On this edition of The Neon Beat: Sammy Davis Jr hits the stage for his hit record, “The Shelter of Your Arms.” Andy Williams grabs the mic next for his rousing version of “That Old Bilbao Song.” We'll roll back the clock to 1965 for Barbra Streisand's “He Touched Me.” Our lineup of fine Italian talent includes Tony Bennett singing “In the Middle of an Island.” (A song he still won't sing at concerts) Hear Connie Francis with her first smash hit, “Who's Sorry Now,” Frank Sinatra with the film theme from “The Tender Trap”, and Bobby Darin with a jazzy version of “Bill Bailey.” We'll team up Perry Como with Betty Hutton for a Frank Loesser song from “Guys and Dolls.” Listen to Nat King Cole with his lovely rendition of the song “Pretend.” We'll go “Swingin' On a Star” with Bing Crosby. Catch another great movie selection with the Ray Conniff Singers doing a song from “Doctor Zhivago.” We'll spin records with Johnny Mercer and the Pied Pipers, Rosemary Clooney, Big Daddy Burl Ives and do the “Tennessee Waltz” with Patti Page. Listen and glisten.
