As a kid I had this album when it came out. A couple hundred hours listening to this album. What a hoot! Still love this guy and his brand of humor. I don't know about his recent troubles. All I know is that people lie. People lie for money. People lie for pleasure. Crazy world. Love this guy and his brand of humor.
My mother has this and many other vinyl records of Bill Cosby. I listened to a few when I was a little kid until the player broke. Years later as an older teen my mom bought a new record player and me and my bro started listening to these records. I turned beet red I was laughing so hard.
First heard it on cassette in the 1980s. An acquaintance used the part about the mechanic looking at his "broken" car in a college radio ad. Didn't know it was a true story until a couple of years ago.
This is the first record I ever owned. I would play it to anyone who came to my house and I was so proud of it. No one was impressed but I didn’t care. BC is the greatest at storytelling humour. No profanity, just good wholesome comedy.
Thank you for great comments! This channel strickly for high praises of song and comedy artists contribute to world. Definitely not for the gossip or truth of their personal goodness or sins. This day, Mother's Day, is a righteous day for folk to research & reflect on how an artist's "power" can enrich or destroy part of a woman's life. But the comedy is still great! Thank you for watching and reading my comments. It's just one of those days for typing. 😊
This takes me back to 1975 when I was a 10 year old kid in Australia...half the gags went over my head, having never heard of Caroll Shelby or the Cobra. Now on the wrong side of 50, it's like listening to a whole new album.
G’day Lezzman, fellow Aussie here I and grew up listening to BC in the mid 70’s. I also never knew who Caroll Shelby or what a Cobra was, but it was still funny because it was a good story. My grandfather was great at telling stories and when my uncle played BC’s Fat Albert record, I was hooked. I had that instant connection with characters, situations and endings. We may not have known about the people but we accepted them as a character in the story and went with it. There was always some hook that grabbed us that we could relate to, listening to it again many years later, it becomes even funnier because we are older and more attuned to life.
REVENGE,which I believe precedes this album was also recorded in Lake Tahoe. Don Rickles,another Warner Bros. client at the time,also recorded in Lake Tahoe,but at the Sahara.
Thank you for the upload, It's nice to hear some of Bills other work. Most of the video, though, sounds like it's being played under the rated speed though and could benefit from a slight tune up.
Thank you for sharing this. Love Bill Cosby. In the future can you make the volume louder? I can't hear it on my speakers and I don't like being tethered to my headphones when I don't need to be.
Yeah I know, didn't realize it back then. But, different turntable now a days. Videos since those days a bit better. :) Thank you for feedback & listening on my channel. :)
