On The Neon Beat this week: We'll start this week's set with a latter 1950's hit song for Della Reese. “Don't You Know.” Nat King Cole follows with a little spelling exercise called “L.O.V.E,” followed up with the Ray Charles Singers. Then listen to a lush rendition of Arthur Lymon's “Yellow Bird.” Nat King Cole launches Juke 2 with “Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer.” Dusty Springfield is next with “I Only Want to Be With You.” Jo Stafford slams into Juke 3 with “The Gentleman is a Dope.” Then listen to Dean Martin as he sings, “Lay Some Happiness on Me.” Our stage, film and boob tube faire includes a rousing performance of “Get Happy” with Judy Garland. Spencer Ross plays a theme from the 1959 TV series, “The Philadelphia Story,” Ferrante and Teicher play the theme from the film “Exodus” followed by a Cole Porter standard from “Anything Goes” by Ella Fitzgerald. The Association sing the theme from “Goodbye Columbus,” Robert Goulet sings a standard from “Porgy and Bess,” And Billy Vaughn's Orchestra performs a pretty theme from “Circus of Horrors.” More film and stage with Barbra Streisand, Vikki Carr, and Andre Previn.
