KEAN owes much of its magnificence to the extraordinary presence of Alfred Drake. command of the Broadway idiom is so complete that listening to him is both a pleasure and an education. The Wright-Forrest music is beautiful (and original). The show did suffer book issues which weighted it down. Kean was the only Broadway cast album he ever bought. I heard it alot in my home and fell in the love with it, epecially the lush musical arrangements and Alfred Drake's amazing vocals. I lost my dad in 1985. I have the vinyl and I always considerate it a wonderful reminder of him.
