The one aspect of Redd Foxx's act that was criminally underrated was the fact that he could actually sing.
In season 5 of Sanford & Son, Fred teams with Smiley Rogers (Timmie Rogers, who famously did an Alka-Seltzer ad with Sammy Davis, Jr. around the same time) for a cover of "Lulu's Back in Town". Allan Drake is Rodney, the MC, who is also Fred's brother-in-law (don't ask).
We'll find some more musical spots down the line.
