The Three Suns
The Song of India
by
The Three Suns were a vocal trio known for close harmonies and a polished blend of popular song. Their radio performances center on the group’s singing, bringing a distinctive, carefully balanced sound to familiar melodies and popular standards.
This recording is identified with “The Song of India,” a melody drawn from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s Song of India. The title points to a performance shaped around the tune’s sweeping, lyrical character, with the trio’s voices carrying the musical focus.
The appeal is in the contrast between the song’s grand, romantic melody and the Three Suns’ smooth vocal style. It offers a compact glimpse of a harmony group translating a well-known classical theme into popular radio entertainment.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
