Bill Cosby Is Not Himself These Days

[1] He parodies various rhythm and blues artists including James Brown and Barry White.

This is also his first album on Capitol Records, his fourth musical album release overall (not counting the 1971 band project Badfoot Brown & the Bunions Bradford Funeral & Marching Band and its 1972 sequel).

After a three-year hiatus, this was his first comedy album since 1973's Fat Albert, albeit in musical form, and he wouldn't return to a full-fledged stand-up album again until 1977's My Father Confused Me... What Must I Do?

The first single, "Yes, Yes, Yes", became one of Cosby's biggest charted hits after "Little Ole Man (Uptight, Everything's Alright)", reaching number 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 11 on the Billboard rhythm and blues singles chart.

[2] The song spoofed Barry White's deep-voiced spoken word monologues.
