The Vinyl Word: Our Hero… Pat Cooper

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on July 19th, 2005

From the liner notes of “Our Hero…Pat Cooper”:

“Cooper was earning his living as a bricklayer and catapulted
ino the national spotlight through three sock appearances on Jackie
Gleason’s television show on CBS.”

“He is the only comedian in the history of New York City’s famed Copacabana to work at that popular bistro four times within an eighteen month period.”

Last year, we featured Cooper’s delicious Whipped Cream and Other Delights cover parody from his “Spaghetti Sauce and Other Delights” which was the followup to this, his debut album.
