The Third Album is the third studio album by American actor, singer and songwriter Paul Jabara. The album includes the single releases "Disco Wedding" and "Never Lose Your Sense of Humor".[1] The Third Album, whose title and cover picture paraphrases the Barbra Streisand album of the same name, was released in 1979 on the Casablanca Records label, and again features guest vocalist Donna Summer. In 1979 Jabara also composed the Streisand & Summer duet "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)".

The album tells the story of newlyweds Vinnie and DeeDee, from their wedding ("Disco Wedding") to their honeymoon ("Honeymoon in Puerto Rico"), their eventual divorce ("Disco Divorce") and finally, their reunion ("Just You and Me.") Jabara voiced both Vinnie and DeeDee, as well as the justice of the peace who married them and the judge who presided over their divorce.

The album's second side was dedicated to a medley of songs from Jabara's off-Broadway play Rachael Lily Rosenbloom (And Don't You Ever Forget It). The medley included the song "Never Lose Your Sense of Humor," a duet with Donna Summer.

Casablanca released "Disco Wedding" and "Honeymoon in Puerto Rico" as a 12-inch disco single.

The Third Album was released on CD by Gold Legion on June 3, 2010, and manufactured by Universal Music Special Markets.
