The Neon Beat - 6.7.20 (2)
On the Neon Beat on Mx-Cloud- Show 03r6: We begin this hour with a salsa treatment of the song “Sway” sung by Rosemary Clooney backed by Perez Prado's Orchestra. The Four Lads take it next with a toe-tappin' version of a song from “Gypsy” followed up with Bobby Darin's signature 1959 chart topper, “Mack the Knife.” Hear a James Bond set with Shirley Bassie from “Diamonds are Forever” and Matt Monro with the theme from “From Russia With Love.” Enjoy a big band selection with Harry James performing a swing standard called, “The Mole.” Hear more great instrumentals with Herb Alpert and the TJB with “Taste of Honey,” Horst Jankowski's sweeping 1966 favorite “Walk in the Black Forest,” and Henry Mancini's “Mister Lucky.” More with Frank Sinatra doin' a folk song called “Cycles,” actress Debbie Reynolds with a charming petulant rendition of the song “S'posin,” and a Paul Simon standard sung by Harpers Bazaar. More with Sammy Davis Jr, Jo Stafford, Johnny Tillotson, and Steve Lawrence. Listen now.
