About this album
The Prophet is a distinctive spoken-word album that turns Kahlil Gibran’s celebrated prose poem into an accessible, theatrical listening experience. Richard Harris brings warmth, authority and a measured dramatic intensity to the text, giving the reflections on love, marriage, children, work and friendship a vivid narrative shape. Issued in 1974, the recording sits between pop, rock and easy listening, blending orchestral colouring with spoken delivery rather than conventional songcraft. Its enduring appeal lies in the way Harris helps Gibran’s spiritual and philosophical ideas feel immediate, making the album a curious and memorable crossover between literature and popular music.
