The Neon Beat - 8.16.20

On the Neon Beat this week at M-xcloud.com: Grab your Fedora and London Fog coat as we listen to Canadian Michael Buble slam into this hour with a rousing rendition of “A Foggy Day in London.” Next, we'll turn up some swing era big band as the Harry James Orchestra backs Helen Forest for, “I'm Beginning to See the Light.” Then we'll assemble The Andrews Sisters with Bing Crosby to sing a great ol' Johnny Mercer standard “Accentuate the Positive.” Later in the hour, enjoy yet another Johnny Mercer favorite as Nat King Cole sings “Day In, Day Out.” You'll hear more Nat Cole with a sentimental song from a 1963 album with the Ralph Carmichael Chorus, “That Sunday That Summer.” Ella Fitzgerald performs a Cole Porter selection with the song, “All Through the Night.” Catch more stage, Broadway and film selections with Rosemary Clooney, Tony Bennett, and Doris Day. We'll do a western set with Marty Robbins from Tales of the Western Gunfighter, Al Caiola's iconic “Theme from Bonanza,” and Dinah Shore dons her “Buttons and Bows” for that famous tune from the movie “The Paleface.” Turn up a Bowling Green, Kentucky group called the Hilltoppers with their rendition of the mid 1950's hit song “Marianne.” We'll cap off the hour with Frank Sinatra singin' “Too Marvelous for Words”, and Louis Armstrong with “Takes Two to Tango.” More with Al Hirt and Frankie Laine.
