Eddie Murphy actually turned down an offer to do a Richard Pryor biopic because he knew the man personally. Man was his mentor.

[@shaunpenne1840]

He could impersonate Richard Pryor amazingly!!

Both legends. If you want to hear the best Pryor impression search "Godfrey"

In seriousness some prisoner had the death penalty and they did a botched execution on him . Technically he did die but he came back alive somehow . I think they let him go or he legally tried to be set free because he was pronounced legally dead .

Not to mention his performance back in the day on Saturday Night Live in the 70s point counterpoint go look it up. It’s hysterical. Couldn’t do that today in America, but it is a classic. I can remember where I was who I was with and what we were all doing when we saw itbring back the 70s man I want to go back and do it all over but I can’t go back. I know that’s what Eddie Money sang.

This was, and still is, the funniest comedian, in my opinion. He makes me laugh till I bust a gut to this day. Rest in peace, Rich. Aloha!

2005 i did a stint in the Los Angeles county jail and they played this. The whole dorm went crazy, first time i seen all races standing together laughing and forgetting about the politics of the times.. Rip Richard Pryor

[@t4nkychannel921]

Like the live version of Folsom Prison that Johnny Cash performed there and everyone went crazy for the line “but I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.”

[@BillyTobin-r6n]

Met Richard while filming superman 3 in Canada. Was coming back from a party, bout 5 AM and he's walking alone down some stairs, outside. Talked a bit an he signed my hat. Super nice guy, love his movies, FUNNY. RIP Richard. Take care man

Eddie Murphy’s red, leather outfit in “Delirious” reminds me of Richard Pryor’s suit in this concert - although Eddie says that his leather outfit was bought at the last minute because his preferred suit got a stain on it.

[@atrainabomb77]

@@NobleNobbler Eddie is very much on record as having viewed Richard as a mentor. A great comic emulating a great comic. Not a terrible recipe, eh?

[@markherring3513]

Eddie admittedly was/is an huge Elvis fan..all those leather suits, per Eddie, was a copy of Elvis and his outfits. He was mimic'ing Elvis.

[@Terry2227]

I remember a friend and I listening to this album and we were about 14 yr old. It was her older brother’s and I had never heard anything like this man. This album was mind blowing. This man is the one who started it all. Every famous comic today owes a debt of gratitude to this man.

[@DzNutzzz]

I met him in like 1985. My dad was a huge fan and I was at a video game arcade in Marina Del Ray. I could not believe it was him. He was really nice. My dad was so jealous.😅

Richard Prior - The primary writer for the Mel Brooks movie 'Blazing Saddles', he wrote lines that the actors uncomfortable saying but he convinced them that if the movie was going to hit the raw nerves of the audience then they needed to be said and Ceavon Little agreed. Kudos to the entire crew for ignoring the studio and making the film as it needed to be made.

Richard is the King because he didn’t have to fabricate much, he modeled his comedy stories after real life events.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

He had ability to tell things in funny way. He also wasn't afraid of telling of himself. Feuding injuries with Carlin spring to mind and peak with Pryor lighting himself on fire.

Growing up in the 1980s, I was only familiar with Richard Pryor through the numerous comedy films he did. I didn't see any of his stand ups until the 1990s and it was quite different. The films were family friendly flicks. His stand ups were not. Obviously he wasn't the only comedian to do it like that. It just surprised me is all. RIP Richard.
