Hey, Hey, Hey.......2005-12-13

Fat Albert fans can rejoice that this is still in release. It has 7 good stories from Bill Cosby's on stage comedy, 3 of which are about Fat Albert and the gang. This album came out one year after the first episode of the ground breaking cartoons series that was the brain child of Bill Cosby.

Hey, hey, hey!.......2005-07-13

This is an album by Bill Cosby from 1973. Very funny stuff, but "Fat Albert Got a Hernia" is a recycled and edited track from his "When I Was a Kid" album that was originally called "My Hernia". Still, it's Bill Cosby, who is always funny.

sweet funny memories.......2005-05-09

I have had this LP since before I can remember (not sure how i eneded up with it) and it ALWAYS brought a smile to my face, and my parents.
Its good, clean HALERIOUS fun.....buy it;)

Some of the Routines that Made Cosby Great.......2005-04-22

This CD contains several of the Fat Albert routines that ilustrate the comic genius of Bill Cosby. They all revolve his youth in Philadelphia and the boys he grew up with. All men should have hilarious stories of their antics as youth to draw upon for hilarious memories. Cosby's genius is in his ability to make thos stories funny to others. He does a great job.

Bill Cosby is unusual in this day and age for his ability to generate tremendous laughs without resorting to profanity. He makes the extra effort to do so and still be funny. The effort pays off.

Get this recording but be prepared to laugh uproarisouly at the foibles of youth.

A Hodge-Podge of Comedy Genius........2005-03-17

This FAT ALBERT album was originally released after the success of Bill Cosby's animated series starring the titled gentle giant. Universal new they had a goldmine with Fat Albert and attempted to cash in on it as much as possible. However, Bill Cosby is Bill Cosby and always comes out on top. Instead of making an entire album of Fat Albert sketches, Cosby compiled one that included just 3 stories about Fat Albert and 4 others that were totally unrelated.

I think the funniest sketch on this album is track #1, "Fat Albert's Car." Cosby tells how everyone wanted to ride in Fat Albert's car because Albert had modified it to run on an airplane engine. The laughs continue as Cosby tells about how he used Fat Albert's car to take his driver's license test.

The sketch that I found almost as funny as "Fat Albert's Car" is track #5, "My Dad's Car". I don't know what it is with Cosby, but almost every car story I have ever heard him tell has been hilarious. In this story, Cosby relays the time his Dad yelled at him for not putting gas in the car.

FAT ALBERT might not be Cosby's funniest album, but it does offer a glimpse into his comical genius. My only complaint about the album is that with just 7 sketches, it's far too short. Of course one has to remember this was originally released on vinyl and vinyl albums hardly ever were as long as the cds we now have. A funny ablum from one of the true greats of modern comedy.

get movin' get groovin' .......2006-07-07

Hancock takes the cake with this just about unheard of CD. This is a killer collection of "feel good use the dashboard or kitchen table as a percussion instrument" instrumentals. I could write a thank you letter to Herbie for getting me through numerous late night shifts at work with this CD...but I will just say that this is an audible "great day". If you're having a bad morning, drop this CD in and you'll feel better by the time track one kicks in. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to all audiences. Herbie Hancock for president.

You're being taken.......2006-03-04

This is great music but you can get this album domestically as part of "Mwandishi: The Complete Warner Bros. Recordings" for literally pocket change more. It's worth it to check out the other two albums included in the set.

VERY,VERY FUNKY!!!!.......2004-10-19

Counting about 99.8 % of the music on this album 'Fat Albert Rotunda' is Herbie Hancock's first dive into the world
of funk-jazz,a just blooming genre in 1969 when this was recorded and a style he wouldn't return to for another five years or so.As for the jazz side of his personality only "Tell Me A Bedtime Story",with it's gentle theatrics,works in this
arena.Otherwise this album is pretty much instrumental funk,upbeat and well made but probably not quite as thrilling and
DEFINATELY not as innovative as later such efforts as 'Thrust',
"Man-Child','Secrets' and of course 'Headhunters'.But once fans of Herbie's funkier style have purchased those recordings (whitch
are essencial) this album is the next logical step to walk in.

Unbelievable jazz soul album.......2004-02-28

I love this album. It is funky and beautiful. Well arranged and expertly played. It may not be the purest jazz masterpiece, but it is perfect for what it is. It flows perfectly after Herbie's previous album, the Prisoner. I almost wish more people would try to rip this style off more often. When I first got the album I thought Fat Mama was the best song on it, but after listening, the driving but entirely laid back force of Tell Me A Bedtime Story is one of my favorite songs period. I wanted to buy a copy of this cd for everybody I knew for christmas but couldn't find a single copy in stores (aside from the complete Columbia recordings). Do yourself a favor and snatch it while you can. (Or just get the complete columbia recordings if you also like awesome space funk jazz)

raw funky jazzy.......2003-07-16

This album contains some of the most lighthearted and yet still street serious grooves I've ever heard. It's loose and by no means perfect, but still one of the greatest albums - almost for those attributes. As well as having awesome grooves like the opening track, fat mama, and the title track; it also contains a classic and very beautiful jazz composition by Herbie, Tell Me A Bedtime Story. This is a beautiful piece of jazz groove history and still great to listen to today. If you don't have it, buy it. It will do you no harm except to possibly make your feet move all by themselves and your mind to be soothed by the touch of a master.
