Neon signs are shining through the tired trees
Lovers walking to and fro
Everyone has someone and a place to goâ

This week in August 1966, Bobby Darin threw one of Hollywoodâs most unforgettable parties â a stylish welcome for a rising comic named Richard Pryor. The theme? Slax & Jax
The guest list was pure star power: Groucho Marx, Diana Ross & The Supremes, Andy Williams, Milton Berle, Johnny Mercer, Barbara Parkins and more.
That night wasnât just about music and laughter â itâs also where Groucho Marx gave Richard Pryor advice that would help shape his career.Â
Pryor found himself across from Marx â whoâd seen him on The Merv Griffin Show with Jerry Lewis. Marx didnât hold back, telling Pryor to ditch the cheap laughs and build a career he could be proud of. The blunt advice hit hard⌠and changed the way Pryor approached comedy.
