I still remember the movie "Lady Sings The Blues" with Diana Ross playing Billie.

Two scenes I'll probably never forget is her cussing out the KKK.
Up until that time, for some reason I thought "mutha f*cka" was a word only men (and us boys) used....lol.

And the saddest scene had to be Richard Pryor getting beat up in the hotel room over drugs.
