I don't have any inside information here ... just a pretty good ear. And my best guess is that The Sea was narrated by actor Rock Hudson.
You would be wrong...At the request of the narrator Rod McKuen did not publish the name of the one narrating. Years later and after several other albums done with Rod he granted the use of his name..Jesse Pearson.
