Editorial Reviews :
Here's a slice of Cosby before he became a major television star. At this point in time, the main appeal of I Started Out as a Child is its innocence. Recorded live at a Chicago club in 1964, the disc is a product of a now-quaint American scene, as yet untouched by the radical social changes that were just around the corner. Cosby pulls in the listener by introducing his only mildly humorous stories in a warm, intimate tone. Then he switches to using a variety of animated voices and vocal sound effects to get laughs from a responsive audience. If you want to enjoy the gentle ambiance and warmth of another time, this CD is for you. However, Cosby's at-times charming, skilled performance isn't enough to make this dated material funny.
Buyer Reviews :
'I Started Out as a Child' is very early Bill Cosby, when his standup routines are more about television (e.g., 'The Lone Ranger' and 'T.V. Football') and places he has been (e.g., 'Seattle') more than his own life. Consequently, you get more traditional jokes and punch lines (e.g., 'Oops') than we find down the road when Coz starts mining his childhood and the joys of raising his own children for comedy gold. However, we do get a glimpse of the future with 'Street Football.' The man gets much, much better as a comedian, but it always nice to look back and see how the man started out.
