On the Neon Beat this week on Mixcloud: Ray Charles and his Raylettes launch this weeks great standards with his sassy 1961 hit song, “Hit the Road Jack.” Next we'll spin a live L.A. recording of The Lettermen singing “Going Out of My Head.” Eydie Gorme is next with a lilting version of “Fly Me to the Moon”, followed by Perry Como's wonderful 1970 comeback hit song, “It's Impossible.” Lots of stage and film music in this weeks offerings with Vikki Carr singing a hit song from “Little Me”, Andy Williams with a lovely selection from “State Fair,” Frank Sinatra with “The Lady is a Tramp,” The Marvelous Marilyn Maye with an amorous number from “Kismet”, James Last and his Orchestra with a lush rendition of a popular theme from Doctor Zhivago, and a riotous number from “Damn Yankees” sung by Sarah Vaughan. Listen to Bobby Goldsboro as he sings of “The Straight Life.” We'll play the song that defined the era by Nat King Cole as we listen to “Unforgettable.” Catch a little jazz standard with Stan Getz's “Girl From Impanema”, and a 1955 hit song for The Four Lads, “No Not Much.” More from The Classics 4, and Kenny Rogers and the First Edition.
