Culled from two shows at the Gate, Flip's humor is more reefer-oriented then it later became when network success came a-calling. But the hip humor is also tempered by the first appearance of what would later coalesce into his most famous character, Geraldine. A superstar in the making.
Funny And Live At The Village Gate. My Mother had this album when I was a kid. It is great to have it on CD. It is funny on how clearly I remember this album. I can almost recall it word for word. Great CD. Flip Wilson was a tremendous talent.
