Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: These days, Bill Cosby is such an established showbiz presence that it's easy to forget what a deeply influential figure he was in the '60s, when he released a wildly successful series of standup comedy LPs. At the time, an amiable, apolitical African-American comedian sharing warmheartedly-barbed observations on childhood, parenting, and other rites of passage was a gently revolutionary act. Cosby's effortless ability to address universal experiences transcended boundaries of race and economic class, uniting diverse audiences during one of the most divisive periods in American history. Wonderfulness, originally released in 1966, is Cosby at his best, with such memorable bits as "Tonsils," "The Playground," and the classic childhood reminiscence "Chicken Heart." --Scott Schinder

Customer Reviews
Been laughing to this for over 30 years...
I'm 39 now. My Mom used to listen to these albums when she was a teenager, and years later, she would to play them for me all the time when I was young. Instead of plopping me in front of the tv, we'd sit and listen and imagine Cosby on stage and we'd be laughing right along with the audience. I have been listening to them ever since. All these stories have held up wonderfully (no pun intended) after over 40 years. Bill Cosby is a master comedic story teller - and most of what he is telling is through real life experience.
I have several of Cosby's album's (I mean CD's!) on my iPod now, and it's hard to keep from chuckling in my work cubicle when a story like "The Chicken Heart" comes on...
Highly recommended to anyone who has never heard Cosby's old bits, and also to anyone that wants to enjoy them again.

Bill Cosby's Wonderfullness
I bought this CD because it features Bill's Chicken Heart comedy routine. The Chicken Heart has to be Bill Cosby's greatest comedy routine ever. I listened to the Chicken Heart over and over as a kid with my brother and cousins but I still laugh at it as an adult today. I play the Chicken Heart every year for my elementary library students. They love it as much as I do!
Two other hilarious routines that are included on this CD are Tonsils and Go Carts. This is Bill Cosby at his best.

Another classic Cosby hit
As some of my other reviews state. I love classic Cosby. This is one of if not the best album you could listen to. All of the skits are portrayed with a style the Bill alone has mastered. It makes me smile and laugh through the day as I remember his routines and the way he tells them.

Wonderfulness is one of Cosby's Best Collection of Stories
This was one of my favorite albums as a child. It is great that it is now available today on compact disc. I still love the Chicken Heart and Tonsils. Bill Cosby is one of the greatest story tellers.

Cosby is Wonderful in Wonderfulness
My very 1st Stand Up Comedy show I ever listened to. I got it on Cassette on clearence at a Gas Station by request of my grandmother. We popped it in the radio. From Tonsils to Go-Karts to Chicken Heart. Sadly my cassette died after so many uses. 3 of his best routines are on this CD. I now have every Bill Cosby CD,and some of his rare cassettes,and his Himself DVD and 49 VHS. But it all started RIGHT HERE. Buy it NOW!
