The Neon Beat on Radio George - 4.8.19

On The Neon Beat this week: Some exciting pieces start out our first two Jukeboxes. Hang on to your hat as Juke 1 kicks off with Caterina Valente singing “The Breeze and I.” Juke 2 takes of f with, what was, the first big charting hit for Sir Tom Jones, “It's Not Unusual.” Juke 3 starts with a shiver getter called “All the Way,” sung by Frank Sinatra. Hear the great hitmaker groups like, The New Christy Minstrels with “Green Green,” The T Bones with a song used in the commercial imaging of Alka Seltzer, and The McGuire Sisters “Just for Old Times Sake.” More with the Four Preps as we remember that island of romance, and a little Brit invasion music from Chad and Jeremy. We'll spin those fine film, stage and Broadway favorites including Ed Ames with “My Cup Runneth Over,” Dean Martin's “Kick in the Head” from Oceans 11, Henry Mancini's orchestra with “the Baby Elephant Walk,” and the beautiful theme from “The Thornbirds.” Dionne Warwick sings the song from “Alfie.” Hear a lush rendition of “Lara's Theme” from Dr. Zhivago by James Last. We'll spin Tony Bennett's lovely version of the “Shadow of Your Smile” from The Sandpiper. Barbra Streisand sings a fun romp written by Mister Television. (Milton Berle) Nat King Cole remembers “Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer.” Frank Sinatra teams up with daughter Nancy for “Something Stupid.” Laugh a little with Allan Sherman's 1963 hit “Hello Mudduh, Hello Faddah.” Catch a little big sky western set with Frankie Laine, Marty Robbins, and Johnny Cash and a little folk music with Jimmy Dean, Peter Paul and Mary, and Trini Lopez. Records by Peggy Lee, Sam Cooke, Kitty Kallen, Robert Goulet and lots more. http://www.radiogeorge.com/neonbeat.htm
