On the Neon Beat Show 88R6: Old Blue Eyes leads off this hour with a great standard. Listen to Frank Sinatra as he opens up with the song “Blue Moon” from his Swingin' Session album. Next, listen to a Peggy Lee standard right off Stagedoor Canteen as Peg sings, “Why Don't You Do Right?” Then listen and laugh with the great Phil Harris as we recall the courting possibilities behind the door at “44 Sycamore”. Glenn Miller's Orchestra takes it next with the hit song “Kalamazoo”. Our stage and film selections include Buddy Clark singing a Ziegfeld Follies standard called “Peg O' My Heart”. Rosemary Clooney performs a Judy Garland favorite from “The Harvey Girls”. We'll drop in a boob tube memory as we listen to the theme from “The Virginian”. We'll team up Bing Crosby with Louis Armstrong “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans.” Listen to jazz pianist Errol Garner with his great 1954 hit standard, “Misty” followed up with Johnny Mathis with his mega-hit song from 1957, “Chances Are” and Hugo Winterhalter with “Swinging Sweethearts”. We'll spin what was Engelbert Humperdinck's comeback hit in the late 1970's, “After the Loving” and a steamy version of “What is This Thing Called Love?” sung by bombshell Julie London. More with Kay Starr, The Anita Kerr Singers, and the smash hit for Claude King as we play “Wolverton Mountain”.
