The postwar-era pop trio the Three Suns comprised vocalist/organist Artie Dunn, guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:0oJBQMh5ofQSItoYbq9Vuz">Al Nevins</a> and accordionist Morty Nevins. Although formed in 1939, the group did not achieve widespread success until their 1944 Top 20 rendition of "Twilight Time," co-written by the trio with <a href="spotify:artist:2uYGsJqNAauCBaoxgRVuJp">Buck Ram</a>, sold over a million copies. In 1947 the Three Suns topped the charts with "Peg o' My Heart," but by the 1950s line-up shuffles plagued the group -- first <a href="spotify:artist:0oJBQMh5ofQSItoYbq9Vuz">Al Nevins</a> was replaced by Johnny Buck, who later gave way to <a href="spotify:artist:4xDpNE4DnqtqimEjbDrEkt">Joe Negri</a>, while brother Morty Nevins was replaced by accordionist and pianist Joe Vento in 1955. After disbanding, <a href="spotify:artist:3mVSCOj1XBlL6s776Kx0Ed">Dunn</a> reformed the trio in 1957 with guitarist Johnny Romano and accordionist Tony Lovello; a largely-forgotten curio for several decades, by the 1990s the Three Suns had accrued hipster cache thanks to the lounge-music revival, and their original recordings resurfaced on any number of exotica and "space-age bachelor pad" reissues. <a href="spotify:artist:0oJBQMh5ofQSItoYbq9Vuz">Al Nevins</a> also etched his name in pop history as the co-founder, with <a href="spotify:artist:0QZHkwI139kzn81WAFeDXT">Don Kirshner</a>, of Aldon Music, the songwriting house which served as the epicenter of the Brill Building music factory. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
