Like Woody Allen and a number of other comedians who first came to prominence in the late `50s and early `60s, Bill Cosby was a new and different type of comic for the time. Rather than deliver jokes, Cosby spun stories that meandered along for a while, slowly building into hilarious, absurd word pictures that were as funny as anything any traditional standup comic was doing at the time.
Cosby`s fifth album, 1967`s REVENGE, is important primarily because it introduces one of his longest-lasting and most beloved characters. "Buck Buck" hilariously details the wildly complicated rules of street games in the Philadelphia of Cosby`s childhood, but when Fat Albert is introduced, over halfway into the lengthy piece, things really take off.
