This makes me sad…

The Wikipedia entry says…

Bill Cosby is a Very Funny Fellow…Right! is the debut album release by Bill Cosby. It was recorded live at the nightclub The Bitter End in New York City‘s Greenwich Village during early 1963. The album includes three sketches about Noah.[1]

Sean Carruthers of Allmusic rated the album four-and-a-half stars out of five, saying that “Those who only know Bill Cosby as an ’80s television star and product pitchman don’t know how truly funny and edgy he used to be when he first started out.”[1]

Vinyl copies of the album had all the words of the title on the front cover in reddish-pink. The compact disc changed the color to black. Additionally, the compact disc removed the words “Produced by Allan Sherman” which appeared underneath the title on the front cover of the vinyl album cover.

I remember listening to this album on the hi-fi with my dad. So much fun! I hate knowing the ‘truth’ about Cosby. Never confuse the artist with the art…

  1. It is very sad and disillusioning to see someone you always thought was great turn out to be human after all. Our failings are just as great just not as public. This ties in nicely to a previous post of yours about judgment!
