On the Neon Beat this week: Kay Starr opens Juke 1 as we board “A Slow Boat to China.” Vaughn Monroe follows with his signature standard “Racing with the Moon.” Listen for film, Broadway and stage selections like Cole Porter's “I Get a Kick Out of You” sung by Ella Fitzgerald.” Hear Sammy Davis Jr. with his stunning version of “What Kind of Fool Am I?” from Stop the World I Want to Get Off. Vic Damone sings a song from “Pal Joey,” Patti Page sings a steamy number from “the Pajama Game,” Barbra Streisand belts out a romp from “Funny Girl,” The Four Freshmen perform a standard from “The Harvey Girls,” Sarah Vaughan sings a song from “Damn Yankees,” and Dinah Shore sings one from a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby film called “The Paleface.” Tom Jones launches into Juke 2 with “Daughter of Darkness.” We'll go back to 1958 for Frank Sinatra's “Come Fly With Me.” Also hear Frank's “The Wee Small Hours” and “My Way.” Catch songs by the great period groups like The Four Lads, The Ames Brothers, Bowling Green, Kentucky's The Hilltoppers, The Mills Brothers, The Four Preps and The Ink Spots with a great Duke Ellington standard. Instrumental hits abound with Perez Prado's “Patricia,” Spencer Ross with a theme from The Philidelphia Story, George Shearing, Si Zentner's rousing rendition of “Up a Lazy River,” and Billy Vaughn's beautful “Look for a Star.” Listen and swing with Glen Gray's version of “In The Mood,” and hear Benny Goodman's take on “Moonglow.”Lots, lots more.
