It was nothing like eating a bowl of Cocoa Puffs while looking at Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids before you watched Soul Train, and going outside to play.
@@scrapiron I have the dvd set. I just happened to start back watching the show this past Saturday. I was thinking about a soundtrack and this popped up on my timeline yesterday.
@@scrapiron I actually bought them at a thrift store about a year and a half ago. This is the second time re watching them. It’s 6 DVD’s, 3 episodes each with bonus features. They are made by LIFE TIME. I have Bill Cosby comedy albums on vinyl, cd, and cassette, The Cosby show on DVD as well. Definitely check out thrift stores to come up.
@@scrapiron I was at a thrift store the morning and bought a Bill Cosby comedy cassette tape “At His Best”. So keep checking places like thrift stores and maybe you’ll come up on a Fat Albert dvd set.
Couldn't wait until Saturday morning and during the week when I got in from school to watch Fat Albert and the Cosby kids. I learned a lot and with the music of that time was just another acception to the rule of how black kids could be educated watching a cartoon with great theme music 🎵🎶🎶 to bob ya head too 4ReAL!
@@ElleBrOw Yeah that's true also but Fat Albert was shown during the weekdays also. From September 9th 1972 till August 10th 1985 on CBS. The cartoon only went to Saturday mornings when the reruns started in 89' on the USA network. You could see the cartoon from 72 to 85 during the week though.
@@ElleBrOw who's arguing in fact I agreed with you followed up with facts that are found not only on Google but on CBS'S history of African American cartoons why censored.
@@sugadeeification I agreed too. Just reading the actual fact you listed I know it came from somewhere. I know I don’t recall the exact day the cartoon made it’s debut 🤣
That's really cool that they have a soundtrack for the original Fat Albert show. The guy who sang the songs from the show and who's pictured on the back of the album cover is Mike Gray. He was a Broadway actor who sang gospel music and other stuff, and he did a great job of singing the songs from the show. Sadly, he passed away from a heart attack in 1988. Considering how great his singing was was, he should have done a whole lot more. RIP Mike Gray...
This where I came to stay I don't hear about farty b or no Nicki whoraj or nothing stupid. This is where I put myself into this place. Thank you Philly's zone reel black and fat Albert.
If you gave this a thumbs down, you didn't learn a thing or two from Bill while not having any fun with Albert and the gang!!!!! Saturday mornings in the 70s/80s was awesome!
Wow I have to work this Saturday, and found this here. I couldn't imagine as a kid that I would be listening to this 55 years later at work. Such memories of Saturday mornings. Yes, eating a bowl of cereal and then going out in the sun to play all day.
LOL! Shhhiiid. Don't feel sorry for us. We actually had a REAL child's life! You couldn't pay us to be in the house watching TV after cartoons and Soul Train went off. We were too busy spending actual time doing things like playing sports, building , creating things and playing with our friends face to face.
6:05 This reminds me back when I was a kid when I and my family and had to move I cried a lot because I would miss my school friends I wasn't much of a talker when I and my siblings played outside with their friends I wasn't good at communicating with them because of my autism disability and I couldn't express my words to anyone except my family and my teachers. Gosh, I miss those days 😢
Their other Episode Songs like "Whole lot of Fish in the Sea", "Listen", "Suede Simpson", and "Dope is for Dopes" should've been in this Album... Why didn't they make a Vol.2, and included the rest of the Songs that wasn't in this one😭🤦♂️But Underrated Album tho❤
I wish there were clips of the background music that was played during the dialogue of the show. There was this one tune with an organ lead that I liked in particular.
Whoa this is definitely a rare find. I always wanted to know who was the lead singer. Looking at the back of the album. He could've played the role of FAT ALBERT
Watching this with my family.🤗 While us kids ate "Corn Flakes," 👎🏾 "Post Toasties," 👎🏾or "Quisp" & or "Captain Crunch", 😋 when we could afford it. 🤗🤗🤗 Good times

What a coincidence I just happen to start back watching Fat Albert cartoon this past Saturday and you post the soundtrack the next day. I have the DVD set.
I MISS Saturday cartoons. If there's two things that's changed the culture of the youngest generations for the worst it's kids on cell phones and the absence of Saturday cartoons.
🗣🎤 Sitting in jammies, watching cartoons on Saturday morn, eating cereal 😋 It’s the ONLY day we awoke on our own.
Good times and memories.

LOLOLOLOL
😂😂
I have to admit, Bill Cosby is/was a genius for creating this cartoon, I appreciate it/that much more as an adult...
Had no clue that they actually made an album for the cartoon! Thanks for sharing.
If I remember correctly, these songs were taken from various episodes.

Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids were even big down here in Australia!! And they played them on

I love this cartoon and all those funky songs!
Fun blast from the past!
I’m 17 and know the theme song word for word. I used to watch fat albert all the time. Who remembers the Christmas episode lol?
i never seen the Christmas episode if I had the whole series
This is beautiful it really bring back some good memories .
Bill was always for the kids, I got the whole collection In my S550 Benz that I watch. I was born in 71 so this is my era 💯

Ya feel me?! We was LIVING! LOL!

Such memories of Saturday mornings. Yes, eating a bowl of cereal and then going out in the sun to play all day.
The bass lines on this soundtrack are fantastic.
No fool like a fool playing hookie 😂 this is so cheesy and dope at the same time
When Truant officers came to your house.😏
And REAL too.
"Friends" is my favorite
Real Talk. Thats the jam tho.
Amazingly I remember some of these songs!👏🏾🎶🎵💖
Much Gratitude

I agree !!!!!!
I always felt Bill Cosby was wrongly accused !!
@@eileenbachemin1617 You KNOW he was.
He didn't do it... darn... how ugly they are.
I miss the old time
I love the “ School Day” transition music, “Du Du Du-du Du-du Du!”
Nobody loves a bully. I love that song!!!
Me too! It's a groove!
Greatest PHD project ever.
I'm so sorry for the folks who had to wait until Saturday to watch their favorite cartoon. Different from having channels with varieties nowadays

One day a few of us neighborhood kids got the idea to have a junkyard Olympics, inspired by the Fat Albert show. Brings back good memories.
Get the pipes and start playing!!!!!
Great instrument playing, good guitar playing.
Hey, hey, hey, it's at Albert! Loved that show as a kid.
Their other Episode Songs like "Whole lot of Fish in the Sea", "Listen", "Suede Simpson", and "Dope is for Dopes" should've been in this Album... Why didn't they make a Vol.2, and included the rest of the Songs that wasn't in this one😭🤦♂️But Underrated Album tho❤
Thank you for sharing. I didn't know they had an album.The songs ( Albert, and Russell) were my favorite parts of the show.
1973 O my what a "Good Time"
I wish there were clips of the background music that was played during the dialogue of the show. There was this one tune with an organ lead that I liked in particular.
Y’all member dat Begging Benny he’ll borrow anything u got, a shoe a lamp s 3 cent stamp or coffee pot he don’t care what... yoooooo !!! 😆✊🏽

What a coincidence I just happen to start back watching Fat Albert cartoon this past Saturday and you post the soundtrack the next day. I have the DVD set.
Nostalgia.
When cartoons were good on a Saturday morning. #facts
I MISS Saturday cartoons. If there's two things that's changed the culture of the youngest generations for the worst it's kids on cell phones and the absence of Saturday cartoons.
Cartoons are 24/7 now with so many channels, streaming and things like that.
Damn this black as hell. 🙌🏿
I'm almost convinced the backing band on these tracks are The Crusaders.
I'd love to know if there are any clear version of the incidental music used on the show as well.
Yes so true. N. Y.
Who was this band? They really jammed...i wished the old "soap & water" was on here
That's from the Suede Simpson episode. This soundtrack came out way before that episode aired.
Song were sung by Michael Gray.
hey hey hey ....
…Stay out of my shed!
Nah they was jammin in the junkyard
omg
No "Suede Simpson"?
Breakbeat at 5:13
The "We're All Together" song sounded better on the show
What's not to like?
Who's the artist singing tho?
Michael Gray.
9:03
7:57
No-body, but NO- BODY likes a bul- lay! I liked the toon until they stopped the songs.
They added the brown hornet
The good years of 'clean fun' and no worries of our children being murdered aka killed aka gunned down
I wonder if their is any date rape drugs in fat alberts burger?🤔
I'm buggin! I need to know who the musicians were. It's one of my biggest mysteries.
I was lucky to find this LP sealed at a very decent price. I didn’t even know it existed when I found it. Thanks for putting this up.
Sealed??? Yeah you were👍
