A House Full of Love: Music from The Cosby Show

A House Full of Love: Music from The Bill Cosby Show is a studio album by American jazz saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. recorded together with an ensemble of various musicians. The album was released in 1986 through Columbia Records label. Most of the compositions in the record were written by Bill Cosby, Stu Gardner and Arthur Lisi.

Reception
Ed Hogan of AllMusic wrote "This album was presented by longtime Bill Cosby collaborator, producer Stu Gardner and includes the theme song and background music from on his hugely successful 80s NBC-TV sitcom. Of note are Cosby's recitations on the steppers favorite, "Look at This," (the instrumental version was used in a dance scene between Cosby and co-star Phylicia Rashad) and the earnest "Love In Its Proper Place".
