On the Neon Beat Show 77R6: We launch this hour with a great recording by The Drifters. Sing along with their hit song about that place where the Neon lights are bright: “On Broadway”. Elvis Presley grabs the stage next for the theme song from the film “Viva Las Vegas”. We'll track more period show tunes with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra with a song from “High Society', Denver's own Dianne Reeves performs a classy rendition of “Oh Lady Be Good”, Dinah Shore with a number from “My Fair Lady”, and Vic Damone singing a song theme from a 1957 movie starring Cary Grant and Debra Kerr: “An Affair to Remember.” Listen to Dean Martin with his 1956 hit single, “Memories are Made of This.” Enjoy a great Hoagy Carmichael song as Kay Starr sings “Up a Lazy River” followed with Nat King Cole's “Rambling Rose”. Our next set starts with Engelbert Humperdinck with his first charting hit song, “The Last Waltz” followed with a jazzy version of “Let There Be Love” by Sammy Davis Jr. Get your big band fix with Benny Goodman doing “The King Porter Stomp” and Louis Prima with “Jump Jive and Wail”. Catch the Ames Brothers with their 1955 hit song, “The Naughty Lady of Shady Lane”. Then hear Johnny Mathis with “Small World” and actress Debbie Reynolds with a saucy version of the song “S'posin”. More with the Mitch Miller Gang and Terry Gilkyson with his E.Z. Riders. Enjoy today at:
