Donated by Robert Williams in 2003.

An Unlikely Record

The world was introduced to Muhammad's first record in 1963, and it was not until 1976 that he would release not one more album, but two. 

The record shown here was produced by Arther Morrison and was intended to educate children on dental hygiene. It featured other big names alongside Muhammad, like Frank Sinatra and Howard Cosell. 

Muhammad also released "I'm the Greatest" the same year, which had 10 tracks, some with vocals from Muhammad and some that were purely instrumental.
