The Neon Beat - 12.13.20

On the Neon Beat this week uploaded to Mixcloud.com:  Barbra Streisand kicks off this session with some fun songs starting with a song sung by Barbra written by Milton Berle, “Sam You Made the Pants Too Long.”  Dean Martin follows next with “Little Old Wine Drinker Me.”  Then you'll hear a charming little 1967 diddy performed by Petula Clark called, “Cat in the Window.”  Next we'll go “Up on the Roof” with the Drifters.  The next segment opens with a film selection from a James Bond movie called, “You Only Live Twice.”  Hear more film and stage music with Frank Sinatra singing a number from the Yellow Rolls Royce, Louis Armstrong sings the theme and his hit version of “Hello Dolly,” followed with Pat Boone from a film starring Gary Cooper and Dorothy McGuire.  Listen to Engelbert Humperdinck with his sweeping version of “Quando Quando Quando”. We'll drop a needle on Raymond Lefevre and his Orchestra doing, “Mammy Blue.”  Catch a dynamic session with some great hitmakers beginning with Tom Jones with his first stateside hit, “It's Not Unusual”, followed with Al Martino with “Spanish Eyes” and Eydie Gorme with a stirring version of “Softly As I Leave You.”  Hear Nat King Cole with the lovely Hoagy Carmichael standard “Stardust.”  Turn up some good period folk with the Kingston Trio singing “Raspberries Strawberries.”  More with Frank Sinatra, Barry Manilow and Leslie Uggams.  (what is an Uggams?  She asks.)  Listen today.
