On the Neon Beat this week: Frank Sinatra launches Juke 1 with the kids singing, “High Hopes.” Then we get “Smack Dab in the Middle with the Mills Brothers and follow that up with a Cole Porter selection by Ella Fitzgerald. Juke 2 begins with two film and Broadway selections starting with Dean Martin with the Four Lads singing “Standing on the Corner” and Perry Como with Betty Hutton with a song from “Guys and Dolls.” Jukebox 3 takes off with Petula Clark's “Don't Sleep in the Subway”, followed up with a greeting from the staff here: That would be Eileen Barton's signature song “If I Knew You Were Coming I'd have Baked a Cake.” Catch another Frank favorite as he sings “Young at Heart.” Instrumentals abound this week with the beautiful “Ebb Tide” by Frank Chacksfield, Andre Previn's jazzy “Like Young,” Leroy Anderson with “Promenade,” a Victor Young film standard, “Around the World”, Nashville's Floyd Cramer with “Last Date”, and Ferrante and Teicher with a rousing version of “Temptation.” We'll spin more period film and stage favorites with the Sandpipers, Dusty Springfield, Bing Crosby, Rosemary and Betty Clooney, and Jo Stafford. Sing along with Nat King Cole's 1962 fav, “Rambling Rose.” Get your big band fix with Louis Prima, Harry James, and Glen Gray. More with the period hit makers like Jerry Wallace, Dionne Warwick, Glen Campbell, Patti Page, Tony Bennett, Wayne Newton and the Chordettes. Lots more.
