    I will get you the content, but I do not have a camera for the computer, we just bought this computer. But as I said, I will get you the content, I love this album from the great Ali, my friend. I found it for you, it is on You Tube, listed under I am The Greatest. Cassius Clay album. I know that you are going to enjoy it, he makes poems about Sonny Liston, there is one using Henry Cooper's name.

    i bought it on cd, which was transferred 1:1 from the longplayer.
    released in 1963, when muhammad was still cassius clay.
    featured are mainly excerpts from his comedy show then, with a few songs thrown in.
    who has ever heard - to this day! - of a young prize fighter, who launches his own comedy and singing show and it´s longplayer, proclaiming himself as "the greatest" and "future world heavyweight champion", who not even had a title shot by then - it is unparalleled!

    today this longplayer is almost forgotten.
    buy it and listen to it, you won´t regret!

    He's not a great singer by any means but this rates better than what i've heard from Joe Frazier or Larry Holmes, never mind the efforts of Pinklon Thomas.

    Tyson Fury may well be the best though, even with his messed up hoarse voice.

    Ali has a better voice than Ernie Terrell's, who also sang.
