On the Neon Beat Radio Show 96R6: We open with a brilliant vocal arrangement from 1964 and a hit for The Ray Charles Singers, “Love Me With all Your Heart”. Then we slam into full gear with Peggy Lee singing “Come Back to Me”. We'll mellow it out right after Peg's singing with the song “Nice N' Easy” by Frank Sinatra followed with some great big band with Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra doing “Song of India”. More lively instrumentals await the ears with Al Hirt performing live from the French Quarter, “When the Saints Go Marching In” Bent Fabric with the roller rink standard, “Alley Cat,” and the Silver Screen Orchestra with the theme from “Bonanza”. Some of our great woman of song this hour include Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt. Bette Midler and Barbra Streisand. Hear a fine rendition of a Beatles song by Tony Bennett, “Something”. And we'll play one by the Fab Four themselves called, “I'll Follow the Sun”. Written by Paul McCartney. Catch a lovely version of the song “Tenderly” performed by Nat King Cole, and a little cooking romp by Harry Connick Jr as he whips up “A Recipe for Making Love”. We'll spin the song “Busted” by Ray Charles, and snap our fingers to Roger Miller's “King of the Road”. More with a swinging Vegas version of “The Lady is a Tramp” by Buddy Greco and “Wake the Town and Tell the People” by Les Baxter's Orchestra and Chorus. Ya-all ready? Click and enjoy. https://www.mixcloud.com/john-christopher10/the-neon-beat-show-96/?fbclid=IwAR3QCHtcqoUh8-M-Eil_xDeaSH-9XtQ6KLdi8Ypg7WRDtGUsw-3Fj4eQ7Fw
