On the Neon Beat Show 97r3mx: Quite the superstar list and sauced and pickled with some eclectic selections. Including a showcase piece of the remarkable vocal ranges of one alleged Incan princess named Yma Sumac. We open with Dean Martin with “Send Me the Pillow You Dream On” followed up with Bing Crosby and his son Gary doing “Sam's Song”. Enjoy a number of theatre and film pieces with Matt Monro singing the theme from “Laura”, Margaret Whiting singing a song from “South Pacific”, Dionne Warwick with a Burt Bacharach song, and Ed Ames with a powerful rendition of a song from “Man of La Mancha”. Listen to an early 1950's hit song by Nat King Cole, “Nature Boy”. We'll team up Nancy Sinatra with Lee Hazelwood for the song “Jackson”. Enjoy some fine instrumental selections with Glen Gray's Casa Loma Orchestra doing a Tommy Dorsey swing standard, Bent Fabric with the old roller-rink standard, “Alley Cat”, and the orchestra of John Barry closing with the stirring performance of “The John Dunbar Theme” from Dances with Wolves. Doris Day does a bawdy rendition of a number based on an old Brit ale-house song. More with Gogi Grant, Mel Torme, Connie Francis, Stan Getz, and Harry Belafonte. Fire up the Hi-Fi. Here we go.
