Die Four Aces bekamen ihr Forum bereits im Herbst 2009 und da war unser Anliegen in erster Linie zu erfassen, wie sie in unserem Raum in Erscheinung traten und da war eine Disco für den deutschsprachigen Raum wichtig. Nach dem derzeitigen Stand gehen wir bereits an die Wurzeln und dazu fehlt aber noch die Single-Disco aus den USA, die jetzt folgt.
Das Quartett:
Das Vokal-Quartett The Four Aces wurde 1949 in Chester, Pennsylvania, von Al Alberts und Dave Mahoney, sowie Lou Silvestri und Sol Vaccaro gegründet. Da sie keine Plattenfirma finden konnten, die ihre Vokal-Darbietungen veröffentlichten wollten, gründete Al Albert einfach selbst ein Label und mit dem Titel "Sin" hatten sie bereits einen regionalen Erfolg, wodurch größere Firmen auf sie aufmerksam wurden. Bei dem großen Label DECCA konnten sie dann schlußendlich unterschreiben.

Von den schwarzen Four Aces aus den Dreißigerjahren gab es zeitbedingt lediglich Schellacks mit einer einzigen Ausnahme. Die Four Aces aus Fort Worth, Texas, brachten in den frühen Fünfzigern noch mindestens eine, vermutlich sogar zwei 45er-Singles auf den Markt. Wegen der bereits sehr großen Popularität der weißen Four Aces aus Pennsylvanien, nannten sie sich einfach The Original Four Aces. Von einem allfälligen Namensstreit steht aber nichts in den Büchern.
BIG TOWN
?? 54....112X45....THE ORIGINAL 4 ACES..Who's Arms Are You Missing (6667)/Release Me (6675) *)
04 55....118X45....THE ORIGINAL 4 ACES..I Can See An Angel (6678)/You Were My First Affair (6676)
*) ich vermute, kann es derzeit aber nicht belegen, dass es diese Vinyl-Single ebenfalls
....in den 50ern gab
