It's a safe bet most of us who owned the album back in the day remember his narration of "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..." very well.

Sorry to hear about his passing.

What I don't get though is this: if he narrated The Story of Star Wars, how is it that he has an English accent there? He doesn't seem to be British. So did he adapt a faux-British accent for that reading? And if so, why?

According to the CNN story, he was from New Jersey.
I don't think he used a British accent, he just had a very refined, well-educated American accent (much like James Earl Jones').

He played a college professor on two episodes of The Cosby Show. He won an Emmy for one of the episodes. I actually prefered the other episode he was on. It was the one where Cliff Huxtable had a barbeque in freezing cold weather and all these people were over at the house for dinner. The most memorable part was when Theo and his friend "Cockroach" did a rap based on Julius Ceaser.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Ahh, that seems more familiar now. The Cosby show was great.
It's sad that Browne has died. He had a great ability to speak the English language.
