1	Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow Right! (1963) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist 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. Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow is his first album, and it's as good a place to start as any, with the "Noah" trilogy included. A story about the free entertainment on New York subways, a ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $8.47!
2	I Started Out as a Child (1964) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist By sidestepping racial humor and the "sick" comedy of Lenny Bruce, Bill Cosby was able to reach a wide audience through keen and endearing portraits of his Philadelphia childhood. And even though he mostly bypassed civil rights issues in the '60s, Cosby, in many ways, was still able to de-stigmatize black culture by presenting his story without ... see all copies from $2.98!
3	The Best of Bill Cosby (1969) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist Anyone who has the first six Cosby standup records will have all of this material already covered, but The Best of Bill Cosby is nonetheless a pretty good introduction. The choice of material reinforces the fact that in the early days Cosby was inventive and wasn't content to roll around in the clichés of husband versus wife, instead telling ... see all copies from $3.50! new only from $9.89!
4	Bill Cosby "Himself" (1982) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist Bill Cosby "Himself," the soundtrack to the movie of the same name, features such classic Cosby routines as "The Dentist," "Natural Childbirth," and "Same Thing Happens Every Night." Without the visual distraction of Cosby's mugging -- which is either charming or clichéd, depending on your point of view -- his total mastery of his art comes into ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.81!
5	To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With (1968) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist After issuing the music-oriented efforts Silver Throat: Bill Cosby Sings and Bill Cosby Sings Hooray for the Salvation Army Band! in 1967, comedian Bill Cosby returned to standup on the following year's To Russell, My Brother, Whom I Slept With. Unlike his earlier comedy recordings -- which found Cosby in the comparatively intimate confines of a ... see all copies from $4.22!
6	200 M.P.H. (1968) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist Another set recorded at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe, 200 M.P.H. is a bit more disjointed than previous efforts, a little bit more "groovy," and a little bit less heartwarming. There are a few battle of the sexes-type bits, and a battle of the pets number. Side two is taken up by a discussion of the world's fastest sports cars and Cosby's quest for ... see all copies from $5.70! new only from $9.00!
7	Why Is There Air? (1965) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist As the comedian's star continued to ascend, Bill Cosby's third long-player, 1965's Why Is There Air?, became his first to crack the Top 20. Family-friendly humor -- along with increased exposure on the mid-'60s TV talk and variety show circuit -- gave Cosby an edge that many of his contemporaries weren't privy to. Captured live at the Flamingo ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $4.63!
8	Wonderfulness (1966) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist Bill Cosby cracked the Top Ten album chart with 1966's Wonderfulness, his fourth long-player in less than two years. This was indeed a sizable feat for a comedian during the height of the mid-'60s British Invasion, but not surprising in the case of Cosby. His exposure on the talk and variety television circuit of the mid-'60s had increased thanks ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $4.63!
9	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Bill Cosby (2001) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist Since most of MCA's 20th Century Masters: Millennium Edition has been devoted to musicians, it's a little strange to see it applied to a comedian, yet the same principle works very well on Bill Cosby's collection. This covers his early-'70s records for MCA, a time when he was deep into Fat Albert -- who indeed appears here with "Fat Albert's Car." ... see all copies from $4.12! new only from $6.93!
10	Fat Albert (1973) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist The early '70s saw comedian Bill Cosby branch out into the educational aspects of television. In 1969, he first starred as an original cast member of the Children's Television Workshop PBS series Electric Company -- which also boasted the innumerable talents of Rita Moreno and Morgan Freeman. Then Cosby developed his own Fat Albert and the Cosby ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $7.48!
11	When I Was a Kid (1971) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist After signing with Uni Records in 1970 and issuing several albums' worth of material dealing in primarily adult themes, Bill Cosby triumphantly returns to weaving yarns about his youth and childhood acquaintances: Fat Albert, Dumb Donald, and of course, his brother Russell. This would also become the basis for his Fat Albert & the Cosby Kids ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $8.93!
12	Bill Cosby at His Best (1994) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist There are moments of brilliance scattered throughout the budget-priced Bill Cosby at His Best, but fans wishing to purchase routines like "My Brother, Russell," "Fat Albert Got a Hernia," and "Bill's Marriage" would be better off obtaining the original records. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.98! new only from $2.98!
13	Revenge (1967) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist With a hit TV show, numerous variety and talk show appearances, regular stints in some of the more upscale nightclubs around the country, and five long-players in under three years, there didn't seem to be such as thing as too much Bill Cosby in the mid-'60s. The material here returns Cosby to familiar territory, with the storyteller reminiscing ... see all copies from $7.77!
14	Original Jam Sessions 1969 (2004) more music like this by Quincy Jones/Bill Cosby add to wishlist The groove is loose and deep on these studio sessions recorded as backing music for the original Bill Cosby Show sitcom in 1969. Despite the title, Bill Cosby appears on only one track here, the vocal version of "Hikky-Burr," where he improvised his entire part. Quincy Jones directed these sessions with bassist Ray Brown acting as bandleader on ... see all copies from $10.44! new only from $10.44!
15	Hard to Find 45's on CD, Vol. 5: 60's Pop Classics (2000) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist You don't think of these 20 songs as being missing in action until you realize that most -- if not all of them -- just don't pop up on oldies anthologies very often. A wide-net approach like this that pairs "I Got You Babe" next to Bill Cosby's "Little Ole Man," with stops along the way to great one-offs from Joannie Sommers, Bob Luman, the ... see all copies from $16.24! new only from $16.24!
16	At His Best (2004) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist This is by no means an essential collection of Bill Cosby's finest moments, instead assembling selected Cosby standup routines from the '80s and '90s from various records originally released on Universal. The main problem with compiling extracts from multiple Cosby standup records lies in the fact that his delivery and sequencing of material are ... see all copies from $5.09! new only from $5.09!
17	Inside the Mind of Bill Cosby (1972) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist By the time 1972 rolled around, Bill Cosby was big news; with an ultra-popular standup career, a few TV shows under his belt, and a couple more on the go, it seemed he could go nowhere but up. This release features Cosby in front of yet another appreciative crowd doing short standup bits, but unlike the earlier and more inventive bits, this shows ... see all copies from $2.00!
18	Cosby and the Kids (1986) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist As far as Cosby compilations go, the thing Cosby and the Kids does very right is present the tracks unedited, important since the comedian's languid reflections on his childhood are best left untouched. Yep, this is Cosby talking about his childhood for an adult audience, not Cosby talking to children, as the crayon-scrawled cover might suggest. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.50!
19	It's True! It's True! (1969) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist Bill Cosby concluded his five-year (1964-1969) run with Warner Brothers -- which yielded no less than eight Top 40 spoken word comedy long-players -- with It's True! It's True! (1969). If the written copy on the rear LP jacket is to be taken at face value, the material on this roughly half-hour platter consists of spontaneous and extemporaneous ... see all copies from $3.74! new only from $4.65!
20	More of the Best of Bill Cosby (1970) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist It's a testament to the strength of Bill Cosby's early albums for Warner Bros. that one best-of album wasn't enough to cover all the high points -- thus, this second compilation. While it's true that the material here isn't quite as good as that on the first best-of, it's all still right near the top of the pile, from reminiscences about raising ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $18.75!
21	Bill Cosby Sings Hooray for the Salvation Army Band! (1968) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist This was Cosby's second vocal record and, while it isn't exactly a departure from his debut, Bill Cosby Sings/Silver Throat, it still has enough interesting moments to claim a unique charm all its own. For starters, he is joined this time by the Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band -- a point that should raise some eyebrows among funk- and beat-conscious ... see all copies from $3.64! new only from $3.64!
22	For Adults Only (1971) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist A Redd Foxx adult comedy album, sure, but Bill Cosby? That's right. For Adults Only isn't at all a record of foul-mouthed comedy, darn it! It is "for adults only" because it is about parenting, which the comedian believes is a job only done by, and only of interest to, adults. Isn't that so typically Bill Cosby? These live performances date from ... see all copies from $7.50!
23	My Appreciation (1991) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist Cosby's second jazz album with a group of top-notch handpicked musicians finds him fading into the background some, content only to contribute two "compositions" and devote the rest of the sessions to various soul, jazz and gospel tunes. Indeed, the comedian's only audible presence are the comically dissonant bursts of synths and percussion on his ... see all copies from $14.05!
24	Oh Baby (1991) more music like this by Bill Cosby add to wishlist see all copies from $5.50! new only from $37.71!
25	Classic Comedy [Universal] (1995) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist A surprisingly effective stand-up sampler, Classic Comedy isn't perfect (the bits from Jerry Clower and Foster Brooks go nowhere), but its highlights (particularly Albert Brooks' "Rewriting the National Anthem," Bill Cosby's "The Invention of Basketball" and Buddy Hackett's "Chinese Rock and Eggroll") remain timeless. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music ... see all copies from $1.99!
