Here is an excerpt from it:

When looking for someone to play the Father and Son, there was no race preference. The act did not call for a black or white cast, the producers just wanted the content to be good. In hiring the cast, the producers had Cleavon Little, who was in the broadway musical “Purlie” in mind. When he declined, Redd Foxx a man, who was a rising star, creating things from X rated comedy albums and acts to performing in Vegas, was considered after appearing in his first movie in 1970
