Tonight, the guitar becomes our guide through The Great American Songbook.

You’ll hear the elegance of Joe Pass, the unmistakable sounds of Wes Montgomery and George Benson, the rhythmic foundation of Freddie Green, and special collaborations including Barbra Streisand with John Mayer and Tony Bennett with B.B. King.

Some guitars will take the solo. Others will make the singer sound even better. Every one of them serves the song.

Join me tonight from 7–9 p.m. Central on 92.7 FM WVLI or listen at wvli927.com.

A special invitation to guitar students, teachers and local musicians:

Sunday night’s Great American Songbook will demonstrate the many ways a guitar can serve the music—keeping time, supplying harmony, answering a vocal phrase, creating an atmosphere and stepping forward for a memorable solo.

Whether you play jazz, blues, rock, country or popular music, there is something to learn from hearing how these outstanding guitarists listen, respond and accompany.

Pay attention to what they play—and just as importantly, what they choose not to play.

When you hear a great guitarist, what catches your attention first—the solo or the way the guitar supports the singer?

This Sunday’s Great American Songbook will explore both sides of the instrument: guitarists stepping into the spotlight and guitarists quietly providing the rhythm, harmony and accompaniment that make a recording complete.

Who is one guitarist whose playing always makes you stop and listen?

This Sunday, The Great American Songbook has strings attached.

Throughout the history of American popular music, the guitar has played many roles. It can provide the rhythm, support a singer, fill the spaces between phrases or step forward with an unforgettable solo.

Sunday night, we’ll listen closely to Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Freddie Green, Oscar Moore, B.B. King, John Mayer and other remarkable guitarists. You’ll also hear the guitar accompanying great singers, including Barbra Streisand, Tony Bennett and Nat King Cole.

Sometimes the guitar will command the spotlight. At other times, its greatest contribution will be how beautifully it serves the song.

Great songs. Great singers. Listen for the guitar.

Tonight at 7 PM Central, I’ll be on the air with a special Great American Songbook program:

Tony Bennett at 100 — 28 Must-Play Recordings

Two hours of great songs, great stories, and one unforgettable voice.

Small fact: Tony Bennett’s duet “Body and Soul” with Amy Winehouse became her final recording, and later won a Grammy.

If you enjoy this music, invite one friend to listen along tonight.

Wherever Sunday night finds you, I hope you’ll join me at 7 PM Central.

28 Must-Play Recordings

From “Because of You” and “Rags to Riches” to “The Good Life,” “The Way You Look Tonight,” and more, tonight’s program is a celebration of one of the true masters of the Great American Songbook.

Small fact: Tony Bennett’s 1994 MTV Unplugged album won Album of the Year at the Grammys — proof that these songs still connected with a new generation.

Hope you’ll join me tonight.

Tomorrow night’s Great American Songbook is built around a simple idea:

If you had to choose 28 Tony Bennett recordings that really help tell his story, which ones would they be?

That’s what I’ll be exploring Sunday night from 7–9 PM Central.

Small fact: Tony Bennett’s signature song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco,” won the Grammy for Record of the Year in 1963.

I hope you’ll spend part of your Sunday evening with me.

09/12/2026

Tomorrow night on Randy King – The Great American Songbook, I’ll be celebrating Tony Bennett at 100 with 28 must-play recordings from one of the great voices of American popular music.

We’ll hear the early hits, the signature songs, timeless standards, and a few later collaborations that helped carry this music to a new generation.

Small fact: Tony Bennett was born August 3, 1926, so 2026 marks his centennial year.

Join me Sunday night, 7–9 PM Central.
