Some recording artists are such worldwide superstars they only need one name: Elvis...Madonna...Ken?The name of Ken's masterwork is By Request Only, so don't expect him to just show up in your town uninvited. You have to ask for Ken.
I think Ansel Adams took these cover photos. Notice how the extreme close-up, which highlights Ken's hair helmet and cheesy moustache, contrasts nicely with the seated shot, which features Ken's trademark off-white leisure suit and a background that was later used in child pornography.
There are many rumors as to the whereabouts of Ken. One theory holds that he's now a homeless man wandering the streets of Oakland, California; while others insist he was found dead in a public bath house in the early eighties. Where have you gone, Ken? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

ohhhh that is a bad picture.... and at some point in time, someone probably thought he was hot. I hope that this is not from your personal album collection.
Now I will have to goggle it to see if there is anything worth listening to. I doubt it but, hey, ya never know..
Love you too toots!
;)
I think it's Wojo with a mustache. Maybe he's working undercover!
uh huh...i'm sure the album cover is the only bad thing about this dude.
Is this the same guy that stole millions from Alex Trebek?
OMG he is so hawt.
I like the shot of his face. It's very lifelike.
Yummy... any word on if Ken is still single??
Who wouldn't request Ken?
With those sweet sideburns and foxy threads? That dude is a chick magnet.
It's all about the 'chops, yo.
Am i the only one a little turned on?
I'll be leaving now.
Where did you find this?
I thought that I had bought up every last copy of my father's debut album.
Apparently not.
You can also request that Ken stay away...far, far away.
How can there be so many disturbing things in four square inches?
The last I heard of him was he was living with his 10 year old "cousin" in a shack in the Appalachians practicing his banjo.
BTW leisure suites are awesome....and not in a good way.
holy shit!!! i've got that album too!!!
I'm pretty sure I remember Ken. Didn't he die when his tour bus crashed while traveling between shows during the 1977 Discopalooza tour?
oh my.
i like mutton chops, but the chester moustache, dome hair cut, and flame retardant suit sort of ruin it.
Oh my... erm... stunning, it's comforting to know that men with such style and good looks exist in the world... oh Ken where have you been all my life?
I think his name is Ken Tucky.
He looks like he has an unbridled spirit.
He looks like a high school principal-back in the days when high school principals and porn stars were sporting the same 'stache & style.

How many times can I come to this site and lamely comment, "I'm shaking with laughter Todd I love you you're a god?"
Todd, I love you. You're a God. I'm shaking with laugher.
Seriously, I have my hand clamped over my mouth to keep from waking the neighbours, though I'm sure they're all under a cocaine coma by now.
hawt.

Mcfarlane did a better job on Uncle Rico than on Ken...
and it's just a shame how Barbie dumped him.
I have seen this cover many times before, but you made me laugh so hard with your description that I just may have to photoshop a comeback album!
Ken: Back by Request! Definitely blad, but with or without the stache? After all, his public expects it, right?
