A great, great comedian - one of the funniest, one of the most intelligent, one of the best. A sad loss.

Funny, funny man, and a life story that was bizarre by anyone's standards.

A genuine trail blazer - a very sad loss

He was multi talented but I liked him best in Superman funny enough.

Thought he was superb in that. Would have been interesting to see him in Blazing Saddles, if only the industry had had the balls to cast him

One of the first and best Black comedians,he paved the way for so many american black comedians at a time when in america there was still a lot of bad of bad feeling about racism in the 50's 60's and even early 70's.A true genius and a legend of a man despite all his problems.

 

RIP richard.

If only for helping to spawn Eddie Murphy 'Raw'.

 

I wonder if Eddie did tell Bill Cosby to suck Richard's dick...
