Sanford and Son was an American remake of the sixties British sitcom Steptoe and Son. It had an instrumental theme song composed by musician and record producer Quincy Jones.
Redd Foxx, a former nightclub comedian made famous through his raunchy comedy records, starred. His supporting cast included a character who starred in a spinoff series of his own.
