On the Neon Beat Show 18R4: On this hour of the radio show we open er' up with the theme from the Martin Scorsese film “New York, New York sung by Frank Sinatra. Hear more stage and film songs with Lena Horne with “Stormy Weather”, and Matt Monro with the theme from “Laura”. We'll also throw in a boob tube instrumental from the 1970's by Henry Mancini as we play “The Theme from the NBC Mystery Movie”. Also hear some swing era music with Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Orchestra as we “Take the “A” Train.” We'll do a little cosmic thing starting with Johnny Mathis singing “Venus” and Eydie Gorme doing “Fly Me to the Moon.” Then: listen as we do a little tribute to the late Steve Lawrence as we track his 1962 hit song, “Go Away Little Girl”. We'll “Hit the Road Jack” with Ray Charles and his Raylettes. Enjoy a set with Tony Bennett singing the enchanting “Stranger in Paradise” and Peggy Lee with her award winning hit song, “Is That All There Is?” with the orchestra directed by Randy Newman. Listen to Dean Martin with the song, “Sway!” Listen to fine period groups like The Ames Brothers with a Tommy Dorsey standard, and The Kingston Trio with the sentimental favorite called “Turn Around.” We'll team up Nat King Cole backed with the great piano of George Shearing for 'Let There Be Love.” More with Perry Como, Patti Page and Dinah Shore. Closing it out with the Rochester Pops doing some lively Leroy Anderson. “The Blue Bells of Scotland.” Listen today and enjoy.
