Redd Foxx (1922-1991) #BOTD went from an X-rated comic who made adults-only "party records" to a cuddly doll for kids.
The 1970s were a magical time.
This might have been the first time I heard #QuincyJones: "I just wrote what he looked like. It was raggedy just like Redd Foxx." #SanfordAndSon #Music #Funk #RhythmAndBlues #Television https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9z4zPKHbrA

Me: Watching Sanford and Son for the first time in maybe 40 years
My TV: Want to skip the intro?
Me: Not on your derpy little digital life, Polyphemus-of-my-living-room. This is one of the greatest TV themes of all time.
Sanford & Son, ha cambiato il colore della TV

#SanfordAndSon should’ve just been called the #ReddFoxx show, but every cast member was amazing in it. It reminded me of my Corona, Queens neighborhood and the junk shops in adjoining Willets Point. I learned that LA had neighborhoods just like mine in NYC.
RIP Norman Lear
«Norman Lear, the writer, director and producer who revolutionized prime time television with "All in the Family" and "Maude," propelling political and social turmoil into the once-insulated world of sitcoms, has died. He was 101.
Lear died Tuesday night in his sleep, surrounded by family at his home in Los Angeles, said Lara Bergthold, a spokesperson for his family.»

I don't feel qualified to say whether this is #Jazz or not, but this composition is PURE JOY to me.
Today in 1989, GENERATIONS debuted on NBC.
The groundbreaking soap opera was the first w/ a largely African-American cast.
#LynnHamilton (#SanfordAndSon, #TheWaltons) led a cast that included future Emmy winner #KristoffStJohn.
