On the Neon Beat this week: We open Jukebox 1 with a pop/country single by a 1950's hitmaker named Jimmie Rodgers with “Uh Oh, I'm Falling in Love Again.” Then Nat King Cole takes the mic with the Ralph Carmichael Chorus with the charming song “All Over the World.” Juke 2 opens with a smashing vocal version of Dave Brubeck's “Take 5” sung by The Marvelous Marilyn Maye. Benny Goodman makes the big band invitation to cut-a-rug with “Let's Dance” followed up with Frank Sinatra singing, “Too Marvelous For Words.” We'll kick off Jukebox 3 with two great singing paisanos beginning with Dean Martin's 1965 hit song, “Lay Some Happiness on Me” and Mario Lanza with a movie favorite, “The Loveliest Night of the Year.” Hear more great theatre and film selections with Tony Bennett singing “Once Upon a Time,” Ella Fitzgerald with “Let Yourself Go” from the 1936 musical “Follow the Fleet,” and her steamy version of “Too Darned Hot” from “Kiss me Kate.” Hear more stage and film with Perry Como singing “Bali Hai,” Percy Faith's “Theme from A Summer Place”, and the Four Lads with a song from “Gypsy.” Hear the dual keyboards of Ferrante and Teicher with a rendition of the theme from “Exodus.” Enjoy the Henry Mancini orchestra and chorus with “Darling Lili,” and the lovely Leslie Uggams with a song from “Hallelujah Baby.” (by request) More with the hit makers of the day including Tom Jones, Ray Charles, Rick Nelson, Peggy Lee, Lenny Welch, Dionne Warwick and the Brit group, The Tremeloes. We'll be spinnin' those instrumental hits with Perez Prado, Acker Bilk, Horst Jankowski's “Walk in the Black Forest,” and Floyd Cramer's “Theme From Dallas.”Enjoy now at: http://www.radiogeorge.com/neonbeat/NB-Hour1.htm
