I was born in 1949. I was raised in Indianapolis where the Ink Spots were from, and I remember my parents loving them so and playing their records in our home. But when I see these old films, I realize just how great they were. It brings back such memories of my own childhood and of an America that, while it was far from perfect, was such a more wholesome culture than our world/culture is today. Maybe we can all take a deep breath, recognize the wonderful blessings that unite us as a people, and just appreciate the giftedness of these men as their music still blesses us today. Anyone agree?
I wasn't even born during this time. And I agree. I was raised more traditionally, home schooled, on a farm, with parents born in the 50s. So, I think I tend to resonate with your sentiment.Though I am young, I was raised to understand we are very blessed in this nation. We need to flash back to a time when people were kinder, more polite, and dignified. We have to unite. Music like this is still popular to this day for a reason. It's soothing to our nervous system, I believe. ❤️🇺🇲🙏
Always a pleasure to listen to Jimmy Holmes. As time goes on, the more inclined I am to put him almost beside Bill Kenny... but not quite. But still, definitely one of my favourite singers, whose technical ability and style were just completely, utterly superb. He's not given anywhere near the credit he deserves.
I dont think the man singing in this video is Jimmy Holmes (b.1947) and more than likely Deek Watson (b.1909) or Bill Kenny (b. 1914) who were original members of the Ink Spots who left the original group and started another group called The Brown Spots. Jimmy Holmes would have only been 8 years old when this episode of the Swift Show Wagon (1955) was traveling state to state. Deek would have been 46 years old and Bill 41 so either of the two seems more appropriate guess of the guy singing in this clip. Perhaps the announcer (Hoarce Heidt and the American Way) had the name of the group wrong since there were many groups who used the name back then.
@@hitirussantosa7116 That's Jimmy Holmes. He was not born in 1947 and sang with the group from 1953 to 1957 recording for King Records and Verve Records. Deek Watson left the group just before they recorded for King Records. It's certainly not Bill Kenny.
An interesting thing this video confirms... Hal Jackson was actually playing his Cello, not using it as a prop like Herb Kenny did. You can hear him throughout and it’s noticeable when a drops out for his talking part then comes in a few beats afterwards. This isn’t all that surprising considering Jackson was an accomplished Bass player, but still interesting. It wasn’t totally necessary for him to play it since there was a Bass player playing off screen too but it’s cool that he was playing it like Hoppy used to.
Flawless with no Auto-Tune funny how we went from this To my neck, my back, I will stop right here anyone else listening to this beautiful Masterpiece in 2024
@telbon8869 My deepest condolences ❤️May she and he rest with peace that surpasses logic. 🙏☺️ I am very blessed to still have my Nana, who's 91, and my wonderful mother. Music is such a beautiful thing to connect over. It really does help facilitate beautiful memories. My Nana, whom we take care of due to advanced dementia, can still remember full songs with ease. 🥹❤️
@@dRoscoAZ Thank you for your kind response. So sorry your Nana is suffering from advanced dementia. That disease is so cruel. Praying for comfort, healing and peace for you all. But it is magical that music can unlock a door to happy memories, so play her the songs she loves at every opportunity. I have seen many instances of elderly people with dementia and alzheimers, sitting in a wheelchair or in bed with vacant stares and uncommunicative, yet when their favorite songs are played, they literally become animated, alive and smiling. It is truly a gift from God. Treasure every moment with your loved ones. May God bless you and your family!
@telbon8869 I was so beyond blessed by your beautiful and eloquent words. Thank you so much. My day has been so blessed because of it! I shared our interaction with my mother. She was so blessed by this as well.She is currently with my Nana, so I encouraged her to play Cielito Lindo🎶, which is one of her all-time favorites. She still sings the words. And it lights her up, almost as the chorus aludes to... that singing cheers up our hearts essentially. Anyhow, thank you again for your tender kindness. I feel so much lighter today with these wonderful thoughts and memories stirring. 🥰🙏❤️ Thank our Heavenly Father for imbueing his beauty throughout all creation, especially in Musica!!! God bless you and your family. Thank you for your encouragement and prayers. It means the world to us 🙏
@@dRoscoAZ I am humbled and moved to tears by your heartfelt response. This is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me! But although I try to offer comfort and compassion to others on occasion, I unfortunately fail much of the time and don't do enough. I am heartened that my communication with you was so well received and had a positive, uplifting effect. But I cannot take any credit, for I am just a broken, unworthy vessel and sinner. The credit for any good actions or words from me belongs to my Heavenly Father, for He can even use a broken, unworthy vessel such as myself to spread his uplifting message of love, encouragement, and compassion. I believe that God works in very mysterious ways, and connecting with you by the unusual way of commenting to a youtube music video is proof of that! May God richly bless you, your mother and entire family!
Me too. He was classically trained and it’s evident. It contributed greatly to the uniqueness of his style and approach and naturally his technical abilities. .
That's my mom and dad's era. This takes me right back to when I was little--and it's great to actually see them performing and not just a pic on a record album! Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much Austin! Such a great clip. I can never get enough Essex, even just his harmony. But this is my favorite ensemble of Ink Spots, Jimmy and Harold are amazing too! This group seemed to be the most swinging of the bunch. Thanks so much for saving these clips and sharing them with the world!
@@AustinCasey Great to make your acquaintance, Austin. And where did you find this clip? Where has it been hiding since 1955?? How did you get your hands on it? Tell us the story!
Holmes's vocal control is incredible! In my opinion he is absolutely on par with Bill Kenny as a frontman for the Ink Spots. And Jackson makes for a great talking bass as well. It seems to me that Fuqua's group in the 50s was even closer to the original Ink Spots sound than the actual Ink Spots were in the late 40s and early 50s. That's especially noticeable on their songs with Deek Watson
I want Ink Spots children great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren I'm 59 years old and I hear your father's music everybody background music being play over and 2021
Brilliant. With the US and the UK going down the drain, this is what we need to pull us through. And don't forget the epoch these guys had to go through. -- Phil, London, England
@phillipdavison1487 How sad it is that the U.S. and UK are going down the drain since we both (and our other allies) saved the world from the Nazi menace.
That's correct. The title of this video is essentially "click bait". In 1952, Charlie Fuqua left The Ink Spots to form his own competing group that was supposed to be called "The New Ink Spots" but he never really did that and just called his group "The Ink Spots". This caused great confusion and was the beginning of imposter and spin-off groups forming all over the world even to this date! For more info you can search "After the Ink Spots" in Google. Its really incredible. So, this is Charlie Fuquas Ink Spots... NOT The Ink Spots. Hope that helps!
I just love the sound of this group....as did and do many. I am of the beatles generation but am a definite fan of these guys. I would like to have heard groups from my generation do covers of inspots songs .... Can you imagine a beatles version of "If I didnt care" produced by Martin? I have their greatest hits cd....very interesting. Thank you Inkspots ....their wikipedia page is really interesting.
@@AustinCasey You're right, this is Jimmy Holmes and he was the lead singer Redd Foxx would imitate. Jimmy Holmes was very dramatic and descriptive with his hands to show off his flashy rings, watches and bracelets. Bill Kenny only wore a wedding ring.
@@alanmorris7669 Absolutely false my friend. Bill Kenny wore a very large diamond ring he designed himself. You can see it in many of his press photos and he speaks of it in an interview with NBC radio found here on my channel. In addition, there are numerous quotes from singers of his time that describe his shows where he would "wave his large hands as the spotlights cast sparkling reflections from his large diamond ring". Just Google search "Bill Kenny diamond ring" and you'll probably find many quotes. You could also search "Bill Kenny Redd Foxx". Jimmy Holmes was quite literally imitating Bill Kenny in singing and presentation.
Redd Foxx was imitating his friend Bill Kenny who was the lead singer of the ORIGINAL Ink Spots (not the group seen in this video). Herb Kenny was Bill Kenny's brother who did the talking part "Honeychile, if I didn't care". The man in this video is Jimmy Holmes who was also imitating Bill Kenny.

He's such a uniquely operatic and brilliant vocalist. Only comparison I can think of is Roy Orbison, which is remote. I've been trying to find some good collection of his work, but keep running into the blues singer with middle name "Duck" and obtuse Elvis Presley stuff. Could you suggest some JH collection I could buy? Thanks.
By the way, I like the Ink Spots in general, but Jimmy Holmes is an other-worldly original singer. In one bio, I saw that Holmes liked Sinatra, which I think is apt, as he is in that class.

This is actually an entirely different group led by Kenny's guitarist Charlie Fuqua. Fuqua hired 3 different guys that were never with the original Ink Spots.
