The Neon Beat on Radio George - 1.21.19

On the Neon Beat this week: We launch Juke 1 with a 1957 hit for Jill Corey. A sprite little chart topper called, “Love Me To Pieces.” Juke 2, we pour ourselves a cuppa java with Frank Sinatra singing “The Coffee Song.” Juke 3 sets sail with Roger Whittaker's lovely, “The Last Farewell.” Hear the hits of stage, film and boob tube like Maureen McGovern with the theme from “The Posiden Aventure,” Dean Martin with his hit song from “The Caddy,” Ferrante and Teicher with the love theme from “The Apartment,” and The Four Aces with “Three Coins in the Fountain.” More film music with Henry Mancini's iconic “Moon River,” and Tom Jones with the theme from the James Bond film, “Thunderball.” Hear the great women of song like Ella Fitzgerald singing, “I'll Take Manhattan,” Barbra Streisand's “A Kid Again,” KC's own Marilyn May with her rousing signature hit, “Step to the Rear,” Dionne Warwick with “Walk on By,” Kay Starr's jazzy version of “Slow Boat to China” from an album considered to be one of her best, and a 1964 chart hit and a Grammy award winner for the late Nancy Wilson. We'll spin hits by Andy Williams, Perry Como, Al Martino, the Platters, The Lettermen, Jerry Vale, Shelly Fabares and lots more. Dig the period instrumentals with Lawrence Welk's “Calcutta,” Bill Pursell's beautiful, “Winter Love,” Cliff Nobels with “The Horse,” Jimmy Dorsey with his 1957 hit, “So Rare” and The T-Bones with a hit song used in a TV commercial for Alka Seltzer.
