Silver Throat: Bill Cosby Sings

READ MORE: COSBY, Music

This is fairly lesser known and completely bitchin’ music album from `67 available for download. Dartman’s World Of Wonder the site bringing the magic, explains: “A lot of people have heard Bill Cosby’s album entitled ‘Hooray For The Salvation Army Band’ but not too many people know about his first album. ‘Silver Throat: Bill Cosby Sings’ came out in 1967 at the height of Cosby’s “I-SPY” fame! The back cover proclaims that it is a “rocking soul album” but the first side features a more country flavor with covers of three Jimmy Reed songs. The most surprising thing of all is that Cosby had a hit his first time out of the gate. He took Stevie Wonder’s ‘Uptight’ and reconfigured it with a new (funny) lyric and got himself a top 40 hit in September of 1967. I present it for you now in it’s original pristine stereo sound!”

Yes. Think Camille asked Bill to wear the mustache now and again?
