Midnight Time With The Three Suns (also listed as The Royale Cocktail Group on disc label)

Rondo-lette A36

From the back cover: One of America's most popular musical groups is the Three Suns, known non-professionally as Al and Mort Nevins, and their cousin, Art Dunn. The boys have been playing together since 1939, when they secured their first job at the Adelphia Hotel in Philadelphia, playing in the then strange combination of guitar, organ and accordion. A little more than a year after their debut, the trio came to New York in November, 1940 and were booked at the Piccadilly Hotel, where their success was so great that they remained for a full decade.

Explanation of their success is difficult. It has been said that they play the kind of music people want to hear at a time when people want to hear it. In other words they possess a sixth sense as to what will be popular and play just that. Since the tremendous smash hits the trio scored, many similar combination have com into being, but have offered virtually no competition to the already established Three Suns. The group to its name when the mother of Al and Mort greeted the inseparable three one day by saying "Here come my three sons." The boys felt the title was excellent for their professional name and with the change of one letter in the name of sons, the group was born.

The instrumental effect of their playing was once summed up by Mort who declared, "the accordion takes the cress figures and single note melody, which is easy to listen to; then Al on guitar plays a steady, rotating, rolling beat, while Artie on the organ, keeps up a sustained background." Their theme song, Twilight Time, is one of their most successful recordings, and seems to have stirred up romantic memories for last half the nation. In an interview, Mort stated that this sound is more frequently asked for than any other in their repertoire and it has not only brought people together for the first time, but has reunited divorced or separated couples. The Three Suns are virtually always sold out in their night club engagements and on radio. They are not only first class musicians but entertainers, and as such, their grasp on the public pulse is firm and will last.
