The Neon Beat - 7.14.20

On the Neon Beat uploaded to Mx-Cloud this week: We'll “Let Ourselves Go” as we open this hour of great American standards with Ella Fitzgerald singing a swinging Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein song. Sammy Davis Jr takes the stage next for a song with the Mike Curb Congregation. (A song that you can taste) Then turn up the hit record for Canadian Frank Mills as he plays his million selling keyboard hit, “The Music Box Dancer.” We'll spin the 1964 Grammy award winning song for Nancy Wilson, “How Glad I Am.” Catch some great period film and stage hits sung by Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, The Lettermen and The Marvelous Marilyn Maye. Also catch an amazing remix of the theme from a 1960's British spy TV show called “The Avengers.” Dean Martin taps on the coke bottle and takes on a country song called “Houston” followed up with Johnny Mathis singing “Small World Isn't It?” Then we'll be “Coming On Strong” with Little Miss Dynamite, aka, Brenda Lee. We'll hop aboard that “Slow Boat to China” with Oklahoman Kay Starr and do a bit o' “Learnin' the Blues” with Frank Sinatra. More from Peggy Lee, Si Zentner's Orchestra and a back-of -the-rack million selling song for Tony Orlando and Dawn.
