Sign in to disble this ad
other than the theme from season 6 starting with a quote from jr walker and the all stars shotgun, there is a ton of good bass playing throughout the show, if you listen to the show breaks, there is some awesome slap bass, some cool motown style fills and such. i was wondering if anyone knows the name of the bassist or bassists who do the work on the show?

Tha track/theme song is called "Hicky Burr".
If I'm wrong, please correct me!

Hmm... Oh well. I stand corrected!
Thanx!!!
EDIT: Cosby helped Quincy Jones write Hickey Burr for his first tv show - not the Cosby Show as I thought. Oops!

With the hippin' and the hoppin' and the bippin' and the boppin', they don't know what the jazz is all about. Y'see, jazz is like Jello pudding... no, that's not it. Jazz is like Kodak film... no, that's not right neither. I've got it, jazz is like the new Coke - it'll be around forever
