@TecwellTruck 1991 was a time when life took a shift for many. Even though I was getting through some rough times, I will never forget so many wonderful people that I met who encouraged me to hang there. Fast forward to 2024, I know we still have beautiful people around, but I seldom encounter people who are genuine and sincere. There are many reasons these days are far worse than the 90s. I am just glad I can look back and smile about the days of old. Since 911, the smiles started getting less. Since 2009, it has been hard to keep smiling dealing with people who, most of the time, turn out to be full of it 😆 I appreciate your comment 😃

Moments like this make your day back in the days on Sunday my dad an my older brother listened to record hangers bilcrosby and Richard prayer

What a wonderful time that was for music and entertainment, those days will never come back 😔

This is when entertainment was great.

So many legends that passed away I enjoyed this

This was one of the most touching and beautiful tributes I've ever seen. I remember listening to Richards albums when I was a little kid. My dad being an r&b musician I grew up in bars and backstages. After a while you aren't thought of as a little kid. Especially when you can load your pockets with cash playing 3 card Monty and other methods of relieving adults of the burden of carrying a heavy wallet. I had many "uncles" most of them were pigmently gifted where as dad and I were not. They'd be sitting around talking about Richards acts and dad would do his version of Mudd Bone. The first album I got to keep had the skit about 11:30. I'd do it at school and my friends would die laughing. Soon we'd be listening to it every day. To see the looks on kids faces when they heard that was priceless. Scared the hell out of some. To others it was our thing. Most kids grew up on sesame Street and electric company. I grew up on Monty Python,Cheech and Chong and Richard Pryor. I don't know how anyone could watch this show with dry eyes. Rip Richard you truly are loved and missed.

Rest easy Mr.Pryor you are truly missed. It's such a blessing to be celebrated while one is still here and to see and feel just how much one is truly loved.Thank you crown Jewel for sharing such a heartfelt celebration with us. I'm sure Mr.Prayor is looking down on this with smiles of joy that even now he hasn't been forgotten.

If you've ever wondered where Eddie got the idea for Randy Watson & Sexual Chocolate, (Coming to America) You just saw it with Bobby Womack … On a serious note, Richard Pryor IS the one of the reasons life can at times be utterly amazing. If there's one person on earth that should have stood no chance at all getting where he got, it's him, given the times and his early life. He'd readily admit himself he sucked at being lots of things and he did, BUT as a comedian he made everyone else look like they were all just driving in the slow lane. His observation and storytelling style, to this day are what others strive to emulate. It's rare to pull off, yet he made it look effortless. Largely as it was his own life he was talking about and I highly doubt others could, or would make it seem remotely funny considering such a life. He's widely and rightly regarded as one of the greatest and most important stand-up comedians of all time. Dave Chappelle said of Pryor, "You know those, like, evolution charts of man? He was the dude walking upright" Enough said.

The performance of the song 'Wait until the Night' was unbelievably great. Burt Reynolds speech in tribute to Richard Pryor was emotional, real, and ultimately, true, because Pryor holds the title. What's amazing about Keenan Ivory Wayans speech is that Richard gave that feeling to white kids also. He had such a deep humanity to him. Good god is Stevie Wonder talented. We hear it all the time, but holy x is he a great vocalist.

Rain got her ability to sing from her father ..look it up, their are examples here on you tube . he had a nice singing voice! the man was very talented! and funny as Hell! the ALI of Comedy! THE GREATEST!!!

Great special. I saw this when it aired on TV. My only beef is why they waited til he wasn’t well to do this? Why not do this in ‘85 or something? Then again, at least he got his flowers when he was alive to see it.
