This was Redd Foxx's post Sanford and Son, pre Royal Family sitcom. He adopted a teenage girl named Toni. She was a tomboy. But one episode, she wore a red dress. And the guys sung "Put on your red dress..." He owned a business in the ghetto. His jokes were not as half as funny as Sanford and Son. I remember watching almost every episode of this show in the 6th grade. Kool and the Gang sung the theme song to this show. Redd Foxx did a good job mimicking James Brown during one episode of this show. One episode had Lawrence Hilton Jacobs as a banker who tried unsucessfully to sue him after choking at his restaurant. And another episode, Redd Foxx tried to sing.
