The art is lovely, and very classy. This recordings is actually closer to the early 50s as in this track Jimmy Holmes is the singer. The 1939 recording is with Bill Kenny.

Sure thing, just a briefer. Bill Kenny was the 2nd singer of the group, after Jerry Daniels left. His voice and the new style (which was set because of this song) was what put the Spots' on the map. In 1952, Charles Fuqua (the guitarist) formed his own Ink Spots and won the name in a legal suit, but only for a short time. He brought in Jimmy Holmes (who is in this recording). This new group didn't record all of the Spots' hits, but they did a few new recordings of the favorites.

@YeaOkayBitch Deckard is the main character in Blade Runner. This song was supposed to feature in the movie, but eventually it didn't, for copyright issues. It was replaced with "One more kiss", a sound-alike tune. And a really good too, if you like The Ink Spots you should check it out.

Not much is known about Jimmy Holmes, unfortunately, as he would soon be replaced as well. The Ink Spots are famous for many, many member swaps. However when buying albums, he is usually the most found aside from Bill Kenny himself. Bill Kenny is often considered an original member of the group, even though he isn't, but his vocal talent is what gave The Ink Spots their new found fame (before they did mostly hot jazz and 'hotcha' tunes with some blues).

I'm a big Ink Spots fan but I have a hard time picking their voices apart, apparently! I recorded a video of me singing Flowers Mr. Florist, Please and made a reference to Bill Kenny in the description. Someone commented saying, "Not quite as good as Jimmy Holmes but still very good!" and that confused me so much! Can you tell me a little more about the singers? Do they each basically do their own versions of each song? Thank you very much.

People want to share, just as you had to share your arrogant opinion. IF YOU DIDN'T YOU WOULDN'T HAVE POSTED THAT.
