On the Neon Beat Show 112R6: We open this hour with a huge hit song originally intended for 1950's singer Kay Starr, who turned it down. Instead it was offered to and recorded by country singer Patsy Cline. Let's do the Stroll to the song, “Walking After Midnight”. Next Perry Como sings what would be one of the first hit songs written by Burt Bacharach. Perry Sings, “Magic Moments”. Hang on for more great songs sung by more singin' pizanos like Al Martino, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and Vic Damone. Snap your fingers to a Broadway song performed by the marvelous Marilyn Maye, “Sherry”. Get your instrumental fix with Hugo Winterhalter's Orchestra doin' a great Leroy Anderson piece, Ferrante and Teicher playing a great film song from “Exodus”, and Eric Kunzel conducts the Rochester Pops for a song from 42nd Street. Barbra Streisand performs “A Kid Again” from her first 1964 album. Hear Johnny Mathis with “Im Coming Home and Patti Page with her sweet rendition of “I'll Remember Today”. Catch some fine songs by period groups like The Duprees, The Four Aces, and The McGuire Sisters. More with Vic Dana and we'll throw in one by Carly Simon. “Haven't Got Time for the Pain”. Give a listen and enjoy.
