Bill Cosby - Wonderfulness

Review by Nick Taussig

Wonderfulness, the 1966 album by Bill Cosby, is a delightful collection of comedy sketches that showcase the comedian's wit, charm, and storytelling ability. From his observations on everyday life to his hilarious musings on childhood, Cosby's humor is both relatable and timeless.

The album's opening track, "The Lone Ranger," is a classic bit that has become synonymous with Cosby's comedy. The sketch follows the adventures of the famed masked hero and his trusty sidekick Tonto, as they try to save the day in their own inimitable way.

Other standout tracks on the album include "Dogs," in which Cosby ponders the peculiarities of man's best friend, and "Snakes and Alligators," a humorous take on the dangers of exploring the great outdoors.
