Ink Spots - If I didn't Care

[@desmondpatrick1892]

The lead vocalist exudes pure unadulterated talent.What a voice.

[@JoshCarpio1011]

Bill kenny

[@fuzzynumbers3280]

There's no one quite like Bill Kenny.

[@JoshCarpio1011]

@@fuzzynumbers3280 Yes he had a very unique voice

[@wareforcoin5780]

I was just coming to say: his voice was truly beautiful. The Ink Spots are really a delight to listen to

[@antoniboleslawowicz8095]

Always dolce. I know of no other very high tenor who has a vibrato of the depth and steadiness of his.

[@BAR209]

Sounds like an opera. Bill Kenny had a voice like an angel. Unfortunately, he is almost completely forgotten these days, or rather his influence on music. Although many people know him and the Ink spots through Fallout, hardly anyone knows that Bill Kenny was the role model of Elvis and many others.

[@Jin-Rosavelt]

Literally stole the words from my mouth

[@fredk9999]

Well stated. We still see the other groups like The Platters and The Five Satins

[@kanamekiyru]

Us fallout fans will never forget

[@Frnk_3]

This man sat the stage for EVERYONE not just Elvis. Clyde McPhatter, Eddie Kendricks, Jackie Wilson, Gene Mumford, Sonny Til, Tony Williams, Jimmy Beaumont, and Earl “Speedo” Carroll. That’s even. Cutting the list short! A lot of popular R&B and Doo Wop and even early rock stars took their delivery from Mr. Kenny.

[@rb7860]

I know this song from Sanford and son.

[@RetroMusicMan369]

Bill Kenny singing lead along with Ink Spots are from Philly. And are thought of as one of the earliest vocal groups that lead to the great sound of the vocal groups from the late 40’s and through the 50’s. This song…just pure excellence ❤️ Thanks for posting 👍

Simply beautiful!!! Been hearing this song in movies lately. I pray their heirs received compensation. 💜💜💜

My uncle Richard graduated high school in 1939. He sang snatches of The Ink Spots' songs the rest of his life. You could hear the reverence in his voice when he spoke of them.

[@sallykohorst8803]

Yes i listen to this song everyday and night.

[@Ultranothing]

You don't think that's a little strange?

@@Ultranothing It wouldn't be, this song is magic.

[@Ultranothing]

@@AmphetaminisedGavid No, it is. You just can't tell because you're deranged. It's a good song! But twice a day, for years? That's not normal.

[@fredk9999]

I could. If I were on a space flight departing Earth and could take only ten songs, this would be one

[@AmphetaminisedGavid]

@@Ultranothing deranged? The bass part is magical, the harmony in this song is magical.

[@karenevans7366]

I met them as a child in the early 70s. Needless to say, I had no idea who they were but I remember my grandfather being really excited to see them.

[@chrisdreyer1406]

When I was a boy … my mom’s favorite recordings .,. I learned to love music listening to these beautiful voices. Listing and watching takes me back 75 years. Thank you.

[@georgeparowski1420]

So beautiful, it should appeal to anyone who has met the love of his life.

I can easily cry and smile at the same time each time i ear this song , Bill was phenomenal, not gonna lie im 37 i discovered the ink spot in fallout game but no matter the way i discovered it , what matter is my dedication to this guy now , made me listen all kind of jazz and blues from this period, but damn he is so good ❤

[@catlover34fl]

Amazing group! I love Bill Kenny's voice. My mom had most of their records during the war years in early 1940s. Everyone in my family had a favorite Ink Spot record. Mine was "We Three."

[@NirvanaFan24]

Mine is whispering glass. Such a lovely song
