I grew up with the Ink Spots blasting out all over the house; my Father had installed speakers in every room, including the bathroom. Still enjoy listening to them. M.
First off It was a comedy movie,So lets remember the venue..I think Deek Is great just the way he is imo, He always played that role it was his signature in all the early videos.
@@brown9671I'm pretty sure deek was a bit of an asshole wasn't he? He made the band "the brown dots" which was a total rip off of the ink spots and he was planning on making his own band called "the ink spots" but he was sued. That's what I understand at least, I might have gotten a bit of info wrong.
I loved these guys in the mid 80s ,stil do but I loved em then ,my dad bought me a fake cassette of their greatest hits when he was mashed and brought it home as a prize for me ,I loved it and I still do
You're right because even on the music apps when you start looking for The Ink Spots you might find some later manifestations of the group's. There is no sound like the original sound of the original Ink Spots and you are so right to encourage everyone to make sure we're talking about the original Fab Four as it were. Thank you so much
@@user-xu4ow3bu6f I don't think they ever came up with a singer that replaced Hoppy Jones after they lost him in 1944. They were still great but never the same.
I still cant comprehend that these people at those tables were living like us with emotions and was living life, nothing like today, just living with what they had with no idea what was to come and was just living wit what they had and a normal life like us. would love to be teleported to the 20s to something like this to see what life was like
A wonderful and talented set of men. Loved their music since the 1990s when I played my first Fallout video game and now it's 2024 they are better than anything almost that reaches the top 100 singles for all the year. Go figure contemporary artists ..
I've always been a fan, had no idea who they were until know, was entering a woolworth,s in St.Austel in 1984 and before me was Don Estel singing Wispering Grass in full uniform of course, lovely boys.
I thought it would be fun to play these on guitar but I'm just a beginner and it looks like it's simple when you just hear them play it, but when you look at the sheet music it's all sort of diminished chords and 9th and sevenths and stuff that the beginner just won't understand. If they gave birth to doo-wop and then in doo-wop they simply simplified the chord progressions because this is some serious Jazzy chords played on the guitar. Someone who knows better please help explain this in more musicologial terms.
First off, I'd recommend not following the sheet music. Since its not a transcription of this exact arrangement it will likely have lots of extra things that the guitarist here (Charlie Fuqua) isn't actually playing. When I first started out playing these tunes on Guitar I ran into the same issue you have. Incidentally, this was the very first Ink Spots tune I learned because it is the easiest of them all. Yes, there is a diminished chord, but if you can play a major chord or minor chord you can play diminished. All you have to do is Google (for instance) G#dim and there will be a diagram showing you how to play that chord. You want to find fingerings that don't contain open strings though. Once you get it under your fingers you'll have it forever. I might make videos in the future showing how to play these tunes but trust me, its not as hard as you think. I would highly recommend watching "guitaress" video tutorial of I Dont Want To Set The World On Fire as it was incredibly helpful to me and helped me figure out what was going on in this arrangement of Do I Worry. We need more people playing this music so please do us a favor and keep trying. You'll get there. (y)
@@AustinCasey this is just a wonderfully generous and humane reply and I'm very grateful. The song I started with and I looked up was someone's rocking my Dreamboat. And I just got overwhelmed by the amount of different cords. I'll try this one or world on fire, and yes I'll keep going because it's just so fun to hear and sing into make this music. Once you start getting into the original Ink Spots, as your tremendous scholarly Embrace of them indicates, it becomes a sort of way of life and the way of training your heart to feel.
It almost seems like the Ink Spots have a song for every phase a relationship goes through: - Asking one out - The Honeymoon Phase - The Jealousy - Conflicts/Arguments - Apologies Afterward - The Breakup - The Aftermath of the Breakup
Him: “Are you sure you can do that?” Her: “Who are you talking to?” Him: “It’s Jake from State Farm. Yeah~ that sounds like a pretty good deal-“ Her: “Jake from State Farm at 3 in the morning?--Who is this?!” Him: “It’s Jake… from State Farm?” Her: “What are you wearing Jake from State Farm?” Jake: *“Kakis…”* Her: “She sounds ugly.” Him: *“She’s a guy so…”*
I love how the bass singer is also the bass singer
For anyone wondering, this is from the abbott & costello movie pardon my sarong.

That's pretty cool!
@@stevegross8563 .. it was great, music music music all weekend. Happy days. M.
Mustve feel like Bioshock or Fallout lol
This is taken from the 1942 Universal film `Pardon My Sarong` starring Bud Abbott & Lou Costello, early in the film at about the 9 minute mark.
Deek Watson really was a showman.
Deek ruins the concept of an ensemble

It's great to see footage with the proper, original lineup. As ever, Austin, thank you for this.

Austin can sing great too 🥰
Bill Kenny actually was not part of the original lineup. I saw an interview with Jerry Daniels and he explained why he left the group.
@@gcdtrek1shame Bill Kenny was the best one In my opinion
This is the one. The best recording of the song ever made in my opinion.
can't believe I'm just seeing this now 🤯 I always liked hoppy's bass best, and seeing him on video has only solidified that opinion

Don’t know how I end up here but I’m glad I did. Amazing footage.
Nice to see you still uploading the Ink Spots
Greatest group ever!
I've always loved the inkspots mind you I'm 63.
I'm 28. But old enough to know that 63 is still young.
I’m 20
Susuper belle époque ,qu'elle changer d 'avoir 82 ans
Vous parlez français ?

Bill’s lead
Hoppy’s spoken bridge and playing
Deek with his facial expressions 😂
And both Deek and Charlie with their background harmonies
My favorite Abbott and Costello movie. They had a great radio show going on in the mid-40s as well.
Pardon My Sarong?
Must've been very nice to live in the 40s no internet, no bs, the world was good.
You can't live in the past. We just got to do the best we can, in our time.
yeah if you were a white man
Lol, are you sure? Maybe take a look in a history book and look up what happened in the 40's...
not in europe
@@cyclone.edits1 and asia
... and south america
... and africa, like always
Love this song
Love these guys
The best male group I’ve ever heard! 👍
One year before i was borne but can still enjoy now thanks to you tube
The Harmony ... Priceless !
My dad loved The Ink Spots.
Many thanks for these videos, new to me approaching 80! Wow. Bill Kenny is the best!
The best line up and Deek had a wonderful voice also.
Wo2! What can be said? I remember the group songs, but don’t think we ever saw a TV performance. Masterfully done.
Tolle Musik, danke dafür. Wünsche noch eine schöne Woche. L.G. A.K.
Lg hihi
Okay now this is amazing, i always see still images so having an actual video is insane, what a jewel i came across on the internet today, thank you
The best video I've seen in months!
Hoppy Jones was the first musician to ever play the bass on a cello.
I love the ink spots 🥰
Masterpiece
Thank you !
I can't stop watching this
Excellent video, many thanks Austin!
WOW! Just WOW!!!! Thank you for this!!!

Classic lineup including the comedic Deek Watson (who left the band in 1944) .
Magic.
From left to right:
Deek Watson, Bill Kenny, Orville 'Hoppy' Jones and Charlie Fuqua on guitar. This is 1942.
More than a class act..

Muito bom.
Who's the guy on the left? He's a hoot, definitely be inviting him to my party!
I cant believe this song is not in fallout 😢
Everyone Worries, when the "Ice man calls"
Love this

Hey man, this is Cody. Is this the right Austin? I think we both work at Haggens.
I like that line where he sings “Do I worry if Niagara Falls”. 😂😅
NIAGARA FALLS!

I think you're right in assuming that they must have been a tremendous influence on the vocal groups that came after them.
Wow, great song. You could slide Elvis right into this. They just did it 20 years earlier. lol
