Almost impossible question. One episode of The Cosby Show has him playing a rare old jazz vinyl..?

Question

I can't remember whether it also had ":Night time is the right time" by Ray Charles in thr same episode or not. I just remember him throwing old records on and dancing with Claire (Phylicia Rashad). This old jazz song may have also had the word night in the title. I believe it was early 60's, late 50's, and he made a big deal about it in the show. Anybody know what it is?

I think I've found my answer.. A Night in Tunisia, by Charley Parker. Here's a link I found- http://www.tv.com/the-cosby-show/bird-in-the-hand/episode/12892/summary.html Thanks for your time in trying to answer my question. Now, I'm off to download! ;-) Btw, I think the interest in the song from that episode resulted in a re-issue of that album. The power of a popular show, wow!

He had a lot of great jazz on his show. My favorite was the instrumental "My Little Brown Book" with Duke Ellington and John Coltrane. A favorite album of mine.

I can say the second Bonanza theme, the one with the trumpets doing the theme, The first two Super friends themes, Hill Street Blues, Emergency, there are too many to list.

Answer 5

I remember one episode where they were dancing to Candy by Ray Charles:

Candy, I call my sugar Candy, because I'm sweet on Candy, and Candy's sweet on me
She understands me, my understanding Candy, and Candy's always handy
When I need sympathy, I wish that there were four of her,
So I could love much more of her.
She has taken my complete heart, got a sweet tooth for my sweetheart
Candy, it's gonna be just dandy, the day I take my Candy
And make her mine, all mine.

Answer 6

In a Sentimental Mood (Duke Ellington) ?

In A Sentimental Mood I can see
the stars come thru my room
While your loving attitude is
like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make
my Paradise complete
Rose pearls seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's lighter thing since you
made me this night a thing divine
In A Sentimental Mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you'd be
loving sentimental me
In A Sentimental Mood I can see
the stars come thru my room
While your loving attitude is
like a flame that lights the gloom
On the wings of ev'ry kiss
Drift a melody so strange and sweet
In this sentimental bliss you make
my Paradise complete
Rose pearls seem to fall
It's all like a dream to call you mine
My heart's lighter thing since you
made me this night a thing divine
In A Sentimental Mood
I'm within a world so heavenly
For I never dreamt that you'd be
loving sentimental me
