The Neon Beat - 7.3.21

 On The Neon Beat (Show 53R6)  Paul Anka begins this hour with his 1968 hit song, “Goodnight My Love.”  Barbra Streisand is next with a Fanny Brice number from “Funny Girl” as she sings “Second Hand Rose.”  Hear more great stage and theatre with Tony Bennett's lovely rendition of a song from “The Sandpiper”, Ella Fitzgerald with a Cole Porter standard from the production of “Paris”, and Kansas City's own Marilyn Maye sings an amorous number from “Kismet”.  Hear fine period selections from the popular groups of the day like The Mills Brothers and The McGuire Sisters.  Soul singer Brook Benton checks out of Heartbreak Hotel into “Hotel Happiness”.  Catch some tunes from Rat Packers Dean Martin with “Houston”, and Frank Sinatra with “I've Got the World on a String.”  Then we head on out to the Big Apple for Mister Jerry Costanzo for a fine performance of an old Sinatra cover, “Can I Steal a Little Love.”  We'll play Nat King Cole with a good ol' Duke Ellington standard.  We'll team up Bing Crosby with his son Gary for “Play a Simple Melody” followed with Peggy Lee with “Too Close for Comfort.”  More with Andy Williams, Louis Armstrong, and Dick Haymes.  Enjoy!
