Although well regarded by aficionados of space age pop, Hammond organ virtuoso Eddie Layton was even more beloved by visitors to the House That Ruth Built, serving close to four decades as the official organist at baseball’s landmark Yankee Stadium. Born October 19, 1925, in Philadelphia, Layton studied music as a child, but majored in meteorology in college. After enlisting in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he first encountered the Hammond in a Naval air station in Linhurst, NJ, and his fate was sealed. After the war Layton studied under the legendary theater pipe organist Jesse Crawford while working the theater circuit himself, eventually landing a steady gig at Radio City Music Hall. From there he worked at CBS, first in radio and later in television Layton was also on the Hammond payroll for over 50 years, touring music stores around the world to demonstrate their organs. (By his own estimate, he visited and performed in over 700 stores on five continents.) Inevitably, Layton became a recording artist as well, signing to Mercury to release a series of jazzy easy listening LPs, including Organ Moods, No Blues on This Cruise, and Better Layton Than Never.
