Description:

Personnel: Bill Cosby (vocals).
A compilation of Bill Cosby`s Uni label albums from 1969-72, AT HIS BEST sheds new light on an under-appreciated period of Cosby`s career. Though less well-known than his classic `60s Warner Brothers albums, these records nonetheless had some magnificent moments, including the hilarious childhood tales "Fat Albert Got a Hernia," and "My Brother Russell."
Elsewhere, Cosby starts to explore the more grown-up material he would use to such great effect in the `80s, but pieces like "Be Good to Your Wives in Las Vegas" and "Why Beat Your Wife?" go a little further out than Cosby ever would in his sanitized TV show. It`s unfortunately difficult to listen to the fatherhood tale "Ennis` Toilet" these days without thinking of Ennis Cosby`s late-`90s murder, but the rest of AT HIS BEST is prime Cosby, complete with a rare music track, "Grover Henson Feels Forgotten."
