On the Neon Beat Show- Remembering Connie Francis. We open with the song that was Connie's first breakthrough hit record. “Who's Sorry Now”. After which we proceed with more great songs of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Listen to Wilbert Harrison with the song about that great city of fountains: “Kansas City”. Vikki Carr follows up with the song, “Can't Take My Eyes off of You.” Hear the great period groups this hour such as the Lettermen, the McGuire Sisters, and the Brother's Four singing a song from the 1960 John Wayne film “The Alamo”. We'll play more Connie Francis hit songs, “Everyone is Someone's Fool”, “Quando, Quando, Quando”, and :the theme from Where the Boys Are.” Listen to the fine instrumental selections like the swingin' Glen Gray version of “the King Porter Stomp”' Lawrence Welk with “Bubbles in the Wine”, and Leroy Anderson's “Promenade.” We'll spin songs performed by some more of our Italian hitmakers of the day, Tony Bennett with “Love Look Away,” Frankie Laine with “Waiting at the end of the Road”, and Dean Martin with “I'd Cry Like a Baby.” We'll team up Bette Midler with good friend Barry Manilow for a old Peggy Lee hit song, “I Love Being Here with You”. Then we'll play Peggy Lee with Benny Goodman singing a song from the film “Stagedoor Canteen”. Much more with Ray Charles, Debbie Reynolds, British crooner Matt Monro, and Merrillee Rush and the Turnabouts. Listen and enjoy.
