CD2 opens with Bobby Darin’s legendary ‘Beyond The Sea’ with more easy-listening Jukebox selections from Astrud Gilberto & Walter Wanderley, Chris Montez, and Andy Williams’ ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’ following. Roy Orbison’s ageless ‘In Dreams’ continues a spectacular run of tracks including from Shirley Bassey (‘Kiss Me Honey Honey’), Doris Day (‘Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps’), and Brenda Lee (‘Break It To Me Gently’). Julie London’s ‘Cry Me A River’ is a true standard, as are ‘At Last’ from Etta James and ‘You Belong To Me’ from Jo Stafford. Perry Como, Bobby Vinton, and Pat Boone bring romantic hits with ‘Magic Moments’, ‘Roses Are Red (My Love)’, and ‘Love Letters In The Sand’. Neil Sedaka’s ‘Calendar Girl’, and The Marcels’ #1‘Blue Moon’, begins this discs’ wind-down as it closes with two iconic artists with signature tracks: Dionne Warwick’s stunning ‘Don’t Make Me Over’ and Mama Cass’s beautiful ‘Dream A Little Dream Of Me’.

Opening CD3 is one of the all-time greatest jukebox anthems ‘You Don’t Own Me’ by Lesley Gore, followed by a run of pop-angst love songs from Connie Stevens, Little Eva, The Crystals and The Shangri-Las…Next up, a run of rock n roll greats - Dion & The Belmonts’ ‘I Wonder Why’, along with ‘Why Do Lovers Break Each Others Hearts?’ and ‘Why Do Fools Fall In Love’.
