An early funk album by
Bill Cosby -- with backing by the
Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band. Bill was pals with
Charles Wright and crew in the hip LA of the late 60s, and he was also responsible for bringing the group to Warner Brothers - so the fit here is quite a natural one. The record was also produced by
Fred Smith who handled the Watts Band's albums, and it's got a very similar feel to their classics for Warner from the late 60s (but with Bill Cosby stepping out in front on vocals, in a similar style to Charles Wright). Cosby's singing is often a bit goofy, but works beautifully with the stoned to the bone feel of the group.via "Dusty Groove America":http://dustygroove.com
