

[@stevenhosea4849]

2dasimmons You’re. Yes. Hi honey

[@laurapenwell9412]

Flip Wilson was one of the funniest comedians of his time! Geraldine always cracked me up! 😂😂🤣🤣

[@tammymcc-n7652]

Loved watching The Flip Wilson show back in the day as a child. Not dirty but very cool double entendres. That don’t make em like that anymore.

[@ryankc3631]

When families watched TV together.

[@watchful38]

A very good point! There are so many forces out there threatening the Family. The Propaganda is everywhere! A retired Catholic priest in Canada.

[@spaceshipenterprise9062]

@ RyanKC, a very good point.

[@geoffreynutt845]

Amen

[@montibarnett6740]

I miss watching TV is a family too

[@johnlee5423]

Aa someone from the UK that is true

[@watchful38]

Flip Wison and Ray Charles together! What an entertaining duo! Both have passed away, but we can still laugh and enjoy their comedy act. A retired Catholic priest in Canada.

[@melissaupton2097]

My entire family was in front of the TV every time Flip Wilson's show aired. I think that was the most I ever heard my Father laugh!

[@boomerang905]

It was so much fun. 😂

[@jeanettemarie6456]

Good old days

[@robinwilson2238]

Yes the good old days!

[@naomiperreira1809]

Flip Wilson said that he got the nickname of Flip when he was in the Navy from his friends, but I forgot the reason why. Thanks for sharing this great skit of music, and happiness with others. ✌️💞

[@tinaballinger2903]

Wow that brings so much fun time. I am in my 50's but God blessed me with Geraldine!!

[@tboudreau5239]

Grew up with this. Fell asleep to mom playing Ray Charles albums. Flip in my teens. Good stuff makes the bad go away

[@Canyon2023]

Great dancing!!! Geraldine had the moves!! 👩🏾

[@doyoulovehimloretta1607]

I can still hear my Dad laughing at this skit 60 years later.

[@oldschoolfunkster1]

I wish some streaming service would show all his episodes. This was one of the best variety shows of its time. Heck, it still holds up.

[@MsBUC40]

The FLIP WILSON SHOW is FREE on TUBI

[@siegridthomas9674]

OH MY GOD THIS NEVER GOING TO COME BACK.......MARVELESS

[@JerryD121657]

Two legends on the same stage. That was wonderful.

[@tarnsand]

haha 'Geraldine' started it all back in the day!!! Who didn't love Flip Wilson. My Grandma used to laugh until she cried when GJ appeared each week. Notice how the audience is genuinely roaring with laughter. No 'applause' sign needed, I'm sure. Thanks for this!!!

[@sharonjohnson3414]

Jhh😊k😢😊jh

[@GabbyD5050]

I always enjoyed Flip Wilson's show. He's so funny as well as talented.

[@Slaveship-zh8vx]

Ray Charles was laughing so hard that he almost fell out of his chair, especially when Flip leaned on his head and said "Trust me Ray, trust me." Ray is cracking up!

[@tyroneprice6642]

Ray Charles a true great entertainer. I will always remember theses episodes.

[@JonnyQ358]

“We don’t just give it to anybody” Brilliant!!

[@gracie8538]

"I must admit, that's kind of a terrible price for me to pay" ,..Ray was smooth with that insult delivery and Flips' facial expression to it wS on point.
