On The Neon Beat this week on Mixcloud: Ol' Dino launches into this hour of great memories with “Powder Your Face with Sunshine.” Then we assemble The Ames Brothers for a fine big band standard as they sing Tommy Dorsey's “Marie.” Eydie Gorme takes up the microphone next for “I'll Take Romance” followed by a song by the Tennessee plow boy. Eddy Arnold sings “The Tips of My Fingers.” Back from the break, our next segment leads off with Peggy Lee backed by an orchestra directed by Randy Newman, “Is That All There Is?” Then stand back for Count Basie's Orchestra backing Sammy Davis Jr for a steamy version of “She's a Woman.” Next, turn up Lena Horne for her signature version of the song, “Stormy Weather.” We'll bring back Count Basie recorded live in Vegas with Joe Williams singing “Smack Dab in the Middle.” Here more fine standards with the period artists we know and love like Tom Jones, Patti Page, and Tony Bennett who sings the lovely “Stranger in Paradise.” We'll remember the year 1968 with one of the biggest instrumental hits of all time by Paul Mauriat. We'll sweeten things up listening to The McGuire Sisters with their mid 50's signature hit song, “Sugartime” followed with a funny memory with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope from one of their “road movies.” More with The Statler Brothers, Michael Buble, and Louis Armstrong.
