The Neon Beat on Radio George - 3.5.19

On The Neon Beat this week: We launch this week's musical faire with Tony Bennett singing “The Best is Yet to Come” on Jukebox 1. Doris Day follows with her snappy 1958 hit song, “Everybody Loves a Lover.” We'll spin a 1960's hit song called “Sunday Morning” performed by Spanky and Our Gang. Hear more fine group standards sung by The Fortunes, The Chordettes, Ruby and the Romantics, The Kingston Trio, and Don Gant with the Neon Philharmonic. Listen to Broadway and film favorites with Frank Sinatra singing “New York, New York,” Tom Jones with “What's New Pussycat,” Jerry Goldsmith's “The Theme from Patton,” Denver's Dianne Reeves with a song from “Good Night and Good Luck,” Andy Williams sings “The Love Theme from the Godfather,” Henry Mancini's Orchestra with “The Pink Panther theme,” and the iconic Dooley Wilson playing a song from “Casablanca.” Hear swinging songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Kay Starr. Our instrumental sauce and pickle includes the lovely “Cast Your Fate to the Wind” by Sounds Orchestral, “The Bourbon Street Parade” with Al Hirt, Al Cailoa's “The Theme from Bonanza,” Leroy Anderson's “The Sycopated Clock,” “Walk Dont Run” by the Ventures, “A Taste of Honey” with Herb Alpert and the TJB, and a swing era Tommy Dorsey number called “Opus One.” We'll track a couple by Nat King Cole: “LOVE” and “That Sunday That Summer.” Catch Helen O'Connell with her signature standard, “Green Eyes,” Peggy Lee's rousing “Come Back to Me,” and the sultry Julie London with an amorous rendition of “Black Coffee.” More from Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, Arlo Guthrie and More!
