Review

It's a testament to the strength of Bill Cosby's early albums for Warner Bros. that one best-of album wasn't enough to cover all the high points -- thus, this second compilation. While it's true that the material here isn't quite as good as that on the first best-of, it's all still right near the top of the pile, from reminiscences about raising his first two daughters to his earlier days in school -- whether smoking in the bathroom or hassling the shop teacher. The longest piece here is also the best: "Hofstra" details Cosby's involvement with one of the worst football teams ever, and with a very memorable game. ~ Sean Carruthers, Rovi

More of the Best of Bill Cosby (1970) is the thirteenth album by Bill Cosby.

It is his second compilation album containing favorites from his tenure with Warner Bros. Records, which had just been completed earlier that year. Oddly, this second volume includes "The Apple," which had already been included on the first volume.
