▌ █▌ Biography: ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ The most groundbreaking and daring comic talent since the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ heyday of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor was also the most ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ controversial. Like Dick Gregory before him, Pryor ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ explored issues of racial inequity with great insight and ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ depth, tackling taboo topics that mainstream white America ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ would have preferred swept permanently under the rug. But ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ while Gregory used the stand-up stage as a pulpit to ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ preach messages of peace, equality and social change, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Pryor seethed with bitterness and anger; his was the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ foul-mouthed voice of the growing Black Power movement, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ uncompromisingly decrying the continued oppression of the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ conservative establishment while reporting on the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ African-American experience -- warts and all -- with ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ honesty and conviction. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Richard Pryor was born December 1, 1940 in Peoria, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Illinois. His early life was confusing and difficult; ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ raised in the brothel owned by his grandmother, Pryor's ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ mother was herself a prostitute, and his father was a ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ pimp. Living in the worst slum in the Peoria area, he ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ often found himself the target of gang violence; his sense ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ of humor was his only defense mechanism, and Pryor soon ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ developed a reputation as a class cut-up. By the age of ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ 14, he was performing with a local amateur dramatic group, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ and in 1964 he relocated to New York City to pursue a ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ career in stand-up. At the outset of his career, Pryor ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ struggled to find his own voice: on his self-titled 1968 ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ debut, he slavishly imitated the rhythms and themes of ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Bill Cosby on routines like "Adam and Eve" and the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ nostalgic "Girls," and only a bit about a black superhero ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ -- dubbed "Supernigger" -- offered any hint of things to ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ come. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Pryor continued performing safe, toothless comedy for ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ another couple of years, but during a 1970 Las Vegas ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ appearance he snapped; in the middle of the routine, he ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ rhetorically asked "What am I doing here?" and walked ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ offstage, effectively going underground and playing only ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ small black clubs for much of the early part of the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ decade. This period, along with his late-1960s work, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ served as the basis for an onslaught of LPs issued by the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Laff label throughout the 1970s; while a part of his ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ official discography, the material found on albums like ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ 1977's Are You Serious?, 1978's Black Ben the Blacksmith ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ and 1980's Insane was already many years old by the time ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ of the records' release. Not surprisingly, Pryor later ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ disowned the albums. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ By the time Pryor resurfaced in 1974 with the Top 40 hit ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ That Nigger's Crazy, he was a changed man; no longer did ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ mainstream concerns force him to suppress his bitterness ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ towards the white establishment -- now he took on issues ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ of racism with fire-breathing intensity, regardless of the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ consequences. Much to the surprise of many pundits, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ however, Pryor's career soared -- black audiences adored ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ him, of course, but liberal white audiences lined up for ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ his concert appearances as well. 1975's Is It Something I ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Said? fell just shy of the Top Ten on the strength of ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ routines like "When Your Woman Leaves You," a poignant ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ assessment of Pryor's well-publicized series of marriages ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ and divorces, while the centerpiece of 1976's Bicentennial ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Nigger explored two centuries of white oppression with ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ incendiary fury. Major roles in a pair of 1977 features, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Silver Streak and Greased Lightning, preceded the debut of ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ The Richard Pryor Show, a variety series for NBC; from the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ program's inception, he and the network battled constantly ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ over the show's perceived "bad taste," and its run lasted ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ only five weeks. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Pryor's life was spinning rapidly out of control; while ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ still smarting from the NBC debacle, he made headlines ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ that New Year's Eve for drunkenly shooting up his wife's ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ car. The incident became the basis of his opening routine ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ for 1978's Wanted: Live in Concert, an ambitious ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ two-record set which led to the 1979 feature Richard ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Pryor: Live in Concert, a highly successful film document ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ of his stage act. As his career again looked on the ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ upswing, however, tragedy struck: in June, 1980 Pryor ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ nearly burned to death, a mishap variously attributed to a ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ freebasing accident and a misguided attempt at suicide. A ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ long recovery period followed, as he struggled both to ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ kick his longtime drug habit and rediscover his creative ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ energies; a trip to Africa ultimately renewed him ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ spiritually, and he returned to America a new man, one who ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ declared he would never use the word "nigger" again. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ It was a wiser, more mature Pryor who resurfaced in 1982 ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ with the film and album Live on the Sunset Strip, in which ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ he discussed both his brush with death and his odyssey to ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Africa. His humor turned gentler and more introspective, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ and while his stand-up retained its edge, his career as a ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ film actor suffered through lightweight, pedestrian ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ comedies like The Toy, Brewster's Millions and Critical ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Condition. 1983's Here and Now was his final concert film ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ and album; three years later, Pryor was struck with ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ multiple sclerosis, effectively ending his career as a ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ stand-up performer. He appeared in a few more film roles ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ before the disease began to cripple him; following 1991's ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ dismal Another You, he largely disappeared from sight. ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ Finally, in 1997 a wheelchair-bound Pryor made a brief ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ appearance in David Lynch's Lost Highway. An ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ autobiography, Pryor Convictions and Other Life Sentences, ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ was published in 1995. Five years later, Rhino addressed ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ the sad state of Pryor's back catalogue with the release ▐█ ▐
▌ █▌ of ...And It's Deep, Too!: The Complete Warner Bros. ▐█ ▐
