Bill Cosby:

Hooray For The Salvation Army Band!:(1968)

No, it's not an album featuring the spoken word comedy stylings of Bill Cosby. Although, there is humor in some of these tracks. No, this album features Bill Cosby singing/speaking some hits of the time, as well as some rewritten send offs of some hits. Hooray For The Salvation Army Band is a parody of Purple Haze. All the while Bill is being backed up by the incredible Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Not gonna lie, this is a weird album. I mean, at one point he turns the song Reach Out (I'll Be There) into a song about a girl in the jungle getting chased by a snake in a tree, and all the excuses as to why he can't come help her. I really think the album cover says it all.
