On The Neon Beat Show 86R6: Bobby Goldsboro takes the stage as we open this hour with one his biggest hit records. One of the few he did not write himself. Listen to Bobby sing “Watching Scotty Grow”. Then listen to a latter 1950's hit song sung by Dinah Washington, “What a Difference a Day Makes”. The Crew Cuts are next with their 1950's standard, “Life Could Be a Dream”, popularly known as “Sh'Boom”. Hear other fine period groups like The Chordettes with “Mr. Sandman” and the Fifth Dimension with “Up Up and Away”. We'll spin a little honey in the horn with Al Hirt as he toots out “Sugar Lips”. Hear some film and stage music with Shirley Bassey with a James Bond film theme, Lucille Ball with a song from “Wildcat”, Les Baxter with the theme from a John Wayne film, Perry Como with a stirring rendition of a song from “Fiddler on the Roof” and a boob tube selection with Capitol records Al Delory playing the theme from MASH. Nat King Cole will sing some great Johnny Mercer with “Day In, Day Out”. We'll spin a hit for Glen Campbell, “By the Time I Get to Phoenix” followed with Roy Rogers singing a Cole Porter standard “Don't Fence Me In.” More with Johnny Mathis, Sam Cooke, and Al Martino. Turn it up!
