Totally agree. I saw him a few times in Las Vegas.

My favorite Foxx Vegas story - Midnight show at the Hacienda. Sanford music up - "Ladies and Gentlemen, Redd Foxx!" Foxx walks out, looks to see an audience of maybe a dozen people. "I ain't doin' no show for 12 f-in' people" and walks right back off to the Sanford theme. Refunds were provided.

Really? I don't think I've ever seen him doing stand up. I'll look for him.

I try to watch as many "classic" comedians as I can. Found this cool page on Bing - and I don't see Red Foxx on the list.
