Richard Pryor died today at the age of 65. I saw the movies Silver Streak and Stir Crazy and Which Way is Up (I think) or at least I remember hearing the Staple Singers singing the theme song to the movie soundtrack. In Harlem Nights he was oh so cool - his voice and mannerism, I enjoyed his performance. Other than that I was a kid when his stand up was big and wasn't allowed to listen to any of it.
