Rudy Ray Moore: C/D?

Classic or Dolemite?

(Ans: Both)

Petey Wheatstraw!

I like how Rudy is open to audience participation.

I ain't lyin'.

Oh, so y'all don't believe I really jumped, huh? Well watch this good shit!

I have This Ain't No White Christmas and it is alternately mind-numbingly repetitive and fairly hilarious. great cover.

TANWC is good, but Good Ol' Big Ones (known by many other names, it seems) is better, I think. The Sensuous Black Man/Sensuous Black Woman, on the other hand, is truly bizarre. It's not comedy, per se, but a kind of a sex guide for black folks who perhaps might find something in their sex lives currently lacking.

"perhaps"

Rudy tends to recycle his comedy, even on the same album. (xp)

I have TSBM/TSBW on cassette, buried somewhere in storage, along with some other RRM tape gems. Now that I have a cassette -> MP3 system set up, maybe I'll dig 'em up for xfer.

'Dolemite' Comedian Rudy Ray Moore Dies at 71

Comedian Rudy Ray Moore, better known as "Dolemite", reportedly died on Sunday at the age of 71 from diabetes complications, according to media reports.

The death of Moore was first reported by EURweb and the site claims to have been informed of the news by comedienne Luenell, a friend of the Moore family.

Moore, whose actual name was Rudolph Frank Moore, is perhaps best known as "Dolemite," the uniquely articulate pimp from the 1975 film Dolemite, and its sequel, "The Human Tornado."

Rudy Ray Moore was also known as the "king of the party records" and released several comedy records during the 1960s and 1970s. His style is considered to be even more rude and explicit than contemporaries like Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor.

In 2008 Rudy Ray Moore reprised the character Petey Wheatstraw for the song "I live for the Funk" which featured Blowfly and Daniel Jordan.

awwww no man

Oh NOOOOOOO!

really bad news

"hey man you cant talk to my woman like that" "SHUT UP"

I'll take this one harder than any showbiz death since Altman.

~~~~AND FOR THOSE WHO DONT LIKE ME, CONFIDENTIALLY I DONT GIVE A DAMN~~~~

So you all don't I jumped, huh?! So watch this good shit!!

"man move over and let me pass before they have to be pullin these hush puppies out ya motherfuckin ass"

(Enter Dolemite behind the guy with large gun)
Dolemite: Breathin' down yo' neck!

Fair enough. I feel exactly the same way about screwball, after all.

Amazing story:

Here is a thing I made:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPScGzNywuE

So after years of hearing his (airable) records intermittently on WFMU, I saw Dolemite (1975) on AmazPrime just before seeing the Eddie Murphy film.

Are his later movies shit in a different way?

he doesn't learn any new tricks, i'll put it that way

I don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner, but Rudy is practically a poet.
