Bob Newhart was an advertising copywriter in Chicago who wrote comic satirical monologues with a work colleague, sending tapes of them to radio stations, which led to an introduction to Warner Bros. Records, who signed him on the strength of the audition tapes. He expanded his material to develop a stand-up routine and became a popular nightclub performer.\n\nHowever it was his first LP in 1960 \u201CThe Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart\u201D which launched him to prominence, using the technique of portraying one end of a telephone conversation. It became the first comedy album to reach No. 1 in the Billboard album charts, winning a Grammy in 1961 for Album Of The Year. The album also made No.2 in the UK album charts, where certain tracks became popular on radio request shows.\n\nThat same year, he released the follow-up album \u201CThe Button-Down Mind Strikes Back\u201D, which also went on to win an award for Best Comedy Performance \u2013 Spoken Word.
