On this edition of The Neon Beat: Dean Martin launches this hour with his 1966 song, “Somewhere There's a Someone.” Natalie Cole takes the stage next for some great tribute to Ella Fitzgerald with “Tiskit Tasket.” Listen to Perry Como with a bluesy take on “Dream on Little Dreamer,” Kay Starr with a standard from which a TV game show takes it's name” and Nat King Cole with a sentimental selection from the 1951 film “Anna.” Turn up some fine period instrumentals beginning with some swingin' Benny Goodman big band as we do “The King Porter Stomp.” Hear some soulful clarinet with Acker Bilk playing, “Stranger on the Shore” and a movie standard by Gato Barbieri from “Last Tango in Paris.” Listen to Tony Bennett's smooth treatment of a Beatles standard, The Carpenters with “Top of the World,” and Petula Clark's “Don't Sleep in the Subway.” More with Steve and Eydie, Pat Boone, and Judy Garland from “Meet Me in St Louis.” Got some Elvis and a huge hit for the Silver Fox. Namely, Charlie Rich. Enjoy the memories!
