On the Neon Beat Show 23r3: This installment of TNB opens with an old Duke Ellington standard sung here by Nat King Cole. “Don't Get Around Much Anymore”. The Mills Brothers take the stage next for “Cielito Lindo.” We squeeze in some great big band with Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra doing a great Woody Herman standard. Hear Bobby Darin with a swingin' version of “I Got Rhythm”. Eydie Gorme follows with her 1963 hit song, “Blame it on the Bossa Nova” backed up by a period female singing group called, “The Cookies”. Listen to more fine female talent with record singles by Rosemary Clooney, Dusty Springfield, Petula Clark and Patti Page. We team up Frank Sinatra with his daughter Nancy for “Something Stupid”. Listen to Paul McCartney do a song that is considered to be one of the Beatles finest. More great songs with Johnny Mathis singing “Small World”, Bobby Vinton, with “There I've Said it Again” and Elvis with “Don't Be Cruel.” And of course, gotta have our instrumental content with Walter Wanderley on the Hammond B3, Bert Kaempfert with his 1961 hit song, “Wonderland by Night” and Raymond Lefevre's “Soul Coaxing”.Give a listen at: https://www.mixcloud.com/theneon.../the-neon-beat-show-23r3/ Left to Right: Joe Dimino (Neon Jazz) John Christopher (The Neon Beat)
