On the Neon Beat this week: We start the series on Juke 1 with a theatre standard sung by Rosemary Clooney, “April in Paris.” Throughout the shows you'll hear more great film and stage with Ella Fitzgerald singing a song from “Kiss Me Kate,” Vic Damone with a song from “West Side Story,” The Four Lads with a Frank Loesser standard from “A Most Happy Fellow,” Connie Francis with “Embraceable You,” Glen Campbell with the theme from “True Grit,” and Louis Armstrong with “Hello Dolly.” Eartha Kitt performs a song from a 1952 review called “New Faces” that got her named the most exciting woman in the world by Orson Wells. Nat King Cole croons a lovely song heard in the 1951 film, “Anna.” Hear BJ Thomas with a Burt Bacharach/Hal David song from “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” We'll team up Bob Hope and Bing Crosby for one of their rowdy songs from one of their “Road Movies.” We'll spin a funny tate-a-tate between Bing Crosby and actress Judy Garland. Enjoy a 1961 movie theme by Frank Sinatra called “Pocketful of Miracles.” We'll spin Tony Bennett's “Rags to Riches,” and “Because of You.” Crank up the great period pop hits sung by the groups we remember such as “The Poni Tails,” The Four Lads, the Beatles, The Mills Brothers, The Fifth Dimension, The Ames Brothers, Herman's Hermits, and Dion and the Belmonts. Hear More with Vic Dana. (literally) We'll spin records with Al Martino, Jo Stafford, Eydie Gorme, Patti Page, Andy Williams, and actress Marilyn Monroe. Lotz more!
