Rudy Ray Moore

Rudy Ray Moore (born March 17, 1937 in Fort Smith, Arkansas) is an African-American comedian, singer, film actor, and film producer. He is perhaps best known as Dolemite, the uniquely articulate pimp ( rappin & tappin is my game!) from the 1975 film Dolemite, and its sequel, The Human Tornado. The persona was developed during his earlier stand-up comedy records. Rudy Ray Moore is known as the king of the party records and released many comedy records throughout the 1960s and 1970s, developing a style even more rude and explicit than contemporaries like Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor. This kept him off of television and major films, but cultivated an enduring fan base. Moore began as a singer and continued singing through his comedy career. He developed an interest in comedy in the Army after expanding on a singing performance for other servicemen.
