You know, Red Foxx came to despise the role of Fred Sanford, viewing it as just a modern minstrel show character. He never had a kind word to say about the part after it was over. But he sure did make me laugh and I thought he was one of the '70s funniest comedic actors.
Actually, it's one of the fine details that I think make this funny and a good spoof of the then less known field of "ethnomusicology" -- because such academic music programs and libraries usually have a division that they call "Jazz," into which they kind of arbitrarily throw all the different kinds of African-American music! :)
:-) I wonder which of the writers/producers had the idea. I mean, they could have made the sketch in a lot of different settings; someone must have recently visited a local "ethnomusic library"!

Lead belly was blues/country folk, not Jazz. Still Funny after all these years. Watts must be a bitch!

That is totally hilarious. And of course the ethnomusicological librarian is a white guy.
