Bill Cosby Is a Very Funny Fellow Right! (CD)

From the 1960s into the 21st century, Bill Cosby's family-friendly comic routines and accessible "everyman" persona have made him one of the most recognized and admired performers in the United States (and perhaps the biggest television star of the 1980s). His comic themes are universal, ordinary experiences delivered in Cosby's trademark rhythmic, relaxed style, with a healthy dose of self-mockery. Cosby scored an unlikely top 10 hit with a parody of Stevie Wonder's "Uptight."

All material written by Bill Cosby.

Bill Cosby's 1963 debut, on Warner Brothers, was a hit, but in retrospect his best material was yet to come, on subsequent recordings for the same label. He hadn't yet developed his cast of characters, his storytelling style or his capacity for stretching out like the jazzmen he admired and really letting a piece develop. Nevertheless, what people responded to was his good-natured conversational approach and goofy, surreal way of looking at his fellow humans--and there's plenty of that here.

The centerpiece of this set is the "Noah" trilogy, three short conversations between Noah and "The Lord" (or, in the middle piece, a neighbor who can't get his car out of the driveway because Noah's under-construction ark is in the way). Cosby has already known how to make you forget you're hearing just one guy with a mike, as he brings out Noah's rising sarcasm over God's instructions ("Right...What's an ark?"). Cosby's revisionist imagination charms--in another piece ("The Coin Toss") he envisions a pair of great military conflicts in history as sporting events. RIGHT is a chance to hear Cosby at work just a few years before making records like WONDERFULNESS and TO RUSSELL, MY BROTHER.
