On the Neon Beat (Show 62R6) Mel Carter sings our first fine offering as we open with his 1965 hit single “Hold Me Thrill Me”. We follow with a standard from 1964 as we “Sing in the Sunshine” with a beauty from Auckland, New Zealand: Gale Zoe Garnett. A couple of blue numbers follow with Dean Martin doing a smooth alfredo version of “Blue Moon” followed with Leroy Anderson's “Blue Tango”. Besides Leroy, enjoy more fine period instrumentals with Ferrante and Teicher, Henry Mancini, and Herb Alpert. Hear great show tunes with Vic Damone with a number from “West Side Story”, Robert Goulet with a song from “Porgy and Bess”, and Ella Fitzgerald with some playful Cole Porter music from “Gypsy”. We'll team up Tony Bennett and Michael Buble with a popular Duke Ellington standard followed up with some lush music by Nat King Cole singing a song originally done by actress Judy Garland. We'll track the song “There's a Kind of Hush” by Herman's Hermits, play a song heard in the film “Pinocchio” sung by Barbra Streisand from her first 1964 album, and listen to Steve Lawrence with his hit version of a Carole King song. More from Vikki Carr, Eddie Fisher and Carly Simon. Crank and enjoy.
