On the Neon Beat Show 107R6: Her Nibs, Miss Gibbs opens the hour with her sprite rendition of an old R&B tune. Georgia Gibbs sings “Tweedle Dee”. (“Her Nibs” A Jimmy Durante endearment) Then Frank Sinatra will help you take a fews years off with the song, “You Make Me Feel So Young”. Johnny Mathis grabs the mic next for the song“Small World”. Hear more period hit makers like Sammy Davis Jr with “I've Gotta Be Me”, Perry Como with his lively version of “South of the Border”, Nat King Cole with a Fats Waller standard, Jo Stafford with a Broadway song called “The Gentleman is a Dope,” and Bing Crosby performs a standard with The Williams Brothers (featuring a young Andy) singing “Swinging on a Star”. Grab a tune or two with some of the fine period groups including The McGuire Sisters, The Chordettes and The Fleetwoods. Get some great trumpet with Al Hirt putting some honey in the horn with “Cotton Candy”. And we'll go “Jumpin' at the Woodside” with Benny Goodman's Orchestra. Watch your back kiddo as we remember “The Night has a Thousand Eyes” with Bobby Vee. Listen to some great guitar with Mister Guitar: Les Paul does “The World is Waiting for the Sunrise”. Listen to more fine offerings from Tony Martin, Helen O'Connell, and Sarah Vaughan. Right off the vinyl baby. Crank it!
