Seminal Los Angeles-based comedy label most active from the late 1960s until its bankruptcy in 1985. Laff Records was a West Coast-based recording label that featured many top comedians of the ’60s and ’70s. Specializing in so-called blue humor, bawdy comics like Redd Foxx, Richard Pryor, and LaWanda Page found a home for their style of comedy, which pushed them into prominence into the mainstream. The label was based in Los Angeles and was started by Louis Drozen. A well-known party record label, Dootoo Records, went under, which gave Drozen the proper opening for the Laff Records era. via Discogs →
