On the Neon Beat Show 90R6: We'll launch this hour with a male group from Ohio that spanned an eighty year career. The Mills Brothers open this set with “The Glow Worm”. Tony Bennett grabs the microphone next for his hit song “The Good Life” followed by singer and actress Doris Day with a song heard in the 1955 film “Love Me or Leave Me”. Then we'll do some swinging with Benny Goodman doing a popular Johnny Mercer song, “Goody Goody!” Catch a set with Sinatra singing an ol' Les Brown favorite, “How Bout You?” Louis Prima and Keely Smith with “That Old Black Magic” and Peggy Lee with “Baubles Bangles and Beads.” Hear, what was, Lawrence Welk's only top ten pop hit song as the orchestra and chorus does their 1961 hit song, “Calcutta”. Next enjoy The Andrews Sisters with “Rum and Coca Cola” followed with Bing Crosby with a fine old Cole Porter standard. Listen to Barbra Streisand with a snappy selection from “Funny Girl” and one by Nat King Cole displaying his multilingual skill as he croons the song, “Darling Je Vous Aime Beaucoup”. Listen to songs by the Lettermen. Tony Martin, and crank up that speaker for Phil Spector's “Wall of Sound” as we hear The Crystals with their 1963 hit song, “Then He Kissed Me”. More with Nelson Riddle with a classic TV theme, The Mitch Miller Gang, and Melissa Manchester with a fine treatment of some great Gershwin music. Turn up. You like.
