...Is It Something I Said?

...Is It Something I Said? is the fourth official album release by Richard Pryor and the first he released on a new contract with Warner Bros. Records, a label he remained with for the rest of his recording career.

The album is notable for being the recorded debut of Pryor's character of "Mudbone", an ancient, apparently well endowed (given the infamous "...and it's deep too!" line in "Mudbone - Little Feets") and almost immortal Black senior citizen. (This line is not valid as the joke referring to 'and its deep too' is a story/lie told by Toodlums to Mudbone as was their normal practice and not a reference to Mudbone himself. Apparently some people cannot remember what was actually said, this is how history gets changed.)

In 1976, the album won the Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording.

The album was the first Richard Pryor title to be remastered and reissued on compact disc. The album appears as part of the ...And It's Deep Too! box set, with a bonus track, "Ali" (that first appeared on Richard Pryor's Greatest Hits) appended to the album.
