RIP Rudy Ray Moore
Comedian and Actor, star of Dolemite and the Petey Wheatstraw films passed away October 19, 2008. He will be missed by many, although sadly not as many who should know him. Unlike Red Foxx and Richard Prior, Moore never made the crossover to a white mainstream audience. Many today have been influenced by his storytelling style although they don't even know it- I am talking about the Rap community. His legacy will live on. Now I am going to have to track down some Blaxploitation films to watch this weekend in his honor.
