Over the past century, few entertainers have achieved the
legendary status of William H. Cosby Jr. His successes span five decades
and virtually all media, remarkable accomplishments for a kid who
emerged from humble beginnings in a Philly project.
In the 1960s, his stand-up act was a coast-to-coast sensation,
spawning a string of hilarious, best-selling comedy albums, which went
on to win eight Gold Records, five Platinum records and five Grammy
Awards. His role on TV’s I Spy made him the first African-American to
co-star in a dramatic series, breaking television’s racial barrier and
winning three Emmy Awards. In the 1980s, he again rocked the television
world with the The Cosby Show, a gentle, whimsical and hugely successful
series that single-handedly revived the family sitcom (and rescued
NBC).
With hit movies like Uptown Saturday Night and best-selling
books like Fatherhood, Bill Cosby is quite simply a national treasure
with the unique ability to touch people’s hearts.
