On the Neon Beat: This hour we open with a rousing signature number for the Marvelous Marilyn Maye: “Step to the Rear.” We continue with Dean Martin as we “Lay Some Happiness on Ya” followed with Al Martino singing the tender “Mary in the Morning.” Our instrumental content this hour includes the “Peter Gun Theme” by Henry Mancini, “Canadian Sunset” with jazz pianist Eddie Heywood with Hugo Winterhalter's Orchestra and a little “Tea for Two Cha Cha” with the orchestra of Tommy Dorsey. Hear The Gaylords with their charming hit recording of “The Little Shoemaker.” Our film and stage selections include Rosemary Clooney with a standard from “The Harvey Girls,” Sammy Davis Jr with “Someone Nice Like You”, Dionne Warwick with “I Say A Little Prayer” and Doris Day with a hit standard from “Pal Joey.” Frank Sinatra teams up with Keely Smith asking “How Ya Fixed for Love?” Listen to Nat King Cole's 1957 hit recording of “Send for Me.” Hear talk and game show mogul Merv Griffin with the lovely, “Morningside of the Mountain” followed with Pat Boone's “Love Letters in the Sand”. And sing along with the Highwaymen as we track their great campfire classic, “Michael.” More with the Ames Brothers, Benny Goodman and John Williams and the Boston Pops. Extended show. Enjoy!
