Bill Cosby called his brother a big gunky on his album "Why is there air"?

Why Is There Air? (1965) is the third album by Bill Cosby. It was recorded at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. It won the Grammy Award in 1965 for Best Comedy Album. Jerry Seinfeld states in the inner sleeve of his album I'm Telling You for the Last Time that this was the first comedy album he ever listened to and subsequently helped inspire him to become a stand-up comedian. Seinfeld was finally able to meet Cosby in person in 2002. The track "Hofstra" is actually an expanded re-telling of the track released on I Started Out as a Child as "T.V. Football", showcasing Cosby's growing ability to tell a story.

That was a great album!

A couple years ago I dug the spinner out of the depths of storage, hooked it up and listened to several of the Coz's records.

My kids could not get over the fact that this was, indeed, the very same Bill Cosby.

The boy really liked the, "Great Coin Tosses in History"....

"Sorry Cus, you lose....."

lol

Actually it was a neighbor, "Junior Barnes." "Why do you want to hit me in the face with a slushball?!?!"
