John Elroy Sanford[1] (December 9, 1922 β October 11, 1991), better known by his screen name Redd Foxx, was an American stand-up comedian and actor, best remembered for his explicit comedy records and his starring role on the 1970s sitcom Sanford and Son.[2] Foxx gained notoriety with his raunchy nightclub acts during the 1950s and 1960s. Known as the "King of the Party Records", he performed on more than 50 records in his lifetime. He also starred in Sanford, The Redd Foxx Show and The Royal Family. His film projects included All the Fine Young Cannibals (1960), Cotton Comes to Harlem (1970), Norman... Is That You? (1976) and Harlem Nights (1989).
In 2004, Comedy Central Presents: 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time ranked Foxx as the 24th best stand-up comedian.[3] Foxx not only influenced many comedians,[2] but was often portrayed in popular culture as well, mainly as a result of his famous catchphrases, body language and facial expressions exhibited on Sanford and Son. During the show's five year run, Foxx won a Golden Globe Award and received an additional three nominations, along with three Primetime Emmy Award nominations.

It's not even his jokes, its his personality and his delivery. Foxx is the kind of dude to sit out by a grill with a beer and keep you entertained for hours.

I inherited a 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis from my grandparents in the early '90's. My grandfather, as I discovered, was a huge Redd Foxx fan. He left his collection of Redd Foxx 8 tracks in the glove box. That's when I was first introduced to his standup comedy. I had been a fan of Sanford and Son (in syndication) before that. Without Redd, we'd probably never have Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock or Jamie Foxx. A treasure.
