The Ink Spots

The Ink Spots : Instant Classics
Instant Classics
acmem91cd

The Ink Spots were the most popular and influential black harmony group of their time. Their music influenced thousands of followers then and in later years, while their success inspired black America in general.

Their music evolved from am exuberant mixture of swing, jive, scat and barbershop to the intimate ballad style that would yield the million selling hit 'If I Didn't Care'. Bill Kenny's tenor and the sweet harmonies of Charlie Fuqua and Deek Watson in superb contrast to the deep bass voice of Orville 'Hoppy' Jones-who provided the tender ad-libbing on the group's famous talking choruses.
