Open the Door, Richard

"Open the Door, Richard" is a song first recorded on the Black & White Records label by saxophonistist Jack McVea at the suggestion of A&R man Ralph Bass. In 1947, it was the number-one song on ''Billboard'''s "Honor Roll of Hits" and became a runaway pop sensation.
==Origin==
"Open the Door, Richard" started out as a black vaudeville routine. Pigmeat Markham, one of several who performed the routine, attributed it to his mentor Bob Russell.〔Smith 2004, p. 78, 341n. According to Markham, Russell wrote the piece for a show called ''Mr. Rareback'', in which John Mason performed it (and presumably expanded it in improvisation). Mason, Russell, and Markham were all African American comedians; all performed in blackface.〕 The routine was made famous by Dusty Fletcher on stages like the Apollo Theater in New York and in a short film [https://archive.org/details/open_the_door_richard [Archive.org]]. Dressed in rags, drunk, and with a ladder as his only prop, Fletcher would repeatedly plunk the ladder down stage center, try to climb it to knock on an imaginary door, then crash sprawling on the floor after a few steps while shouting, half-singing "Open the Door, Richard". After this he would mutter a comic monologue, then try the ladder again and repeat the process, while the audience was imagining what Richard was so occupied doing.
Jack McVea was responsible for the musical riff which became associated with the words "Open the Door, Richard"〔Smith 2004, p. 76.〕 that became familiar to radio listeners; as many as 14 different recordings were made.
