The Ink Spots - I'll Never Smile Again

The Ink Spots were a popular vocal group that helped define the musical genre that led to rhythm & blues and rock and roll,
and the subgenre doo-wop. They and the Mills Brothers, another black vocal group of the 1930s and 1940s, gained much acceptance in the white community.

I love how every intro of the songs are just variations of eachother

[@cumomsandcureloms]

they certainly had a distinctive sound, and they stuck to it

[@Gato-bc7st]

They really liked the intro☠️

[@Iamweirdforpeople]

same here!

[@gobuns2]

​@@cumomsandcureloms yeah, I read some comments that said some musicians of the time were incapable, so they usually played the same stuff over and over. but I'd guess that guitarist could learn to play another lick. maybe he wasn't creative.

[@theskylion1726]

Every day I thank the Fallout series for introducing me to such incredible artists that came way before my time like the ink spots

[@francisjo3]

[@rennerbd]

The Ink Spots existed before Bill Kenny joined but their lead singer died and was replaced by Bill Kenny. Their signature became the same chords intro you hear on many of their ballads and the bass talking bridge. Most of the sides they recorded with Ella Fitzgerald and other singers don't have either of their signature parts.

[@2wetsocks]

Ink Spots make every song depressing/sad.... I love it!

[@xPrecisionx]

Good game, but for ten years in development, it was pretty damn short.

[@brendonjohnson676]

Precision depends what game you're talking about, cuz most of them took less than that and they were very good. Especially New Vegas, made it actually feel like a wasteland. Fallout 3 and 4 made it feel dystopian, so pretty much you can pick your poison between them.

[@CPorter]

Precision 10 years? What drugs are you on?

I was talking about 1.5, I thought that was obvious

[@HideriChansoKawaii]

[@Knight_Of_Eleum_Loyce]

@@xPrecisionx How could that be obvious? A lot of Fallout fans have never even touched Fallout 1, let a lone a Fallout mod based on Fallout 2. Also I read how Fallout 1.5 ends (the main character killing himself and that doesn't sit right with me.

[@nuclearwater_]

I strongly encourage anyone reading to listen to The Platters recording. It's just as beautiful but with a lot more instruments.

[@donbrenner3194]

The Ink Spots usually had either a guitar or a tiple for their backing and often a stand-up bass. This record was released in 1940. The Platters record does have more instruments and was recorded in 1959 on an LP "Remember When" but not released until 1961. The Platters recorded many sides originally done by the Ink Spots including "If I Didn't Care", "To Each His Own" and others.

[@DirectDoggo]

Thanks for the recommendation! I've heard this cover of the song a million times, but the Platters one is a real hidden gem.

[@donbrenner3194]

This was recorded in 1940. So, yes, in the 50s the sound quality was better than this. Even though an LP and later a CD was cut from masters, the masters were recorded in 1940. RCA released the first 45s in 1949, EPs in 1951 and Columbia created LPs in 1948 but recordings were not released until early 1952. Every new technology takes time to produce and release and more time to improve.
