On the Neon Beat this week: We lead into the new year with a mid 50's phenom for whom NBC TV's Dave Garroway picked her show name out of a phone book. Jill Corey opens Jukebox 1 with her 1957 hit song, “Love Me to Pieces.” Roger Whittaker takes it next with “New World in the Morning.” (It is Roger doing the whistling) Then hear Jo Stafford with a lovely panoramic song called, “Suddenly There's a Valley.” Juke 2 launches with “The Coffee Song” by Frank Sinatra leading directly into the rousing “Step to the Rear” by the Marvelous Marilyn Maye. We bring back Roger Whittaker to open Juke 3 with his beautiful mid 70s hit song, “The Last Farewell” followed with a 1950's film theme by the Four Aces, “Three Coins in the Fountain.” Listen to more great show tunes with Maureen McGovern's “The Morning After” from “The Poseidon Adventure,” Dean Martin's “That's Amore” from “The Caddy,” Ferrante and Teicher with the love theme from “The Apartment,” Henry Mancini's Orchestra with “Moon River” and Tom Jones with the theme from “Thunderball.” Enjoy hit songs by the fine period groups like The Platters, The Rooftop Singers, Chad and Jeremy, The Lettermen, Peter and Gordon, and a period TV commercial theme for Alka Seltzer by The T-Bones. Hear Patsy Cline's “Walking After Midnight,” Perry Como with “Magic Moments,' Barbra Streisand's “A Kid Again” from her 1964 TV special, “Bye Bye Blues” by Andy Williams, Al Martino with “Volare,” and Nancy Wilson with her Grammy award winner, “How Glad I Am.” Great songs by Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Tony Bennett with the lovely Diana Krall and more.Listen now at: http://www.radiogeorge.com/neonbeat/NB-Hour1.htm And Happy New Year!!
