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.

Much Appreciation Such an encouraging program

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...

Gosh, I miss those days 😢

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!
