Alfred Drake (October 7, 1914 – July 25, 1992) was an American actor and singer.
Theatrical Nostalgia; or, Where Is the Life that Late I Led?
Before the sound on stage was fake,
Controlled by someone in the booth,
The virile voice of Alfred Drake
Stood the test of aural truth.
So raise a flagon for the sake
For how things sounded in our youth.
