It has been a while since I posted something music-related on this forum, and since YouTube videos are Finally allowed on here, I get to share with you one of my all-time favorite albums from my collection, and this one comes fifty-one years ago, near the end of this particular groups reign of making albums.
In early 1963, Don Kirshner sold Aldon Music, the music publishing company he founded with longtime Three Suns founder/producer Al Nevins, whose clints included some famous songwrting teams as Carole King and Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil, and Neil Sedaka & Howard Greenfield, to Columbia/Screen Gems for Three million dollars. Al took his money and went to Paris for a while, then returned to producing Three Suns albums for RCA Victor. During that time period, his longtime arranger Charles Albertine left the Three Suns to return to his Big Band roots with Sammy Kaye (Albertine got his start with bandleader brothers Les and Larry Elgart), so Nevins replaced Albertine with arranger Roy (sometimes Leroy) Glover. Glover was able to make four distinctive albums with a different overall musical theme to his four albums with the Three Suns, and the first album he did with the group. One Enchanted Evening, is one of the best Three Suns albums ever made. There was some rock-tinged songs with "Whispering Shadows", but, for the most part, it was taking established songs and making them into totally unique pieces of musical art. Here is the complete song list:
Side One:
This Love of Mine
Tonight
You Make Me Feel So Young
I Can't Stop Loving You
No Blues At All
With The Wind and the Rain In Your Hair
Side Two:
My Heart Belongs To Daddy
I'm Getting Sentimental Over You
The Tender Trap
In The Still of the Night
Whispering Shadows
Some Enchanted Evening
