I am a 32 year old black man and I grew up listening to Jerry Clower with my father . These stories bring back to memory of some of my best child hood memories. Any idiot who would say that he is talking about lynching blacks is just plain dumb and really does not understand southern humor.

I am a black man born in rural Georgia and Jeryy Clower is one of the best old time comedians ever. Man does not curse and tell s funny stories about how he grew up and what life in Mississippi was like. Its all jokes and good ones at that. people grow up and enjoy, laughter is the best medicine!

I'm a woman of color and grew up listening to Jerry Clower with my grandmother and great grandmother in Raleigh NC .. especially on the road while traveling out of state going to Kings Dominion or Six Flags of Georgia.. Awwww the good old days. Great memories.. I'm 51 now. ❤

Im black and was a DJ back when i was younger and i would mix Jerry Clower jokes in with my music while DJ-ing in the clubs and people thought it was the funniest thing to do while playing music and they really enjoyed it to the fullest 👍 up to Jerry Clower, one of the funniest man during his time on this planet.

42 I grew up with this man….. Straight up southern gentleman nothing but love

I graduated from Mississippi College in Clinton MS and when they announced the commencement speaker as Jerry Clower, I was pissed. I spent a lot of money on my education and now we have a comic for the graduation speaker. Well boy oh boy was I wrong. Mr Clower gave the very best graduation speech I have ever heard and I was proud to shake his hand when I got my diploma. What an amazing person. I miss him so much. Thanks for reading.

I lived in Macon GA and my son was just born. I'd get up to feed him his 3 AM bottle and listen to WWL New Orleans on my radio. That's when I first heard Jerry Clower. I laughed so hard I woke my son up. Nov. 1971.

My name is Kristian Elisabeth Clower and i am very proud that i was close kin to this man. :) I'm only 15 but i know that i have a good thing going for me when i say that being related to this man has opened many a door. I only met him once i was a rowdy lil' girl four when i met him, two months before his heart bypass. God bless him, but he made me laugh so hard i literally pee'd myself adn my momma had to go and clean me. I wish you could have known this man like i had.

Jerry was a great American. My entire family would travel all over the United States listening to this great American. I'm from Jackson, Mississippi and my daddy loved to tell stories and one of his idols was Jerry Clower. By the way, as a black man, I think Jerry was one of the best comedians ever. Knock him out Jonnnhn!! I was stationed in Germany and would listen to Jerry to bring my mind right back to Mississippi.

I grew up listening to this man on cassette tapes. I loved it! I wish we had more comedians like him! I bet he's in Heaven making the Lord laugh now.

All I can say is is a damn shame that certain groups make this kind of comedy against social acceptance to put it kindly. But what they fail to realise is that Jerry was born and raised in a different time and this is why he has honest to goodness great stories and that is exactly what they are. What he says is not racist or discriminatory it is just the stories of his life as he lived them simple as that.

I grew up listening to Jerry on the radio. My family had absolutely no problem whenever i bought one of his album. They didn't have to listen to it first to see if it was decent for a little girl. The values and stories were of the life around us.. God Bless You Jerry Clower. The Lord is surely laughing with you.

I was privileged to meet Jerry twice and it was as if I'd known him all my life...such a sweet and gentle man...I was in my mid 30s when I read of his passing in the newspaper...I sat down and cried. He was a true original...there'll never be another one like him

No unfortunately there will not because the people of today would plainly hate them out of a career if anyone dared to tell stories like his and that says more about what kind of people they then it says about anyone then the person they are talking about. The sad fact is he was raised in a different time when things were harder and you had work your ass off to get ahead and he was one of the lucky that was able to talk about his life and make a profit and one of few that used that to give back. Great loves for him and all he stood for and very sad we will not see another like him.❤💔

Love Jerry he's good ole classic comedy. Reminds me of a relative I never had

Jerry Clower is the icon for true stand up comedy. Absolutely awesome man

I got to see Jerry several times. I could hear him over & over & I'd still laugh till I cried. I will never forget talking to him at breakfast one morning. He was just as common & real as he seemed. I told him how much I appreciated his telling stories without being vulgar. He thanked me & asked me a question. That's about all but I'll remember it always. There is no one to replace Jerry in my books!!

One of his best ones me and my dad used to get his tapes and ride all day listening to him used to laugh so much boy this takes me back good memories

Used to listen to jerry at bedtime when I'd stay the night with my grandad as a kid always thought they sounded just alike

Jerry once defined a comedian as a perswon who tells funny stories and a humorist as a person who tells stories funny. He certainly is a humorist - and one of the best.

I use to listen to my dad's Jerry Clower records (when he wasn't around that is☺) , this brings back fond memories.

I have heard all the coin stories! Just visiting remembering how good we had it back then.

My best friend Bunky had his album in the 70s and played this story , I thought I never quit laughing. I became of a fan of Jerry's forever. I got to meet him twice in person from his concerts. He was a very nice man and would stay till everyone got a picture and autograph. He would talk with everyone. God Bless him ....

I LOVED Jerry CLower. I'm so glad he shared such laughter and joy with so many of us.

My Father loved Jerry. We’d laugh & listen together. R.I.P. Daddy, I’ll be seeing you x

Good, Clean, Humor! 🪶 Jerry Clower was in a league of his own...

Had this one memorized as a kid....gonna do it again!!! Listened to brother Jerry a lot in those days. I'm 50 now. Life shure woulda been lackluster without the great Mr. Clower and Justin Wilson, who I'm sure borrowed and Cajunized a few of these tales. But that's ok too. Keep us all laughing.

Grew up on Jerry Clower. He was a fine man and a great entertainer.

Jerry preached at our church years ago. He was wearing his white suit and red boots. He was wonderful.

There will never be another one like him

I was blessed to have met Jerry in Liberty Mississippi in the General store on Broad street. He was so cheerful and just a pleasant man to be around. There were some older men there about his age all talking local farming and politics . I was a Log truck hauler going from Bogalusa Louisiana to St Francisville Louisiana and had to pass thru Liberty Mississippi a couple times a day. He just gave off a Pleasant Godly feeling being around him.

Saw Jerry Clower at a farm show in Goldsboro, N.C. 25 years ago. He had on a baby blue tuxedo and white shoes. I'll never forget it, the funniest man what ever told a story....

In 1985 @ MCAGCC 29 Palms, my friends and I listened to Jerry Clower in a Motor Transport Maintenance 2.5 ton box van. In the middle of the Mojave Desert, it can get mighty cold and lonely during the Winter months. Jerry Clower had us all laughing and forgetting how nasty the CHICKEN-A-LA-KING - MRE tasted!

I love Jerry Clower. Miss him.

Jerry Clower could tell a story that would knock your socks off! Such enthusiasm has never been sence his day.
