On the Neon Beat this week at Mixcloud: Hugo Winterhalter and his RCA Orchestra kick off this week's upload with a Leroy Anderson composition as we do the “Blue Tango.” Barbra Streisand follows Hugo with a hit song that she bet would never make the top 10. (Charting on Billboard at number six 12-12-1970) Next we go “Swinging of a Rainbow” with Philly's own Frankie Avalon. Turn up hit songs by some of the great period groups like The Chordettes with “Lollipop,” The Four Lads with “Istanbul not Constantinople.” The war time bombshells, namely, The Andrews Sisters, sing “I Can Dream Can't I?” and the Mills Brothers heat things up with “I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm.” Hear a heart tugging version of “September Song” sung by the great Jimmy Durante. We'll remember the year 1951 with a top charting hit by G.I. Jo Stafford called “Shrimp Boats.” Next, a Rat Pack set with Frank Sinatra from his Swinging Session LP and Dean Martin turnin' on the waterworks for the song “I'd Cry Like a Baby.” Nat King Cole sings, “Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer” followed up with Michel Legrand's Orchestra performing the David Rose standard, “Holiday For Strings..” We'll team up Bing Crosby with good friend Rosemary Clooney as we “Go to the Mardis Gras.” Listen to Patti Page with a sentimental standard, “Mockingbird Hill,” Enjoy a film favorite with Felix Slatkin directing the orchestra for the theme from “The Sundowners.” More with Louis Armstrong, Ralph Flanagan and Eddie Fisher.” Some good listening kids!
