The Ink Spots - Lost In A Dream (1950)

The Ink spots have got to be one of the best bands of all time. They are solely responsible for half of Doo-Wop. Their music is very Iconic, yet they are very underrated. Even though this was just a four person quartet, they had 19 members. Bill Kenny wasn't even an original member. These records you see here are from a different time. This was from the Post-Care era of Inkspottery. This era was from 1939 - 1952. The Ballad/Romance era. Though this era would continue into 1954, this is the main part of that era. Starting from their romance records on the infamous the Black and Gold arches of the late Decca. It is from this era that The Ink Spots have been mostly compared to The Mills Brothers for there weird vocalizations and mimicking. This is where there some songs that would be covered greatly by Tommy Dorsey or Fats Waller would come from. It is defendant worth a listen to if you want a different taste of The Ink Spots with.

I love this band so much that i can't really talk about their discographical history or otherwise without me committing plagiarism. So I wont. But they only recorded on Victor, Decca, and for a little bit on V-Disc.

Here is the actual record review for this.
With My Eyes Wide Open, I'm Dreaming.
"Bill Kenny's wide wobbly vibrato has a ball with this revived oldie. This waxing should help shove the tune into important contention The best Ink Spots' effort in ages. (88)"

Lost In A Dream
"Pretty ballad is done in more straightforward fashion than is usual of the Spots. A pleasant Waxing. (81)" (Billboard, 2/25/50)

Possibly Kennys greatest record. Amazing!
