Richard Pryor, Kraft Music Hall special, 1964

“My mother’s Puerto Rican, and my father’s Negro, and we live in a real big Jewish tenement building. In an Italian neighborhood. Every time I go outside the kids say ‘Get ‘im, he’s all of ‘em!’”

Also recommended: watch all the way through with the volume muted. His body moves like nobody else.
