On the Neon Beat this week: We open the first Jukebox with a trip to the big easy with Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong as we head “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans.” We'll spin some great show tunes including Ella Fitzgerald with “Let Yourself Go,” Fred Astaire with an iconic song from “Top Hat,” Perry Como with Betty Hutton singing a song from “Guys and Dolls.” Hear a song from “Kiss Me Kate” sung by the Four Lads, a rousing song from Barbra Streisand's Broadway Album, the theme from “A Summer Place sung by The Lettermen, and we bring back the Four Lads for one from “West Side Story.” Juke 2 opens with a Dean Martin favorite, “Lay Some Happiness on Me.” We track more of our great Italian singers like Frank Sinatra singing “Witchcraft,” and Frank with Keely Smith doin' “How Ya Fixed for Love.” Tony Bennett sings a song about that “Toddlin' Town” with the Count Basie Orchestra and enjoy Vic Damone as he sings the song from the film “Laura.” Enjoy songs by the old pro's we know and love like Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Patti Page, Ray Charles and Dionne Warwick. Crank up the instrumentals with Henry Mancini, Ferrante and Teicher, John Williams and the Boston Pops, Leroy Anderson, and Hugh Masakela's “Grazing in the Grass.” Laugh a little with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby as they sing one from one of their famous “road movies”, “Put er' There Pal.” Lots, lots more.
