The Three Suns hailed from Albuquerque, New Mexico, a lounge trio known for their distinctive use of the 3-S "Novachord" — an early, primitive synthesizer. They achieved their greatest popularity in the 1940s and 1950s with a string of instrumental hits that blended jazz, pop, and exotica. The 1958 release of "Having a Ball With the Three Suns" found the group continuing their run of accessible, yet instrumentally sophisticated, material for RCA Victor.
