Jennifer is defending Keith's singing...a noble but doomed cause, my dear.
Keith wasn't an actively bad singer, but he had little range, depth, feeling
for it. Witness his solo record, Two Sides of the Moon, and his "Barbara Ann"
segment in TKAA film.
I'll give Keith lots of credit for trying, though. God bless him, wherever he
is.
