As mentioned yesterday, Bill Cosby's second album Hooray for the Salvation Army Band! is an amusing collection of 60s pop music. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any MP3s. Today, I hope to rectify that situation. Here, for your listening pleasure, I have four songs from that particular album.
I also have all the songs together in one .RAR file.
My honest opinion is that Cos definitely has an ear for funk. Also, one can detect a definite jazz influence in the horn sections. While Sgt. Pepper and Reach Out are tongue-in-cheek, Funk North Philadelphia and Ursalena are very earnest articles. Truthfully, I think this was more a labour of love than an attempt to make it big in the music industry. Bill Cosby must have known he would have never been taken seriously so he simply decided to do whatever he wanted.
It's stuff like this that makes one realize why one likes Cosby in the first place.
