A man who needs no introduction, Pryor’s unflinching stand up routines were not only hilarious but also brutally honest, focusing on American race relations and his own highly controversial life.

Prior is quoted saying

“I live in racist America and I'm uneducated, yet a lot of people love me and
like what I do, and I can make a living from it. You can't do much better than
that".

Prior’s wife, Jennifer, tells a story of the effect Pryor had on people

"Bigoted rednecks came up to Richard and told him, 'Thank you for opening my
eyes,' because he was so in touch with the truth and only spoke the truth ...
people respond to that”

All I can say about Richard Pryor is that he lived an interesting life, was an interesting man and he made me laugh so hard that I could barley breath.
