On the Neon Beat (show 48r6) Perry Como steams open this session with the Ramblers for a mid 1950's hit song called, “Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes.” Next we let The Lettermen take the stage for their retake of the old Four Coins hit song, “Shangri La” followed up with Kay Starr's “The Man Upstairs”. Our film and TV theme selections include the theme from “Gigi” by Andre Previn and the orchestra, Ferrante and Teicher with the theme from the film “Exodus” and the Henry Mancini orchestra with “Mister Lucky.” Get your Sinatra fix as he and Nelson Riddle's orchestra brew up a little “Witchcraft”. Then get your Elvis fix as the King sings, “Are You Lonesome Tonight”? We'll team up Barry Manilow with The Association for a great reunion retake of their hit song, “Cherish”. Listen to more great period hit songs by The Carpenters, The Kingston Trio, and The Lovin' Spoonful. Tom Jones punches out a steamy version of “Love Me Tonight.” Be sure to catch the lovely Jaye P. Morgan for the song, “That's All I Want From You.” And crank up a lovely tune heard in a James Bond film performed by Carly Simon. Instrumentals with Walter Wanderley and Lawrence Welk.
