On The Neon Beat this week: Juke 1 one opens this week with some perky offerings beginning with Ray Charles with “Halleluja! I Love Her So,” followed with Perry Como's “Girl with the Golden Braids” and “Happy Heart” sung by Petula Clark. We'll fill a request this week for a little “Carpenters” doing a song written by Omaha, Nebraska native Paul Williams. Jukebox 2 launches with an enchanting rendition of “A Beautiful Friendship” by Ella Fitzgerald followed with Steve Lawrence's 1960 hit song, “Pretty Blue Eyes.” We'll light up the hop as we open Jukebox 3 with Nat King Cole's jazzy, “Send for Me” and do some swinging with Les Brown and his Band of Reknown. Get your “Frank Fix” with 3 songs by Sinatra. “I'll Be Seeing You”, “Learning the Blues”, and “Hidden Persuasion.” Listen for those great stage and film standards like a song from “Mame” by Sachmo, Johnny Mercer's “Accentuate The Positive” from “Here Come the Waves”, The Brothers Four with one from the film, “The Alamo” and a Hoagy Charmichael song from “Here Comes the Groom” sung by Rosemary Clooney. More with Jack Jones singing a song (intended for the film)” “Wives and Lovers”, Vikki Carr with a song from “Oklahoma”, Ray Anthony with the theme from “Peter Gunn,” and Bing Crosby with Louis Armstrong from “High Society” with a song called “Now You Has Jazz.” Turn up those fine period instrumentals with Walter Wanderley, Michel Legrand, Nelson Riddle, Jackie Gleason, Horst Jankowsky, Les Baxter, Al Hirt, and Leroy Anderson. Well pull some back-o'-the-rack songs you haven't heard in awhile sung by the Crew Cuts, Ivory Joe Hunter, Peggy Lee, Guy Mitchell, Julie London, and Georgie Fame. Much More!
