Kenny Baker ~ Biography

Kenneth Laurence “Kenny” Baker was an American singer and actor who first gained notice as the featured singer on radio’s The Jack Benny Program during the 1930s. He appeared in seventeen film musicals and also Broadway productions.

He became a Christian Science practitioner and motivational speaker, and recorded a number of albums especially for inspiration from Bible verses and Mary Baker Eddy’s “seven hymns” taken from “Poem’s” one of the 17 books written by her. One of these “seven hymns” are sung each Sunday in Christian Science churches throughout the world.

There seems to be no better way to convey the “deeper spiritual insight” of Mary Baker Eddy in her “Poems” and Bible verses than through Soul manifesting itself as world-renown vocalist, Kenny Baker.

Poetry

Each of these Other Writings calls for a whole chapter to itself, and Poems more so than most because of the essentially metaphysical nature of poetry and its relation to Science. If we look into this aspect first it will illuminate Mrs. Eddy’s poems and the force of the fifteenth book.
Professor Erich Heller provides deep insight into the subject of poetry and meaning: “Poetry always means more than itself. Its meaning is the vindication of the worth and value of the world, of life and of human experience. At heart all poetry is praise and celebration …. Whatever it does, it cannot but confirm the existence of a meaningful world – even when it denounces its meaninglessness. Poetry means order, even with the indictment of chaos; it means hope, even with the outcry of despair. It is concerned with the true stature of things.” (The Hazard of Modern Poetry. )
