"Big Shirley", from the television show, What's Happening, requests that Richard Pryor has more groups on, Like "The PiPs". Pryor asks, if she means Gladys Knight and The PIPS.

Further Comments... | ||
It was nice to see this special again, it made me laugh and laugh. It shows another side of Pryor's humor, that is creative, and colorful, despite some of it's rawness. His version of a "preacher/hustler", was almost too much to take. | ||
