Soundie - Beyond The Blue Horizon (1944)

★★★★★ · Rock out! · Spuzz · 2005-06-11

I'm sure I've seen this soundie before, several years ago at the Blinding light. Anyways, a great guitar/organ/accordian combo. The organist also has a smashing voice. They sing a great song here, 'Beyond The Blue Horizon". All of this is great, but what makes this into a MUST SEE on the site is the truly orgasmic performance the accordianist does here. Watch the hips move, the eyes close, the hands grip! Oh! I'm getting hot flashes now!

For us longtime Three Suns fans, this is a wonderful find! Many of us have never had the opportunity to see them live, so this short film is about the closest we'll get. These guys were fantastic musicians. They knew thousands of songs, played from memory, were virtuosi on their respective instruments, and can probably be credited with inventing the genre now known as "lounge music"! Bravo Al Nevins (guitar), Morty Nevins (accordion) and Artie Dunn(organ)! This was the best movie I've seen in months!

I'm actually a rock and roll guy but I love this stuff. There was a copycat band called, I think, The Twilight Three, that was even more this than this is this. One of my favorite records.

Classic happy swing music. You just can't beat that smiling accordion face and his boppity swing. Too bad he couldn't get the pelvis thing going before Elvis did, otherwise the accordion might be thought of as something other than campy.
