NOTES:
 
    Jackie Robinson became the first African American ballplayer to play in Major League Baseball, when he started at first base for the Brooklyn Dodgers on April 15, 1947. Jackie Robinson inspired a number of singers and songwriters to compose songs in his honor. Following Robinsons debut, the Library of Congress Copyright Office received at least four songs with Robinson as their subject, including such titles as "The Jackie Robinson Boogie" and "Jackie Robinson Blues."

 "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?" was written and performed by Buddy Johnson, who recorded it on Decca Records and was released in June of 1949. The song peak on the charts at number 13. Buddy neglected to consult with Robinson when he wrote and recorded the epic song. Johnson gave up one-third of the writer's share of the song to the Brooklyn Dodgers second baseman, as a token of good will. Later that year Count Basie re-recorded "Did You See Jackie Robinson Hit That Ball?" on the RCA Victor label and this version became a true baseball standard.

  "Did you see Jackie Robinson hit that ball?" - Lyrics 1949
By Buddy Johnson
 
  Did you see Jackie Robinson hit that ball?
It went zoomin cross the left field wall.
Yeah boy, yes, yes. Jackie hit that ball.

And when he swung his bat,
the crowd went wild,
because he knocked that ball a solid mile.
Yeah boy, yes, yes. Jackie hit that ball.

Satchel Paige is mellow,
so is Campanella,
Newcombe and Doby, too.
But it's a natural fact,
when Jackie comes to bat,
the other team is through.

Did you see Jackie Robinson hit that ball?
Did he hit it? Yeah, and that ain't all.
He stole home.
Yes, yes, Jackie's real gone.

Did you see Jackie Robinson hit that ball?
Did he hit it? Yeah, and that ain't all.
He stole home.
Yes, yes, Jackie's real gone.
Jackie's is a real gone guy.
