The Ink Spots
1940s1946Rareyoutube

Rare alternate take of The Ink Spots "I Cover The Waterfront" recorded in 1946. Although an entirely different recording than the one usually heard, this sounds very similar to the other. Bill Kenny - Lead Billy Bowen - 2nd Tenor Charlie Fuqua - Baritone, Guitar Herb Kenny - Bass Ray Tunia - Piano

About The Ink Spots

The Ink Spots were an American vocal pop group who gained international fame in the 1930s and 1940s. Their unique musical style predated the rhythm and blues and rock and roll musical genres, and the subgenre doo-wop. The Ink Spots were widely accepted in both the white and black communities, largely due to the ballad style introduced to the group by lead singer Bill Kenny.
