On the Neon Beat this week on Mixcloud: Tony Bennett goes “From Rags to Riches” as we open this hour's selection of great American standards. The McGuire Sisters take it next with a number from the Fred Astaire film “Daddy Long Legs.” Hear many more stage, film, and TV offerings with Lalo Schifrin's “Theme from Mission Impossible.” Hear Henry Mancini's Orchestra with the lovely theme from “The Thornbirds.” Vic Damone sings a great standard from “My Fair Lady,” Ferrante and Teicher man the duo keyboards for the theme from “Midnight Cowboy.” And we'll remember Dick Clark's American Bandstand as Barry Manilow performs his own “Bandstand Boogie.” Enjoy hit songs by the fine period groups like The Vogues, The Carpenters, and The Ames Brothers. Enjoy another film hit song from a 1965 Steve McQueen movie “Baby the Rain Must Fall” sung by Glenn Yarbrough. Listen to a one hit wonder pairing of Nino Tempo and April Stevens for their hit song, “Deep Purple” followed up with Tommy Edwards for his biggest hit song, “It's All in the Game.” We'll experience a little “Deja Vu” with Dionne Warwick. More great songs with Michael Buble, Eydie Gorme, and Georgia Gibbs. We'll wrap up the hour with a fine Leroy Anderson composition called “The Typewriter Song.” (Could you still change a ribbon?)
