The Three Suns - Let´s Dance with The Three Suns (1958)

Oh, ja! Die drei Sonnen am Himmel der Instrumentalmusik. Über die drei habe ich früher schon ausführlich berichtet, ihre Alben sind auch immer ein Bringer in anderen Blogs. Auch meine Alben von den Dreien sind anderweitig oft und gern wieder ins Netz geladen worden, sie scheinen sich also noch immer, nach fast 50 Jahren, größter Beliebtheit zu erfreuen. Hier kommt ein Album, das sage und schreibe 40 Stücke umfasst, fast schon ein kleiner Weltrekord zu der Zeit... ;o) Also: Tanzpartner schnappen, Platte auflegen bzw. MP3-Spieler einschalten und dann gepflegt tanzen wie in der 50ern. Übrigens: Wundern Sie sich bitte nicht über den Titel des Stückes, das ich Ihnen hier präsentiere. Ich habe den Titel aus allen vier Stücken, die in diesem Medley enthalten sind, zusammengesetzt. Na? Bekommen Sie raus, um welche Stücke es sich hier handelt? Viel Spaß beim Tanzen und Mitraten!

The Three Suns - This Manana Ridin' Johnny

The Three Suns - The Things I Love in Hi-Fi (1957)

Another one of those great three guys. I don´t have to tell you "the things I love" about them, do I? ;o) Please enjoy, and don´t forget to look for my lacking James Lasts for me! I´d really appreciate this...

The Three Suns - Fever & Smoke (1961)

This was one of the most requested albums on my blog. Allright, what can I say more about these guys. Great innovative music, great sound, great instruments, great artists. Here they are with an album from 1961 with great versions of... guess what? Yes: "Fever" and "Smoke" and ten other great tunes. Have fun!

The Three Suns - A Ding Dong Dandy Christmas! (1959)

Just like the guy from Hipwax puts it: Christmas comes but once a career, in most cases, usually as a resuscitation attempt. When all else fails, when diehard fans have every song in every format, when DJs refuse to supersaturate the airwaves, along comes the Christmas album. Some are heroic, progressive efforts and mind-bending high points like this one, while others are sentimental snoozes like Christmas celebrations themselves. Since most Christmas records cannot be given away, looking through piles of dirt for a gem is a form of self-abuse. But the great ones are worth it, once a year anyway, and this one is such an album. Here they are again, the Three Suns with one of the craziest Christmas records ever heard. Happy Holidays!

The Three Suns - Twilight Memories (1960)

Here they are again with one of my personal favorites! This album was originally issued in 1960 as a 20th anniversary package, with a dozen of the trio's most popular tunes of the previous two decades, including their own compositions "Twilight Memories" and first million-record seller "Twilight Time". Originally they consisted of a Hammond organ, guitar and accordion, but for some numbers a celeste, vibraphone, twin pianos, bass and drum were added to the instrumentation. "Moonlight and Roses" stands out as a wonderful arrangement, "Jalousie", "Delicado", "Anna" and "Jet" are highlights too, but my personal favorite is "Under Paris Skies". It sounds so french, it couldn´t be any frenchier at all! I´m sure, Mamie would have loved that one too...

The Three Suns - Here Come The Suns, EP (1958)

For all the fans of Mamie Eisenhower, here´s her favorite band again, although I doubt that Mamie loved those guys because of their wild and innovative arrangements. But nevertheless here´s an EP from the year 1958 which features four titles: "Harbor Lights", "The Message", "Kandy Kazoo" and "Smoke Rings". Some crazy stuff, especially the one with the kazoo. And we have a pretty tame one, "Harbor Lights". Yep, let´s just say Mamie would have loved that one...

The Three Suns - Fun In The Sun (1961)

I simply love this one. It´s a request and I´m proud to be able to fulfil my obligations. So, here they are again: Artie, Morty and Al, the favorite band of some president´s wife. This swell collection of summer-themes was released in 1961 between "Movin´ ´n´ Groovin´" and "Fever & Smoke". It´s really sunny and, of course, fun! October is the right time to put this album up, I guess... ;o)
Now, put yourself in a solarium and crank up the volume...

The Three Suns - Swingin´ On A Star (1959)

The Three Suns were the favorite band of whom? It was a president´s wife, but I don´t remember anymore. It was not Hillary Clinton, that´s for sure. If you can guess it, and if you guessed right, you can get this record as your price in three "sunny" steps. Have fun with the Suns! :o)
