A true Queen of comedy!! One of a kind. There will NEVER be another Jackie "Moms" Mabley. She had a gift that only comes once in a lifetime. I have laughed so much when I think about the jokes she told. As a child, I have seen her on TV. Rest in peace, Moms!

I remember my dad use to listen to her album w his friends, cracking up I'm 65

I remember when my parents would have guests over. When it came time for them to play Moms Mabley (and other comedians) records i was told to go/sent upstairs😂😂😂Of course I didn't go upstairs. Didn't understand what was so funny til later. Thanks for bringing back a memory😊 I know those albums are still somewhere in this house.

YES, this!! Parents played her records after sending us to bed, but we would sneak and listen!

I grew up in the sixties. I saw Moms Mabley on the Ed Sullivan Show. Every time she came on the Ed Sullivan Show On Sunday night as kids we would run home from the playground to see her. She was funny. Lol!!!

LOVED her COMEDY 😅. GREAT female COMEDIAN of all times 😅.

Moms befriended my father when he was a young medical intern. He never forgot her kindness to a young boy from the country far from home for the first time. May her memory be a blessing.

I remember Mom's Mably,, I loved her act, she was amazing

My mom loved her comedy, so i heard her on records and TV. Flip Wilson and Tyler Perry owe a lot to her androgynous performances. Thanks for the retrospective on this powerful, raunchy, hilarious Moms Mably.

I remember Mom's Mabley. She was so super funny. I was just a child and I appreciated her. 😊 Wow! What an amazing documentary. I'm so sad she endured tragedies. I'm so happy that she rose above them. She is an iconic inspiration to humanity. If she doesn't have one, she should receive a Star on the walk of Fame.

GOD REST HER SOUL 😊🎉❤😊

One of the Greatest female Comedian. I got to see at Steve Wonder's sixteen show in Raleigh, NC Funny with character! I was young and got to see two of my favorite entertainers.

I remember her from when I was a little girl. I never laughed so hard in my life. The one that stuck with me all these years is the one about “The ole dog”, the Greyhound bus. It was so funny. Great comedian 🤣🤣🤣♥️♥️♥️

I loved watching her on Ed Sullivan's show on Sundays, where she was a frequent guest.❤

I'm 68yrs.I remember her, My Daddy watched her every Sunday night ☺ 3:38

I remember seeing her and Red Foxx at the Regal theater in Chicago. My dad loved her records. One joke was so funny to me, she asked why were people always tellin' the kids to watch the light before crossing the street, she wanted to know why, because a light ain't never hit nobody, you better be watching them cars. Many many Black Boombers have definitely heard of Jackie "Moms" Mably.

I have an original comedy album that she made it used to be my mom’s still in good condition and everything

I remember Mom’s mainly album that we have and my favorite was the old wine, or when she would say the wine was walking down the street and he fell and he put his hand behind him and he had a bottle of red wine and when he put his hand behind him and brought it out, it was all red, and he turned around his bed. Oh, Lord, I hope this is blood. That was my favorite

I think she was incredible she was so smart and before her time she is missed i her about from my grandma

Pigment Marcum, Redd Foxx, LaWanda Page and a few others: it was called party records and local small city record shops would set them at the back out of display or wouldn't display them at all, you just requested them if they didn't have them they'd order them for you and tell you when they'd arrive so you could pick them up

@1:55 Mom looked really great back in the day

I came across this documentary and I felt impressed to share the fact, I know Loretta Mary Aiken granddaughter personally. I use to work for her. Her name is Ann and she lives in Greensboro, NC. She is 82 years old. I remember seeing pictures at Ann's home of her grandmother. She also is mentioned in the Jet magazine 1976 issue as a surviving family member. She also has a great granddaughter who lives in Texas, she's Ann' daughter.

Exactly, they both had very similar acts in their jokes and appearances and Phyllis was originally a housewife not a comedian until much later in life. The 1950’s -1960’s when moms was reaching her strides in mass popularity on tv, clubs and albums. I’m sure Phyllis would have heard and seen her act and no doubt was inspired by her act to create something similar for herself. It’s not like there were a lot of female popular comedians out there to be inspired by.

❤❤❤

Can anyone tell me the term being used to describe the comedy scene of that era? “Bobville?” “Ba-ville?” For some reason I can’t make out what is being said. It is used in the beginning. I’m 5MINUTES in… Thank you!
