Neon Beat on Radio George - 11.26.18

On The Neon Beat this week: Life is a Cabaret old chum! The Marvelous Marilyn Maye kicks off the series this week on Jukebox 1. We’ll track records with the artists we know and love like Frank Sinatra singing “South of the Border.” Tony Bennett’s “Just in Time,” along with hits by Dean Martin, and Connie Francis. We’ll team up Bing Crosby with his son Gary for “Sam’s Song.” Enjoy fine film, Broadway and boob tube selections with Nat King Cole singing “The Ballad of Cat Ballou,” actress Judy Garland with “I Got Rhythm,” Henry Mancini’s “Mr. Lucky,” and Doris Day singing “Lullaby of Broadway.” More with Harry Nilsson from “Midnight Cowboy,” Margaret Whiting with a song from “South Pacific” and Percy Faith with the beautiful “Theme from “Moulin Rouge.” We’ll spin great period instrumentals with Acker Bilk’s tender, “Stranger on the Shore,” and Al Hirt’s rousing version of “Java.” We’ll take to the dance floor with the “Belle of the Ball” by Leroy Anderson. Listen to Kenny Ball’s across the pond hit, “Midnight in Moscow,” and Errol Garner’s period standard, “Misty.” More hit songs with Kay Starr, Johnny Mathis, Elvis, The Four Lads with a Frank Loesser hit and Ella Fitzgerald with a great Cole Porter selection. Lot’s, lot’s more. Grab that mouse. Go to: http://www.radiogeorge.com/neonbeat/
