Welcome, Bill Cosby Fans! Betcha never saw him dressed like this before, huh? This is the cover from his rare 1977 musical comedy LP "Disco Bill".

Last week, I featured a memorial tribute to the late great 'Chicago' Eddie Schwartz, and this week I'm bringing him back for a rare unedited 1978 Bill Cosby radio interview as heard on WIND, Chicago. It was a rare live in-studio interview, and Eddie made the most of it by not interrupting him once for a commercial.

After Bill's visit, Eddie played "A Simple Love Affair" from the LP above. It's a slow, romantic spoken-word love ballad from a handsome, sexy man to a beautiful woman who just tried to kill him. Imagine Barry White's worst nightmare: trying to smooth-talk his way out of a relationship with a pistol packin' mama.

I didn't have time to feature any of the tracks from the LP in the broadcast, but there's a blog where you can hear the LP in its entirety or any individual track. It's called I'm Learning To Share, and you can visit by clicking here.

Next week is a treat for Dick Biondi fans: an uncut hour-long broadcast from 1969 on Chicago's WCFL. You'll hear every song, every jingle, every commercial, and every newscast.
