Back in the mid 60s when I first heard one of his albums (I got them all), he was the funniest comedian that I had ever heard, and that impression lasted for many years. It was truely horrible and disgusting to hear about what he had done in his private life, and it will forever change how his many fans feel about him. It will also sour the many good memories that I have from listening to his routines over the years.

His current circumstances aside, Cosby was one of the funniest comics of our time. I've seen this comic legend perform live on multiple occasions, and own several of his albums. He never failed to entertain, and never stooped to shouting the "F bomb" to elicit cheap laughs to make up for lack of talent, like so many lesser talented hacks seem to do. He will always be a personal favorite.
I won't let the recent media coverage of Mr. Cosby change my mind and respect for his brand of art as he delivered it back in the day.
Sure, he isn't on everyone's "home screen" nowadays, but, he was a pioneer for the comedy industry at one time.
At one point i had all of his LPs, and proceeded to wear them out. Comic genius, plain and simple. I can still recite "Superman" verbatim. He had such an influence on our lives that I mentioned him in my eulogy for my Dad. Cos was the definitive comedian in our youth.
What can you say about this man? "THE BEST!!" "THE FUNNIEST!!!" My Favorite comedian of all time. No one has kept me laughing consistantly for 50 years like him! AND HE IS CLEAN.

'A self-indulgent comedian too in love with the sound of his voice' was my (unpopular) impression.
