Goodbye Bob Newhart

In 1960, Bob Newhart's debut comedy album, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, did things no one expected. It was the first comedy album to make number one on the Billboard charts and win two Grammy Awards, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist, on it's way to becoming a Gold Record.

It also spawned four sequel albums. All also available in Apple Music:

1960 - The Button-Down Mind Strikes Back!
1961 - Behind the Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart
1962 - The Button-Down Mind on TV
1965 - The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart - The Windmills Are Weakening

He went on to have a very long and successful career in television and film, but if you've never heard his early standup work, you're missing out. One of my favorites is Superman and the Drycleaner, one of Bob's classic telephone bits.
