On the Neon Beat Show 114R6: Dionne Warwick opens our hour of great standards with the song “Promises Promises”. Ray Charles takes the stage next with a 1960 gospel-esk song that some church goers of the day found a little irreverent when played at some of Ray's live performances. “Hallelujah I Just Love Her So.” Listen to a beautiful rendition of the song “Eternally” by Sarah Vaughan. Enjoy more fine performances from our period ladies as we spin records with Patti Page, Peggy Lee, and Dinah Washington. Our instrumentals include Kai Winding's 1963 hit song, “More”, the theme from “Born Free” played by the orchestra of John Barry and the London Promenade Orch with a standard from “Oklahoma”. Frank Sinatra sings “I'll Be Seeing You”. Hear Perry Como with a perky rendition of “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby”. Also hear the late Roger Whittaker's stunning song that topped the record charts in the middle of the 1970's during a time when rock n' roll “hair bands” were dominating the airwaves. Listen to “The Last Farewell”. We'll drop a needle on songs by the great period groups like The Everly Brothers, The Platters, The Brothers Four, and The Cascades. (Bring your umbrella!) Enjoy kids!
