On the Neon Beat Show 119R6: Pat Boone launches this hour with a theme from a film he starred in with actress Shirley Jones. Listen to Pat sing “April Love”. We'll track many more show tunes this hour including the keyboard team of Ferrante and Teicher playing the theme from “Antony and Cleopatra”, Vic Damone with a lovely song from “South Pacific,” Louis Armstrong with “Mame”, Glen Campbell with the theme from “True Grit” and the Lettermen with a tender song introduced by Fred Astaire in the film, “Swingtime”. We'll drop a needle on Frank Sinatra's smooth renditon of a fine Rod McKuen song called, “Love's Been Good to Me”. We'll spin hit songs of the 1960's like the Vogues with “Turn Around Look at Me” and Petula Clark with the charming “A Cat in the Window”, We'll even touch the early 1970's with what was Anne Murray's first big charting hit song, “Snowbird”. Catch Peggy Lee singing one of her many songs: “Alright, Ok, You Win”. Then, we'll bring back Peg with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby for “Merry Go Run Around” from the film “Road to Bali”. Listen to a song that, at the time, went down as the fastest selling record for Capitol records. Tennessee Ernie Ford with “16 Tons”. More “down home” type songs with Jimmie Dean and we'll light a shuck with Roy and Dale singing “Happy Trails”. More with Billie Holiday, and some great swing with Woody Herman and the Herd. Listen and enjoy.
