On this special extended edition of the Neon Beat for Mixcloud: We open with the song that put this Texas dance instructor on the map. Listen to Mary Martin singing, “My Heart Belongs to Daddy”. We follow up with a Cole Porter song from Kiss Me Kate sung by the Four Lads, “Why Can't You Behave”. Enjoy a hit record by The Seekers as they sing “A World of Our Own”. Turn up some good music with some of our great Italian singers like Bobby Darin, Al Martino, Frankie Avalon, Tony Bennett and Louis Prima. Our fine instrumental offerings include songs by Walter Wanderley on the Hammond B3 with “A Summer Samba,” Jerry Murad and his Harmonicats with “Peg of My Heart” and the great one: Jackie Gleason with a luxurious version of the song “Autumn Leaves”. We'll team up actress Judy Garland with Gene Kelly for an MGM film favorite, “For Me and My Gal.” We'll drop a needle on actress Debbie Reynolds for a pleasant albeit petulant version of the song “S'posin”. Listen to a requested hit record with Sam Cooke doing one of his 1960 hit songs, “Wonderful World”. More with Helen Reddy, Rick Nelson, and Anita Bryant.
