About The Record:

Finnerty Flynn and the Singing City, is a children's album by Captain Kangaroo, released in 1969 and reissued in 1974, featuring a whimsical story narrated and sung by Bob Keeshan as Captain Kangaroo, alongside Mr. Green Jeans, Mr. Moose, and The Carillon Singers. Written by Clark Gesner, the album includes seven tracks, such as Finnerty Flynn and His Hundred and One Things, Singing City Sequence, and Sing Me Anywhere, blending storytelling with musical elements to engage young listeners. The album is historically significant as part of Captain Kangaroo's long-running CBS television series (1955–1984), reflecting its cultural impact on children's entertainment. No specific tracks are noted as hit singles in available sources, suggesting the album's appeal was more tied to its narrative and characters than chart-topping songs. Its collectible value is evident from vinyl sales however.
