We'll track a mid 50's hit for The Four Lads as they sing, “Moments to Remember”. And listen to The Platters with their hit version of “Twilight Time”. Enjoy a little pop salsa as you listen to Trini Lopez with “Lemon Tree” followed up with Perry Como singing, “South of the Border”. We'll spin a Broadway selection with Ed Ames performing “My Cup Runneth Over” followed up with Petula Clark singing “It's a Sign of the Times” and Bobby Goldsboro singing about “The Straight Life”. Turn up some Dino as we listen to one of Dean Martin's signature hit songs, “Everybody Loves Somebody” and Ella Fitzgerald with a swinging version of “Let Yourself Go”.
