The Neon Beat - 6.7.20 (1)
On the Neon Beat on M-x Cloud- Show 04r6: We slam into this session with a light hearted song of redemption with Patti Page singing “Cross Over the Bridge.” Next stroll hand-in-hand with Nat King Cole with the song, “Walking My Baby Back Home.” Listen to Frank Sinatra croon a popular mood song called, “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.” Those great period instrumentals just keep coming with Omaha's Roger Williams playing the theme from “Born Free,” Les Baxter with “The Poor People of Paris,” Arthur Ferrante and Louis Tiecher with “The Theme from Lawrence of Arabia,” and Nashville's own Floyd Cramer is at the keyboard for “The Theme from Dallas.” Crank up a little ear candy with actress Marilyn Monroe with a steamy rendition of “You'd Be Surprised.” Listen to hit records by our great singin' paisanos like Dean Martin with “I'd Cry Like a Baby,” Perry Como with “Dreamer's Holiday,” and Tony Bennett with the “Blvd of Broken Dreams.” More with Johnny Mathis, The Brothers Four, and Eddie Cantor with a fun version of “Making Whoopie.” Much mo. Enjoy!
