Told entirely in song, this biblical tale... actually a grab-bag of rock, country, vaudeville song-and-dance, French ballad, and calypso...relates the tale of Joseph, Jacob's favorite of 12 sons, to whom papa gives a resplendent coat of many colors. Joseph's jealous brothers thereupon sell him into slavery and he is taken to Egypt where he interprets the dreams of an Elvis Presley-type Pharaoh. His wise prophecy so impresses the Pharaoh that he becomes Egypt's Number Two man and saves the country from famine.
