When I think of Richard Pryor, I always think of "Hear no evil, See no evil". A hilarious film. He will definately be missed. Sad

Like Lenny Bruce, he became notorious for the language he used onstage; and like Bruce, he was also a brilliant observer and storyteller who understood the essence of comedy.
