On the Neon Beat Show 116R6: Frank Sinatra pairs up with Keely Smith for a sprite rendition of a song asking the question “How Ya Fixed For Love?” Next we throw the mic toward the Marvelous Marylin Maye as she takes the stage for “Step to the Rear!” Then we enjoy some great swing era music with Benny Goodman doing, “The Jersey Bounce.” The hour abounds with show tunes beginning with Vic Damone singing a song from “Pal Joey.” Hear Doris Day singing “Secret Love” from Calamity Jane. Listen to a haunting number from The Flower Drum Song sung by Tony Bennett. We'll remember the film “Where the Boys Are”, the theme sung by Connie Francis. And we'll get light on our feet with Fred Astaire with a song and dance from “Top Hat”. Catch a little Dean Martin for “Mambo Italiano.” Brook Benton sings a sensual number called “A Rainy Night in Georgia.” Then we go back home again to “Indiana” with Kay Starr. We'll spin Rick Nelson's “Traveling Man,” The Ink Spots with “Don't Get Around Much Anymore,” Nancy Wilson's 1964 Grammy Award winning song, “How Glad I Am,” and England's own Matt Monro performing a jazz standard called “When Sunny Gets Blue”. More from the Ames Brothers, Kenny Ball and his Jazzmen and a movie song from “Good Night and Good Luck” by Dianne Reeves.
