With "Black & White" by Rain Pryor, David Drozen brings the Pryor legacy full circle. In 1970 Drozen produced the first of 12 Richard Pryor albums for LAFF Records, and now he has produced the first Rain Pryor album for his company Uproar. Rain is truly a comedic talent in her own right. Like her father, her material comes from her life. Her life as a black, Jewish woman raised in Beverly Hills. She tells stories, does characters, talks about sex, dating, kids, racism, jobs, and of course, about her father. In her own words, "Maybe I am a new generation of Richard Pryor and part of his style, but I'm female - minus the penis!" Rain is a multi-talented woman. In addition to being a stand-up comedian headlining across the country, she is a director, producer, writer, actor, activist, dynamic speaker and mother. Her TV debut was in a recurring role on the ABC hit series "Head of The Class". She starred on the Showtime series "Rude Awakening" and has appeared many times on Johnny Carson, Jay Leno and Craig Ferguson. As well as stage credits for playing the roles of Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, she has performed her award winning solo show "Fried Chicken and Latkes", which she created and wrote including original music and lyrics, across the country to critical acclaim. Rain Pryor inherited her father's comedic genius and is making it her own. The Pryor legend continues...
