On the Neon Beat Show 101R6: Ella Fitzgerald launches our show this hour with a jazzy treatment of a fine Irving Berlin song, “Blue Skies”. Next we'll listen to a film song originally sung by Ann Blyth in the movie, “The Great Caruso”. A song to be picked up and recorded by Mario Lanza in 1951. We'll play his hit version of the song “The Loveliest Night of the Year”. Hear more great film and stage songs with Percy Faith's “Theme from A Summer Place”, The Mike Curb Congregation with a song from the Clint Eastwood film “Kelly's Heros”, Henry Mancini with “The Baby Elephant Walk” from “Hatari”, and Sarah Vaughan with good friend Billy Eckstein singing a lovely version of the song “Always”. We'll spin Nat King Cole and the chorus singing “All Over the World”, followed up with Jo Stafford's lush version of “You Belong to Me”. Listen to some great period groups like the Four Lads, The Chiffons, and one by the Carpenters with “Yesterday Once More”. We'll do a little Rat Packing with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr cutting up with the song “Me and My Shadow” followed with a popular song by Dean Martin. More with the Count Basie Orchestra backing Joe Williams on the floor in Vegas, Guy Mitchell with “Sparrow in the Treetop” and Elvis singing “Tell Jim I Said Hello”. Enjoy. ALSO: Now heard Midnight to 6AM M-F at KCMUSIC. thekooldj.com https://www.mixcloud.com/john-christopher10/the-neon-beat-show-101r6/?fbclid=IwAR2jEmJaMHS5MZ0LEh63DFDOpv0ZGONDy50wq3l_hfr8NrudfpQ9YaTq9Y4
