A true Queen of comedy!! One of a kind. There will NEVER be another Jackie "Moms" Mabley. She had a gift that only comes once in a lifetime. I have laughed so much when I think about the jokes she told. As a child, I have seen her on TV. Rest in peace, Moms!

@PhDrSeuss 5 месяцев назад

I remember when my parents would have guests over. When it came time for them to play Moms Mabley (and other comedians) records i was told to go/sent upstairs😂😂😂Of course I didn't go upstairs. Didn't understand what was so funny til later. Thanks for bringing back a memory😊 I know those albums are still somewhere in this house.

Ohh man, we lived parallel lives, we youngsters would hang out by the stairs while the half-drunk adults played Moms and Redd Foxx My crazy uncle would come upstairs to 'discipline' us and sneak a beer to us. Can't make this up.

I remember Mom's Mabley. She was so super funny. I was just a child and I appreciated her. 😊 Wow! What an amazing documentary. I'm so sad she endured tragedies. I'm so happy that she rose above them. She is an iconic inspiration to humanity. If she doesn't have one, she should receive a Star on the walk of Fame.

@ljsc1265 5 месяцев назад

I remember seeing her and Red Foxx at the Regal theater in Chicago. My dad loved her records. One joke was so funny to me, she asked why were people always tellin' the kids to watch the light before crossing the street, she wanted to know why, because a light ain't never hit nobody, you better be watching them cars. Many many Black Boombers have definitely heard of Jackie "Moms" Mably.

Oh, Lord, I hope this is blood. That was my favorite

I came across this documentary and I felt impressed to share the fact, I know Loretta Mary Aiken granddaughter personally. I use to work for her. Her name is Ann and she lives in Greensboro, NC. She is 82 years old. I remember seeing pictures at Ann's home of her grandmother. She also is mentioned in the Jet magazine 1976 issue as a surviving family member. She also has a great granddaughter who lives in Texas, she's Ann' daughter.

Pigment Marcum, Redd Foxx, LaWanda Page and a few others: it was called party records and local small city record shops would set them at the back out of display or wouldn't display them at all, you just requested them if they didn't have them they'd order them for you and tell you when they'd arrive so you could pick them up

@Doll676 5 месяцев назад

I don’t think she hatin on white folks is just Phillis got more credit because she white back in those days Moms Maybley really didn’t get the credit she deserved

@suzannes5244 5 месяцев назад

Exactly, they both had very similar acts in their jokes and appearances and Phyllis was originally a housewife not a comedian until much later in life. The 1950’s -1960’s when moms was reaching her strides in mass popularity on tv, clubs and albums. I’m sure Phyllis would have heard and seen her act and no doubt was inspired by her act to create something similar for herself. It’s not like there were a lot of female popular comedians out there to be inspired by.
