"Colpix recorded my set there and it became my next album, Live at Village Gate. Opening the show was a young comedian, Richard Pryor, and on the first night of my booking I stood in the wings with him as he waited to go on. He shook like he had malaria, he was so nervous. I couldn't break to watch him shiver, so I put my arms around him there in the dark and rocked him like a baby until he calmed down."
