On the Neon Beat Show 118R6: Its a “New World in the Morning” as we open this hour of fine memories with that song by Roger Whittaker. We follow Roger with “Happy Heart” by Petula Clark. Our screen and stage selections include hit songs by Ella Fitzgerald with a hot number from “Kiss Me Kate”, Vic Damone with a song from “West Side Story”, Jo Stafford with a standard from “South Pacific” and a boob tube song heard in the TV series “Here Come the Brides” sung by Perry Como. Dig on a little Frank Sinatra with “You Do Something to Me”. We'll spin a song sung by a man that Sinatra said had the sexiest chops in the business. Lou Rawls sings “Lady Love”. Hear a song based in some American folklore called “John Henry” performed by Harry Belafonte. Well team up Bette Midler and Barry Manilow for a great Peggy Lee song, and Buddy Clark with Doris Day for a little musical tease called “Love Somebody”. You'll hear hit records by the fine period groups like the Ames Brothers, and the Four Freshmen. And listen to a fun 1962 memory by Joanie Sommers with “Johnny Get Angry”. We;ll track the tender “Once Upon a Time” by Tony Bennett. Instrumentals by Leroy Anderson, and Perez Prado. Crank er up. See if you can hear the scratches.
