On the Neon Beat this week uploaded to Mixcloud: Caterina Valente' storms onto the stage with an old Xavier Cugat standard that showcases the woman's tremendous range. Listen to Caterina as we open with “The Breeze and I.” Then, smoke em' if ya got em' as Frank Sinatra takes the mic for a little “Learnin' of the Blues.” Enjoy a lovely rendition of a song formerly known as “Limelight” as Sarah Vaughan performs this lovely melody with the lyric, “Eternally.” Listen to Al Martino with a sentimental favorite, “I Love You Because” followed up a “steamy” Broadway number sung by Patti Page from “the Pajama Game.” We'll track more stage and film selections with Dinah Washington singing one from “Guys and Dolls,” Robert Goulet with a fun little number from the movie “Little Me,” Petula Clark with a lovely Charlie Chaplin song he wrote for his film “Countess From Hong Kong,” and Henry Mancini with his razzy, mischievous, “ Theme from The Pink Panther.” We'll bring back Dinah Washington and team her up with Brook Benton for a fun tate-a-tate called “Baby, You've Got What it Takes.” Hear Nat King Cole with a 1957 rock-a-jazzy hit song called, “Send for Me.” Catch a set starting with Bobby Darin's swingin' version of “I Got Rhythm,” Billie Holiday with the song, “All Of Me” and “Kisses Sweeter than Wine” by Jimmie Rodgers. More with the Four Knights, Moe Koffman, and literally “More” (the song) with singer Vic Dana.
