Bill Cosby has given us so much: Fat Albert, Jell-O, and the greatest 80s sitcom ever. He also taught us the importance of a-bippin' and a-boppin'. I submit — and I do so with all my mortal authority — that the greatest gift Cos bestowed upon this planet is Hooray for the Salvation Army Band!
Here Mr. Cosby "sings" with all his might through 12 fantastic melodies of memorable 60s Rock and Roll. I don't know if he was serious. I don't care. With Cosby's deliverance, there's nothing quite like it. This is pure 100% vintage Cosby.
And I have you here two samples from this glorious album: Satisfaction and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. And while Satisfaction has the charm of being nowhere near the original song, my favourite is the latter. He's not quite singing here, but his voice goes well with trumpet flourish. I'm hooked.
Plus, how can you resist the album cover? It's got Cosby with a cigar, parted hair, and a tie with no shirt on. This is epic.
