On the Neon Beat Show106R6- Gary Puckett and a band that took their name from a town near Yakima, Washington opens this hour with one of their latter 1960's hit songs, “Over You”. We follow up, brushing up on our Italian as Connie Francis sings, “Quando Quando Quando”. Steve Lawrence goes Bob Ross with “A Portrait of My Love” followed with Steve's better half, Eydie Gorme, singing her 1963 hit song, “Blame it on the Bossa Nova” backed by a period group called the Cookies. This hour we'll track a couple of songs remembering Astrud Gilberto. Hear her signature, “ Girl from Impanema” with Stan Getz, “A Summer Samba” and “Bim Bom”. Listen to more great pop songs on this extended version of the Neon Beat. Nat King Cole with “Pretend”, Doris Day with “Que Sera Sera”, Tony Bennett sings “If I Ruled the World” and Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby sing one from the film “High Society”. We'll “sauce and pickle” our show with some great instrumentals including Vince Guaraldi doing the lovely, “Cast Your Fate to the Wind” and Andre Previn with “Like Young”. Our period groups include songs by The Four Lads and one by The Young Rascals. More hit singles by Glen Campbell, Patsy Cline, Dionne Warwick, and a back-o-the-rack memory from songwriter Mac Davis. Good listening!
