Wonderfulness

by: Bill Cosby

Release Date April 28, 1998
I'm 39 now. My Mom used to listen to these albums when she was a teenager, and years later, she would to play them for me all the time when I was young. Instead of plopping me in front of the tv, we'd sit and listen and imagine Cosby on stage and we'd be laughing right along with the audience. I have been listening to them ever since. All these stories have held up wonderfully (no pun intended) after over 40 years. Bill Cosby is a master comedic story teller - and most of what he is telling is through real life experience.

I have several of Cosby's album's (I mean CD's!) on my iPod now, and it's hard to keep from chuckling in my work cubicle when a story like "The Chicken Heart" comes on...

Highly recommended to anyone ... Read More:

Why Is There Air?

"Why is there Air" is pretty funny stuff, but not as good as Wonderfulness or Revenge. If you are new to this old stuff, I'd recommend one of those two as a first purchase.

Highly recommended to anyone ... Read More:

The Best of Bill Cosby

by: Bill Cosby

Release Date March 01, 2005
This is a must have for anyone that loves comedy and especially Bill Cosby. The classic "Noah" skit is one of his all time best routines.

Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow Right!

by: Bill Cosby

Release Date January 24, 1995
Enjoyed the content but a bit disappointed. The original was a 33 1/3 RPM Recording that had a lot more content. I judge this CD to only contain about one-half of what was on the recording.

To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With

by: Bill Cosby

Release Date April 28, 1998
This was one of the hilarious routines that we loved long ago in LP record format. It is a classic and worth being heard by a new generation. Very much enjoyed.

I Started Out as a Child

by: Bill Cosby

Release Date April 28, 1998
I own several of Bill Cosby's cd's and this one is also a gem! It brings you right back to childhood. If you want to laugh; buy I Started Out as a Child! It is perfect for adults and children of all ages. Both my fiance and I grew up on Cosby's records and can recite his stories. We are now sharing them with our girls :)

"Revenge" and Wonderfulness are Bill Cosby's funniest albums. Highly recommended to anyone who has never heard Cosby's old bits, and also to anyone that wants to enjoy them again.

The bits on "Revenge" are some of the funniest I've ever heard ... Read More:

200 M.P.H.

Release Date March 01, 2005
I have had the vinyl version of this for over 28 years, and found it warped badly after a move. Saw it on Amazon and bought it right then. Good price and a really great album.

Bill Cosby: Himself

by: Bill Cosby

Release Date October 25, 1990
BILL COSBY: HIMSELF is easily one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Even after having heard it (and seen it) so many times as to have various excerpts memorized, it's still hilarious! As far as Bill Cosby comedy is concerned, the only thing funnier than this CD is watching the DVD.

Unfortunately, this CD has been heavily edited. Less than half of the performance is here. Missing on the CD are the monologues about getting drunk, the bratty four-year-old Jeffrey on the airplane (one of my personal favorites), and passing the newborn's poopy diaper around (before "God put odor in the poo-poo").

I understand this performance was transferred to CD at a time when CDs were a relatively new technology and you just couldn't fit an exorbitant amount ... Read More:

It's True! It's True!

by: Bill Cosby

Release Date July 15, 2008
This is Bill Cosby at his creative best; brilliant insight into the human condition, with enough humorous sympathy to get a smille and a laugh out of anyone. This is a must for anyone who likes humor without being subjected to the risque.
