The Neon Beat on Radio George - 7.29.19

On the Neon Beat this week: Look OUT ol' Mac is Back. Juke 1 launches with some classic Bobby Darin. Then we turn the big stage over to Kansas City's Marilyn Maye, with a fine Cy Coleman song from “Sweet Charity.” We team up Judy Garland and Gene Kelly as the bells ring, “For Me and My Gal.” Enjoy some more theatre film and TV music with Perry Como's rendition of “Seattle,” followed up with a pretty instrumental from the film “The Owl and the Pussycat.” The Vince Guraldi Trio plays the song to be forever associated with Charles Schulz and Peanuts. Jukebox 2 takes off with another film song from “Baby the Rain Must Fall” by Glen Yarbrough. Sammy Davis Jr pops in with the Mike Curb Congregation a cheerful hit called “The People Tree.” Then hear Doris Day sing from her film “Romance On The High Seas.” Crank up the great period groups like The Mills Brothers with “All the Way Around the World,” Simon and Garfunkel with “America” from their celebrated “Bookends” album. The Everly Brothers with “All I Have To Do Is Dream,” Herman's Hermits with “There's a Kind Of Hush,” Chad and Jeremy with “Yesterday's Gone,” and The Carpenters with their hit song, “Superstar.” Juke 3 begins with “Kiss Me Goodbye” by Petula Clark followed up with Roger Whittaker's spirited song “New World in the Morning.” We'll bring back Perry Como on Juke 3 for more film music with his fine performance of “As Time Goes By.” Listen to the great period hit makers like Nat King Cole with the perky, “Just You, Just Me, and” Peggy Lee with an attitude song called “Pass Me By.” We'll spin the songs That's Life,” and “Strangers in the Night” by Frank Sinatra, the soulful “Rainy Night in Georgia” by Brook Benton, and Tony Bennett with “Chicago” and his signature standard “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.
