1… Read Full Bio ↴Musical groups in three genres have shared the name The Four Aces.
1. The Aces, initially known as "The Four Aces" were a Jamaican vocal group who are best known for their work with Desmond Dekker, but who also recorded without him. The initial line-up of the Aces was Clive Campbell, Barry Howard, Carl Howard, and Patrick Howard. The group came to the attention of Dekker, who supported them when they auditioned for Leslie Kong at Beverley's studio in 1965. The producer employed the group as backing singers for Dekker, recording many hits with him including "The King of Ska" (where they were credited as His Cherry Pies), "Get Up Adinah" (on which they were credited as the Four Aces"), huge hits such as "007 (Shanty Town)" and "Israelites", and the winner of the 1968 Festival Song Contest, "Music Like Dirt". By 1967 the only remaining original member was Barry Howard, along with Winston Samuels. Dekker's international success led to overseas tours, but the Aces were not taken along, Samuels refusing to fly, stating "Rastas did not fly on iron birds", and Barry Howard having already decided to emigrate to the United States. Instead they stayed in Jamaica and recorded without Dekker. They had a Jamaican hit in 1970 with "Mademoiselle Ninette", and by 1971 the line-up had again changed, with Barry now rejoined by Carl Howard. A string of hits followed with "Reggae Motion", "Take a Look", "Oh I Miss You", Call Me Number One", "Be My Baby", and "Sad Sad Song", and they had a near hit in the pop charts in 1973 with "Working on it Night and Day". Little more was heard from the group until 1982 when they released "One Way Street".
2. An American singing quartet which was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2001. The group is well-known for a plethora of hits, including: "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing", " Three Coins in the Fountain", "Stranger in Paradise", "Shangri-La", "Perfidia". All of the group's major hits were first performed by the original four members: Al Alberts (originally Albertini), Dave Mahoney, Lou Silvestri, and Rosario "Sod" Vaccaro. Although all were from Chester, Pennsylvania, Alberts and Mahoney actually met in the Navy. They formed a duo, with Alberts singing and Mahoney playing behind him. Later adding Vaccaro on trumpet and Silvestri on drums, the group played in the Philadelphia area. When they could not find a label which would release their record, "(It's No) Sin," Alberts started his own label, Victoria Records. "(It's No) Sin" sold a million copies! DECCA Records soon signed the group, billing them as The Four Aces Featuring Al Alberts. In 1956, Alberts left The Four Aces to try to make it as a soloist, but never made the charts. He was replaced as lead singer by Fred Diodati, another Philadelphia product. Over the years, as the remaining original members left, Diodati chose new singers to replace them. The right to "The Four Aces" name eventually landed in court. In 1975, Diodati was awarded the right to the name and continued to tour under it. The founding members, who again wanted to tour, were allowed to use the name, "The Original Four Aces, Featuring Al Alberts." The latter group retired in 1987. The Four Aces are still touring. (A link to their appearances is listed below.)
3. Cajun fiddler Leo Soileau was the second Cajun musician to record his works. This occurred in the late 1930s. The Four Aces was the name of his second string band (the first had been The Rhythm Boys). Soileau reitred from music in the 1940s with the demise of the string band sound.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a woman's world when she's in love
It's a woman's world, his kiss can make her glow
And that's what makes it so, it's a woman's world
It's a woman's world, stars dance above
It's a lovely world, his footstep at the door
His hopes, his dreams and his ambitions
All the ups and downs she'll gladly share
She'll give her all without conditions
When he looks around, she'll be there
It's a woman's world, ask any man
It's a woman's world, and he's so glad it is
For when it's hers it's his
It's a woman's world, but only because it's his
It's a woman's world, ask any man
It's a woman's world, and he's so glad that it is
For when it's hers it's his
It's a woman's world, but only because it's his
Woman's world it's a woman's world when she's in love
The Four Aces's song "It's A Woman's World" is a romantic and positive portrayal of a woman's role in a relationship, specifically when she is in love. The song describes how everything in the world seems to revolve around the woman and her love for her partner. The chorus repeats the phrase "It's a woman's world" to emphasize how important and all-encompassing love can be for a woman. The lyrics suggest that a woman's love is powerful and transformative, able to make the world a more beautiful and magical place.
The song also highlights the sacrifices and dedication that women are willing to make for their partners. The lyrics state that a woman will gladly share in her partner's dreams and ambitions, and will give her all without any conditions. This reinforces the idea that women are nurturing and supportive partners, who will always be there for their loved ones through thick and thin. The song's overall message is that love can be a transformative force, and that women play an important role in creating a loving and harmonious world for themselves and their partners.

I remember seeing this movie for the first time back around 1959 on Saturday Night at the Movies on NBC. Nothing was in color though and didn't see it in color until many years later. Great movie!
Chris Jones
In 1986, my brother and I settled down, each to our own bunk bed levels, to watch this movie late at night on the small color set in the corner. I fell fast asleep about seven minutes in, and was out for the whole thing. My brother stayed awake, and told me later that he enjoyed the film. One of these days, I'll watch it right through.
