Neon Beat on Radio George - 12.3.18

On The Neon Beat this week: We open this week’s offerings with “Sonny Boy” as the 1950’s crooner takes on the new sound called “rock n’ roll,” with the song “Dungaree Doll.” We follow Eddie with a little pillow talk with Dean Martin. Then hear the iconic soulful song, “At Last” by Etta James. Listen to music of the stage and silver screen with a couple of songs from “Sound of Music” with Tony Bennett and Julie Andrews. More show tunes with Nat King Cole doing “The Continental,” Ella Fitzgerald singing “From this Moment On,” and Andy Williams with a selection from “State Fair.” Hear Petula Clark with a lovely song written by actor Charlie Chaplin. Listen to several selections with Frank Sinatra, one in particular involving a fun little Cole Porter ditty Frank performed with Rosemary Clooney. Listen to a passionate offering by Sam Cooke, “Nothing Can Change Our Love.” Laugh a little with writer and TV producer Allan Sherman with his famous “Letter from Summer Camp.” Instrumentals abound with selections from Bert Kaempfert’s Orchestra, Nelson Riddle, Al Hirt, Frankie Yankovic with the good ol’ “Beer Barrel Polka,” and David Benoit’s jazzy rendition of “The Charlie Brown Theme” More with Bing Crosby, Patti Page, The McGuire Sisters, Lou Rawls, Bette Midler and even a little Jim Croce.
