rockpile Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Along with Bills Cosby and Flip Wilson, he did a lot to break the "color" barrier in the sixties just by being himself. I would add Redd Fox to that list but in the 60's he was best known for his bawdy routines that did not make the main stream.
