by Larry LapkaRobert Klein's unique standup persona as a hip but simple man caught up in an ever-changing world has made him one of the top comics in his field for the last 20 years, starting with The Ed Sullivan Show. With numerous cable-TV specials, films, and Broadway shows to his credit, he remains a very visible comic, although his recording work has been scant. In addition to appearing on the comedy concept recording Our Wedding Album, or the Great Society Affair (1966), he has made a few other solo comedy discs. The first two recordings are from the early '70s (and re-released by Rhino in 1991), while the last one is a new release.
