Free Music Notes for Prophet: Kahlil Gibran
Free Music Review: The Prophet by Richard Harris
Hit: 5 Stars
The audio version of Kalil Gibran's "The Prophet" (read by the late, great Richard Harris) has been a favorite of mine through years past, and it continues to be my favorite inspirational audio cd above many. I boldly quote passages from it, and it is not unusual to hear me singing snatches from the medley on 'love' and 'children' and 'marriage.'
I first discovered the prophet many, many years ago after the President of my country died and the radio station was playing this thing. It blew me over gently and I bought the LP.
Since then I have grown into saying to people, "You do not need to go to church to understand how to live this life; just listen to "The Prophet."
I have gone on Amazon more than once and have bought copies of "The Prophet" and have had them delivered to people I care about---people with life issues---people not at ease with everyday life.
This is an exellent bit of work, and I'm damn happy that it's still available on Amazon.
Many have said to me, "Harold...you have a good heart." This compliment comes to me often. Why? Because through the words of Kalil Gibran (and out of the mouth of Richard Harris), I practice 'giving'...I give so that I might live. This audio work, has changed my life.
Get it; it may change yours also.
Free Music Review: Astonishing Blend of Material & Performer!
Hit: 5 Stars
I stumbled on this album on cassette in my college days. As it combined one of my favorite books with one of my favorite performers, (Richard Harris is, to me the quintessential "King Arthur", before "Dances With Wolves" he was, "A Man Called Horse", & how inscrutably charming is his "Prof. Albus Dumbledore?" -- Merlin must be proud!) I took it home & soon played it often. So much that I've gone through at least 3 copies on cassette. I no longer dared hope to find it on CD since most sources don't even list it at all, I'm ECSTATIC! To describe the music is not my forte, but I can tell you the music & spoken elements combine in a way that soothes while also challenging the heart & soul! The only drawback is that this is an abridged presentation,so some beautiful parts aren't there, but what is is sublime! Go Get It!Free Music Review: Something Remembered
Hit: 5 Stars
I remembered hearing The Prophet being played by my mother in the house many times in Jamaica W.I,by the way i was born in Jamaica W.I on December 23, 1970 and The Prophet came out i think in 1974(knowing my mother she stills has the album somewhere). But as kids i did not understand what it meant hearing the music and the spoken words together or why our mother loved listening to it, but for some strange reason years later i would always remember hearing the strange music with the man talking over it. Not knowing the name of the album or the person speaking i asked my older brother about 2 to 3 weeks ago if he remembered hearing our mother playing some strange music when we were kinds and to my surprise he knew it. Just thought that i would share that.
Thanks.

If you have read the book, you'll really enjoy this recording. The best late night, headphone recording of a story I've ever enjoyed. Wonderful for readings for a wedding ceremony. Richard Harris' voice is perfect for delivering the inspirational message in the text, and the score by Arif Mardin is outstanding. The only shortcoming I found was Harris' singing in one track; not his strong point, but short, and easy to overlook. I have owned and enjoyed this recording since the early '70s, and have worn out the album and a cassette. (had to wait a long time for the CD; thank goodness it exists now)Free Music Review: A Beautiful reading of a wonderful book
Hit: 5 Stars
The musical background combined with the sage words of Gibran being read by Richard Harris creates a spiritual event of grace and depth. I have owned this recording since back in the old LP days, and wanted to give this as a gift to a friend who was dealing with some major losses. It is inspiring, touching and helps remind us of the power of soul, love and "God". It would make a wonderful gift for anyone you care about, including yourself. Spiritual without preaching, non-demoninational, just lovely sensitive perspectives on life and living. Enjoy!!
