On the Neon Beat Show 05r6rq: The Crew Cuts launch this hour of TNB with their 1954 hit song, “Life Could Be a Dream”. More popularly known as “ShBoom.” Next, you'll hear three great names in pop music standards beginning with Frank Sinatra doing “Strangers in the Night” followed by a lovely duet with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. Enjoy singles by the great period groups like the Four Preps, The Kingston Trio, and a fun revisit of a novelty hit by The Hollywood Argyles: “Alley Oop”. (It's all in how you say “Dinosaur”) Hear some of the fine period singers like Bobby Vinton with “Everyday of my Life”, Peggy Lee with “A Doodling Song”, Nat King Cole with a rousing rendition of a great Johnny Mercer song, and Perry Como with a lovely song written by Don McLean. Hear Judy Collins with her beautiful version of “Turn, Turn, Turn”, and a fun diddy sung by Barbra Streisand heard in the Disney film, Pinocchio. We'll feature a request by a Neon Beat fan listening on KSGL in Wichita who passed along a great memory from the Three Suns. A song that became the theme song for Harold Ensley's show, “The Sportsman Friend”. More from Eydie Gorme, and Horst Jankowski. Enjoy the listen and Happy New Year tae ya!!
