Redd Foxx Funniest Man in America and Visual Artist (Redd could PAINT)


Yes, master comedian and king of the risque joke Redd Foxx was more than a chittlin' circuit comic....he could PAINT. 

Shown is a DooTo disc, one of many Redd put out on the label.  

Redd was named Sanford.  That's right, his TV show was named after his real name, James Elroy Sanford.  How did James get his name?  From his red hair and because he was smart as a fox.  Why he put on an extra D and an extra X is beyond me.  Smart and talented, and at one time literally the funniest man in America.  Most of us didn't get to see him perform in his prime, as the gigs he got were unfortunately for the most part segregated.  I believe Mr. Sanford put out his record in 1956.  Redd started his entertainment career in a washboard band.  He ended it working.
