On the Neon Beat this week on Mixcloud: We give Brook Benton the Gospel gun as he ascends to the pulpit for his 1962 hit single, “Shadrach.” After which, turn up your speakers for Tony Bennett with one his early Columbia hit singles, “Because of You.” We'll “Put a Little Love in Our Hearts” with Jackie DeShannon. Our stage and film selections this hour will be delivered by Ed Ames with a song from “I Do, I Do.” The English Gentleman, Matt Monro, sings a song from “Laura,” and Andre Previn plays a lovely rendition of a song from “Lili.' Also listen to Glen Campbell singing a song from the 1969 John Wayne film, “True Grit.” We'll spin some Burt Bacharach-Hal David music sung by Dionne Warwick. Get your 'Swing” on with the most requested big band era song of all time as Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra do “In The Mood.” We'll team up Rosemary Clooney with good friend Bing Crosby for the song “I Can't Get Started.” Hear Perry Como with one of his 1950's chart hit singles and Nat King Cole with a lovely rendition of the song, “I Love You For Sentimental Reasons.” Catch a “western” set with Glen Campbell, Sonny James and Roy Rogers with Dale Evans. More with Barry Manilow, The Supremes and Nashville pianist Floyd Cramer.
