I never knew that Richard Pryor had such a great voice. He was so talented.
The first time I heard/seen Richard Pryor sing, I was blown away. Til this day, I am still blown away. This MAN had such incredible talent...I just wonder if he felt he did all could do to express himself the way he needed to. This is such a great performance!!!😀
My goodness, what a voice he had, the man could sing, so if he had not made it in comedy and acting, he could have killed it in music and what else?!!! He was not one-dimensional; he was well-rounded; wow!

Such a great shame he went n o.ded
He could have been like Cedric The Entertainer.
Yes! That as real as a song can be sung! What a talent🌷🌹🌺 Thank you Richard
This man could have had a solid music career. I am genuinely SHOCKED.
I am too.
Why did you know him? Really do you know yourself? You will shock you the most
Yes Richard Pryor was extremely talented!!!
its ok i heard he became a comedian or something
I didn't expect for him to sing like THAT. I thought it was going to be like a mediocre sounding, singing voice. Rich pulling out the extra "RICH" qualities in Richard. His voice was powerful and phenomenal.
A diverse talent indeed.
R.I.P. Richard Pryor.
The jazz phrasing and the power. Damn.
Well dang Richard
Wow. I had no idea. He has a great singing voice and knows how to use it. Why was this side of Mr. Pryor hide from us.
*hid*

@@timc4765 hidden Correct not! lest ye be corrected.
Yes, why? Why did he hide his light under a bushel?
They say all comedians want to be singers.
But Richard Pryor WAS a singer!

Learn grammar first before trying to be a grammar police.....lol
😄😄Wooow yeah man’ not bad not bad at all this is my first time hearing Richard Pryor sing he was truly a man with hidden talents.
My uncle ray was the Son of Richard Pryor. May they both RIP 💜😷💎
Richard Pryor is the goat of comedy str8 up
I knew he could sing, but damn 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had NO IDEA and I am both shocked and impressed.
damn.. this was really good. Pryor killed that.. 🔥
Wow 😳 I didn't know he could sing. He sounds great. If only Berry Gordy of Motown would hire him.
I'm sure Berry knew Richard could sing, but for some reason, he was just interested in him as an actor.
@@monilaninetynine3811 I dig that.
He was in The Wiz movie idk why they didn’t have him sing his part in the movie since in the Broadway play the wiz sings
Being hired as a singer by Berry Gordy didn't work out well for everyone
Wow! He sings beautifully. I would never have known Mr. Pryor was also a singer -- and an amazing one at that.
"You had to sing or something to get some pussy"
And he SANG
That’s a time when life was great compared to what we see now. Thanks for that.

Richard Sings the man could actually Blow!
Oh my. What a vocal! I was listening and not watching and didn't recognize the voice. Man, I am blown away.
Wow, you can tell those lyrics came from the heart!! Because those lyrics are true. Rip Richard. He was more than a comedian.
Yes he was
Man, what a range ! Richard is incredible :)
I knew he could sing from his toned down rendition of “There’s No Business Like Show Business” from the end of his classic 1977 special. But THIS is something else.
Wow never knew King Richard Pryor could sing!!
Never heard him sing. WOW!
❤🎉👌🎹Richard could sing! 🙏💞
Man oh Man!!’ Richard Richard, Richard!!!! Brother can sing on top of everything else😮😮😊

I love everything about this wonderful man.
'I would had lost a bet'!!!
Wooooooow and I am a huge fan,! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE.!!🔥🔥🔥🔥✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✌🏾
RIP CHAMP.🔥👊🏿✌🏾🙏🏾
When I seen the title of the video I thought it was a joke . I can't believe he could sing ! You learn something everyday !
This is awesome. I love Richard Pryor. I bought his comedy albums when I was too young to listen to them and had memorized them and performed for my friends. I was 13. I wish Richard were still here. 😇💜 RIP
Im amazed and impressed. I had no idea the man could sing. Why hasnt his voice been shown to the world? I would purchase CDs.
I just tried .. that song was not available on iTunes
Wow Richard Pryor had a beautiful singing voice! I’m blown away
This Chanel always put a smile on your face
So true.
It’s crazy how Richard, Jamie , Eddie were great comedians and great singers
Right.

@@luvphoenix956 Yes he was...look up "Party All The Time".
Eddie?
@@KardiFan2000 defense rests 🤷♂️

Okay, Mr. Pryor you had a beautiful voice! Wow!
Incredible! I wish he had included singing in his comedy!
Wow, Who knew? What a pleasant surprise!
Who listening 2022 🔥🔥🥂🥂
Why am I just now finding out this? Richard has wonderful singing voice.
I'm speechless
Richard Pryor Felt That One FR.
Wow ! What an amazing voice
Awesomeness! 🙏 RIP, King Richard
I remember going to Cafe Wha a basement bar in the Village in NYC they have all his photos up he started singing his first gigs there before comedy amazing.
Beautiful song wow🔥🔥🔥🔥
You can tell he really works hard on this channel…I’ve never seen or herd this anywhere 💯
Thank you for posting this. I never new Richard had pipes like this!
Wow! I didn’t know that he could sang to !
🥰that's right, he could "sang" baby👏🏿
He can sing❤️
Richard would run CIRCLES around Steve Harvey and his "singing voice."
Whoaaaaaa!!!! Effortless and perfect.
I've seen this clip a few years ago on YT.
Was a game show I think where celebs could do other things they weren't known for like sing , stand up etc. that he did this song for.
Richard Pryor actually started out his career as a comedian/singer/entertainer in the clubs in Peoria IL but was told he didn't sing well so he stayed with the jokes. He talked about it too in a biography. If he didn't chain smoke & wasn't told no I think he could've done both sing & jokes. His singing was really good!
👐🏼
Thank you for posting, never heard him sing. Wow so much talent! 👍🏼⚖👍🏼
Wow, I never knew he could sing so good wow 😮
Poooowwwwer-full. Everyone has multiple talents...especially my people... beautiful
AMAZING. I'm just tickled pink green and purple the Richard Pryor could sing like that!💜👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥👍🏾💐🎼🎵🎵🎶

Just beautiful.
That some history right there loved it
That was surprisingly, incredible!
Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant!!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Holy s***. Who knew? New respect! That man put it down!
Wow I've always been a fan of Richard Pryor since the seventies I didn't know anything like this thanks for posting it. Also what do you get all of these videos Man you have the best collection of black history I've ever seen.
Yes. Thank you.
Wow, you learn something new every day 👏🏽
This is definitely the best sound quality.
AMAZING
True Talent
Sing 🤣✌
Thank you 💕
That was pretty solid I’m very surprised
Truth be told, if you research Pryor's early days on the comedy circuit, this performance shouldn't be too much of a surprise. He did spend some time performing at the Cafe Wha?, a famous Greenwich Village club that also hosted a young Jimi Hendrix. I'm sure being surrounded by some great talent stoked those passionate flames in Pryor. JO JO DANCER, YOU'RE LIFE IS CALLING is another great peak into his storied career!
Yea back then u had to be able to several things at once
@@djtrakakadrunkpoet8598 Another surprise well for some was him saying he was gay for a week. But wife tolerated his being bi, but couldn't compete with freebasing.
WOW I'M AMAZED
wooow...👍👍
Damn this old man
I'm shocked but how did you get this treasure!! Never herd him sing ever 😲😲
Who knew,such a talented person
