Pro Reviews: Best of the Ink Spots [Half Moon]

  • All Music Guide

    The Ink Spots were the first modern black vocal group, and although chiefly known for their wonderful harmonies, which bridged the gap between 1940s pop styles and the street corner doo wop styles of the 1950s, they were also a selfcontained band, and a versatile one. Led by lead singers Deek Watson and Bill Kenny (whose other worldly high tenor and mannered diction put him in a class by himself), and grounded by Hoppy Jones' innovative (and often improvised) talkingbass vocal lines, The Ink Spots charted nearly fifty Top 40 singles, beginning with "If I Didn't Care" in 1939. This collection works as a decent introduction to this wonderful group. Highlights include a fine version of Duke Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" and a completely modern take on Leroy Carr's "When The Sun Goes Down," recast here as a pop blues with harmonies that would make The Beach Boys blush.

Biography

The Ink Spots

The Ink Spots played a large role in pioneering the black vocal groupharmony genre, helping to pave the way for the doo wop explosion of the '50s. The quavering high tenor of Bill Kenny presaged hundreds of streetcorner leads to come, and the sweet harmonies of Charlie Fuqua, Deek Watson, and bass Hoppy Jones (who died in 1944) backed him flawlessly.Kenny's impeccable d... Read more
