The Sound of the Dodgers

Vin Scully, Stubby Kaye, Jimmy Durante, Willie Davis & Maury Wills

I found a copy of The Sound of the Dodgers at a vintage store. It’s a novelty album from the mid-1960s, produced by Jackie Barnett and released by Jaybar Records. The record features Dodger players like Maury Wills and Willie Davis singing, along with performances by Vin Scully, Jimmy Durante, and Stubby Kaye. Durante sings a tribute to Sandy Koufax called “Dandy Sandy,” and Kaye adds his usual showbiz style to the mix. My copy has a sticker on the cover that says “Compliments of The Las Vegas Club,” which was likely a giveaway from the casino—something that was common at the time. I couldn’t find who currently holds the copyright for this album. I’m posting it here on Baseball Buddha Radio Network to share a piece of baseball history that’s too good to be forgotten.
