Someone has finally posted a blurry VHS recording of Stevie Wonder demonstrating his Synclavier on the Cosby Show. It's a bit more scripted and toe-curling than Herbie Hancock on Sesame Street, but still great. (Thanks, Mark and Crnk Mnky)
No speakers here at work, but I remember this episode very well. Theo says "Jamin on the one," and Rudy makes the sound of a giraffe. Stevie samples them and makes a little tune out of it.
This is great. The last time I saw this was when it aired originally. All I could remember was "Baby... B..B..Baby". This was the first time I saw a sampler. I think I was 8 or 9.
Confession of extreme sadness: I used to watch the Cosby Show just for Lisa Bonet.
