Redd Foxx might be best known for his 1970’s TV series, “Sanford and Son,” but he began his career in the 1940’s. As a result of his blue humor he found it difficult to get his records accepted by brand name record stores. Most of his records are comedy, which fall into a spoken word category. Spoken word records are generally not highly prized by record collectors. However, in 1957 Foxx recorded a Rhythm & Blues song called “Real Pretty Mama.” Released on Dooto Records, the single is worth up to $250.00 today.
