The Neon Beat - 7.26.20

On the Neon Beat this week at M-xcloud.com: Rosemary Clooney slams into this hour with a rousing version of “Everything's Coming Up Roses.” Next we assemble the Mike Curb Congregation for the theme from a 1970's Clint Eastwood film. Enjoy a little Johnny Mathis with “quiet girl” as Johnny sings “What Will My Mary Say?” Listen to more great songs by the great period groups like The Four Freshmen, The Lettermen and Sergio Mendez with Brazil 66. We'll team up Art and Dotty Todd for their smash hit single, “Chanson D' Amour.” Hear Eydie Gorme's 1963 hit single backed by a group called The Cookies for “Blame it On the Bossa Nova” followed up with Tony Bennett singing “The Best is Yet to Come.” Crank up some period hit singles with Billy Williams 1957 hit record, “I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter.” Listen to Dinah Shore with a naughty-nice number called “It's So Nice to Have a Man Around the House,” and then we'll spin a Bert Kaempfert instrumental used as a theme for a daytime TV show called The Match Game. Turn the speaker up for Dean Martin backed by the EZ Riders for their 1956 hit song, “Memories are Made of This.” Frank Sinatra takes the stage next for some fine Cole Porter as Frank sings “I Get a Kick Out of You.” Then swing with some big band as Glen Gray does a Hi-Fi version of the Tommy Dorsey standard, “Song of India.” Don't forget, the shows we've already published at MixCloud are still there for you too.
