Most people reading this will at least know who Muhammad Ali is. Olympic gold medalist and heavyweight boxing champion of the world, Ali has become a household name. However, did you know that he once released a comedy album?
In 1963, Muhammad Ali (then known by the name Cassius Clay) released a comedy album titled I Am the Greatest. At the time, Cassius Clay was still an up and coming boxer who had not yet won the world heavyweight champion title. The album is a lot of fun to listen to, such as this, the title track: "I Am the Greatest."
The back cover "blurb" puts it thusly:
"Yep, it's no empty boast as the greatest sportsman of the last, this, or any century does his thang in this hilarious amazing collection of standup, poetry, and rapping, just prior to entering the history books by becoming THE GREATEST EVER Heavyweight champ of all time!"
And, if you're interested in picking up the album for yourself, it's available at Amazon.com!
