Release Notes: ░█≥
█±
Those of you familiar with Bill Cosby, be-sweatered leader █≡
of TVs Huxtable clan, and pudding huxster extraordinaire, ██
may be surprised to discover that in the heady days of the ██
late 60's and early 70's, Dr. Cosby was responsible for some ██
funk 45's. 'Funk 45's!?!?' you say, eyes rolling wildly. Yes ██
my friends, it's true. Funk 45's. ██
██
By the mid-60's, Philadelphia's favorite son was one of ██
America's most popular stand-up comics, and was experiencing ██
his first taste of TV stardom on "I Spy". His albums, filled ██
with hilarious stories of his childhood were big sellers. ██
However, despite his success, Bill Cosby harbored a dark ██
secret. He fancied himself as a singer. ██
██
The fact of the matter is, that Cosby was a major jazz fan ██
(no doubt having shared the stage with countless jazz ██
musicians in the early 60's night club scene) and an amateur ██
musician. ██
██
Cosby took his love of music one step further, and entered ██
the studio in 1967 to record the LP 'Bill Cosby Sings - ██
Silver Throat' for Warner Brothers. The LP is far from jazz, ██
composed mostly of soul/r&B/blue tunes (some slightly tongue ██
in cheek as might be expected). The most surprising thing of ██
all is that Cos' had a hit his first time out of the gate. ██
He took Stevie Wonder's "Uptight" reconfigured it with a new ██
(funny) lyric and got himself a top 40 hit in September of ██
1967. The rest of the LP, while no work of genius, is ██
actually pretty good. ██
██
Emboldened by his chart success, Cos' found his way back ██
into the studio for the much cooler/funkier "Bill Cosby ██
Sings Hooray For The Salvation Army Band" (Warner Brothers ██
1968). The coolness factor of the LP is largely due to the ██
fact that the disc was produced by Fred Smith and the ██
instrumental backing on the album is by none other than the ██
Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. The feel is a lot more ██
cohesive, the music cooler and substantially funkier with ██
the sound of the Watts band coming through loud and clear. ██
██
The two 45's from the LP were both excellent. "Funky North ██
Philly" is a reworking of "Funky Broadway" (with no writing ██
credit to Dyke & The Blazers, a pattern that would continue) ██
with Cos' singing about the 'funky' flat, in the 'funky' ██
apartment building on 'funky' Diamond Street where he grew ██
up. There are great female backing vocals and a blaring horn ██
section. The b-side "Stop, Look & Listen" sees Cos' in a ██
soulful, slightly mellower mood. The title track of the LP, ██
"Hooray for the Salvation Army Band" is a hilarious (very) ██
thinly disguised cover of Purple Haze (once again, no ██
indication that someone else may have written the song). The ██
lyrics tell the tale of a cat who is saved from perdition ██
time and time again by the timely arrival of the Salvation ██
Army Band. The b-side of that 45 is the groovy "Ursalena" ██
(later sampled by UMC's). ██
██
The rest of the album is composed almost entirely of covers, ██
including a trippy version of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts ██
Club Band", the almost compulsory (for the time) cover of ██
"Get Out Of My Life Woman" (later sampled by Cypress Hill ██
among others), a fairly straight reading of "Satisfaction" ██
and "Road Runner". ██
██
Props to JCE for their vinyl rip way back and thx to ██
Collectables for reissuing this for the first time on cd. ██
Enjoy ██
