The Neon Beat on Radio George - 1.1.19

On the Neon Beat this week: We’ll kick things off with a hit remake of a good old Paul Whiteman, Bing Crosby number from the 30’s redone by the Four Lads. Sing along with their 1953 hit song, “Istanbul.” You’ll hear other great period groups like The Ames Brothers, The Four Freshmen, The Hi Lo’s, The McGuire Sisters and The Seekers. Enjoy fine instrumental and orchestral hit songs with Raymond Lefevre’s “Soul Coaxing,” Percy Faith with the iconic film hit, “The Theme From A Summer Place,” Herb Alpert’s “Theme from Casino Royale,” Henry Mancini with the “Theme from Brian’s Song,” and the “Love theme from One Eyed Jacks” performed by Ferrante and Teicher. Lots of film and stage favorites this week including Motown’s Diana Ross with the tender theme from “Mahogany,” Victor Young’s “Around the World,” Perry Como with a song from “South Pacific,” Dean Martin’s “That’s Amore” from the Martin and Lewis movie “The Caddy,” and the great Mario Lanza singing a song heard in the 1951 film, “The Great Caruso.” More great listening with Frank Sinatra’s “Young at Heart,” and Nat King Cole with a Fats Waller standard. Songs with Doris Day, Connie Francis, Dennis Day, Andy Williams, Johnny Mathis and lots, lots more.
