Revenge (Bill Cosby album)

Revenge (1967) is the fifth album by comedian Bill Cosby. It was recorded live at Harrah's, Lake Tahoe, Nevada by Warner Bros. Records. It won the 1968 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album. It also hit #1 on the Billboard R&B chart and #2 on the magazine's Pop album chart.

Like earlier albums such as I Started Out as a Child and Wonderfulness , this album features several anecdotes based on Cosby's childhood memories. It also serves to introduce Fat Albert, one of his most enduring characters.

The track "Buck Buck" contains Cosby's first recorded mention of Fat Albert, his Philadelphia childhood friend who would later become the basis for the hit cartoon series Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids ; Albert's signature cry "Hey! Hey! Hey!", a trademark of the later TV series, is also heard for the first time. Old Weird Harold, another of Cosby's friends/characters, figures prominently in the "9th Street Bridge" routine.
