The Three Suns - Beyond the Blue Horizon - Early Exotica

On the other side of the musical spectrum, here is the organ-accordion-guitar combo The Three Suns.

Composed of Al & Marty Nevins on guitar & accordion and Artie Dunn on organ, this hot trio were one of the big 'exotica' acts of the mid-1940's.

Later, Al Nevins would go on to be one of the founders of Aldon Music, publishing and producing such pop acts as Gerry Goffin, Carole King, Neil Sedaka, and many more.

It would be cool if all the ruthless ganstas would listen to this music. Imagine if you heard this from a car blaring this out instead of Hip Hop.

Notice they sing "rolling sun" rather than "rising sun" at the end of the song... this is because after pearl harbour, "rising sun" signifyied the Japanese flag... so eveyone changed the last words of the song for about 20 years....

This piece of music was the inspiration for Alexander Courage's "Star Trek" theme.

MAN! this song is amazing... I wish Artie would have sang on more of their songs. This video is such a rare gem. So enjoyable.

[ScottShuster]

Actually he sang "morning sun", not "rolling sun"...but anyway that's interesting about "rising sun." Kinda like "Freedom Fries" in 2003....

Love it. Gooey organ rocks. Although not its intent - this video feels very David Lynch-ish. lol

this is a first generation Hammond organ model A...not a B3. you can tell by the location of the music desk and the shape of the bench and organ legs.

Imagine my surprise - I misread the title as "Early Erotica" Nevertheless this rocks. That is a sweet Hammond B3

@cyryczy15 It's not inconceivable.

My older sister Marga Hanson played harp on many cuts with the Three Suns, including 8 cuts on the album My Reverie. She was awesome. (was NBC Symphony harpist too) They were all great. This was before my time but I love it. BTW, I teach music too, and my daughter is a high school choral director and operatic soprano who has little use for any pop singing. I'm glad that the classically trained Marga played often with them and their (1950ish) pop hits.
