On the Neon Beat (show 60R6) We open this hour with a song frequently associated with the Christmas holiday given it's from a film that airs on network television at Christmas. Listen to Tony Bennett with his jazzy version of the song, “My Favorite Things”. Listen to more nice stage and film songs this hour including Dionne Warwick with her bouncy version of “Promises Promises”, The Montovani Orchestra with Victor Young's, “Around the World”, and Andy Williams with “The Days of Wine and Roses”. More film and theatre with the Henry Mancini Orchestra with “The Pink Panther Theme” Vic Damone with a lovely rendition of a song from “South Pacific” and Andre Previn with a lovely version for piano and orchestra of the theme from “Gigi”. Enjoy what was a surprise hit song during a time of rock n' roll and hair bands as Roger Whittaker sings “The Last Farewell”. Listen to Barbra Streisand's 1970 chart topper, “Stoney End” followed with a hit version of an old standard as Vic Dana sings “Red Roses for a Blue Lady”. Follow along (if ya can) with a funny switch-around piece by Dinah Shore called “Sweet Violets” and laugh with Phil Harris as he recommends “44 Sycamore” for a romantic hookup. Catch a lively jazzy rendition of “Bill Bailey” by Bobby Darin followed by Jo Stafford doing a Broadway number called “The Gentleman is a Dope.” Hear a sweet song from 1957 sung by Patti Page called “I'll Remember Today” followed with the Les Baxter Orchestra with “April in Portugal.” More with Jack Jones with “Call Me Irresponsible” and big daddy Burl Ives with “Call Me Mister In Between”.
