Fat Albert The Prankster part 1/2

A staple on CBS-TV from 1972 to 1984, "Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids" was one of the best cartoons aired during the golden age of Saturday morning TV.

Each week, the gang learned a lesson and the episode ended with them singing a song about what they learned.

While many shows from the late-60's / early-70's era featured music segments (The Archies, The Globetrotter, Josie & The Pussycats, etc.), the songs on Fat Albert were far more educational than the bubblegum pop tunes of the earlier shows.

And like the earlier shows, the Fat Albert show *did* have a soundtrack LP released for it (Paramount PAS-6053). But, this LP now seems to be *extremely* rare. It's so uncommon that many Saturday morning cartoon music fans are totally unaware of its existence.

The video is from the original Filmation show.
"The Prankster" was written by Bill Danch and Jim Ryan

@apogalypse: It was a show that was meant to reach out to the African American youth of the 70s/80s because they were not represented.
