"Im In the Mood for Love" and The Cosby Show

"Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?"

Moments like this are why The Cosby Show will always be one of my favorite shows. Beautiful, sentimental, and 'fun' family moments like these are unforgettable. Moreover, Cosby got Nancy Wilson to sing, too! The show featured numerous black musical legends, including Stevie Wonder, Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Lena Horne, Art Blakey, Miriam Makeba and a plethora of others in addition to featuring music of jazz and R&B legends such as James Brown, Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, John Coltrane, and Duke Ellington. Indeed, this show introduced me to King Pleasure, as well as the unforgettable "In a Sentimental Mood" by Duke Ellington, featuring Coltrane. Claire Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad) ain't a bad singer, either.
