Richard & Willie was devised by Richard Sanfield in 1967 when he saw a ventriloquist act perform at a nightclub. He went on to do shows at a number of venues including the Apollo Theatre in New York and even cut a record with Richard Pryor. This is a live album which was recorded in 1975. It's a bit hard to describe - sit down comedy maybe? Obviously it is considered to be one of the most bizarre pieces of cover art in the history of recorded music and has meant Richard & Willie's legacy will not be forgotten any time soon. There is no track list for this one, it's presented as a single set.
