On the Neon Beat Show 62R3r: We open this session with a major chart hit both in the US and the UK in 1965. Listen to the Toys, with “A Lover's Concerto”. We follow up the Toys with a film hit sung by The Mike Curb Congregation from a Clint Eastwood movie. Here more great period groups like The Four Lads, The Everly Brothers, and a requested classic by The Sons of the Pioneers. We'll spin a song written by actor Charlie Chaplin sung by Nat King Cole. Bing Crosby sings another film song from Around the World in 80 days. Listen to Ella Fitzgerald with an amorous Cole Porter song followed up with yet another movie selection performed by Frank Sinatra. We'll track some fine period instrumentals including Kai Winding's “More”, Raymond Lefevre with an orchestral take on a Godspell song, and the theme from the award winning film “Patton” by the BBC Concert Orchestra. Listen to Petula Clark with “I Know a Place”, Bobby Vinton's “Blue on Blue”, Al Martino with “Spanish Eyes”, and Elvis Presley with “It's Now or Never”. More with Jo Stafford, Roy Orbison, and Robert Goulet. Tune in for a full hour of the songs we know and love.
