Austin, thank you so much for your dedication to Bill Kenny and his musical group. My most beloved songs have been transcribed by you, so i am forever grateful for your channel and your work. You have "immortalized" so much of Bill Kenny's work, and i cannot thank you enough.
Thank you my friend! I'm grateful for people like you who love this music too and appreciate it. I hope to find and share more gems in the future. Thanks again! 🙏
Beautiful voice as always. It's always to pleasure to listen to him
Beautiful, thanks for the song
Idk how you find all this amazing stuff but keep it coming my man! You are keeping his legacy alive 🤙
Hell yeah! Kenny sounds absolutely amazing at this point. Still mind-blowing to met that Morton Downey was his biggest inspiration. Do you have the full date of this one? Are You gonna post the full transcription at some point?
I dont own the disc personally but this is all thats on it! I'm just grateful we have this in its entirety! You know as well as I what a treasure this is. Glad you enjoy it too!
one of the most beautiful, gifted, welltrained voices ever. such a pleasure.
Where do you get these? Thank god for the internet that we get to share this through the tips of our fingers
Great to see a new posting - I second the thanks, Austin. I always return to The Ink Spots.
Austin, is there anywhere i can contact you?
Hey Austin, i just wanted to know what your favorite ink spots clone is? My personal favorite is jimm nabbies ink spots (despite how admittedly scummy they were)
Interesting choice! They might be my least favorite tbh lol Thats such a good but tough question. Every group was so entirely different. I love Fuquas groups but I consider that a spin off group more than imposters or clones. I've always loved Mackeys group with Orlando Roberson and Essex Scott. Charlie Owen's first group with Stan Morgan was great too because they also really stayed within the style. Then there's more obscure groups like Arthur Rands Ink Spots and Stanley Morgan's first group who recorded like 1 single each that I really like. I've never been much of a Lorenzo Conyers fan but the record he did "You Cant Hurt Me Anymore" with Fuqua was fantastic. I could talk about these groups for days. Maybe I'll make a video someday. I'm curious why you like Nabbies group so much. What recordings or videos do you like of them?
@@AustinCasey the last response i gave was sort of all over the place so I'm rewriting it to make it more concise and give more reasoning behind my choice.
I like jimm nabbies ink spots because they were very different from the ink spots musical and lyrical style, yet they had similar singing styles. As much as i enjoy the ink spots formula, it was refreshing to hear something new. And i also enjoy hearing other artists songs sung by the ink spots
So my favorite songs by jimm nabbies ink spots have to be
"Sentimental reasons"

"Before it's too late"

And "the more i see you" as seen halfway through this video

This is also why i like lou raglands ink spots song "this magic moment"

Also i do think that you should make ink spots videos, because you seem to know the most about them. And if anyone would be fit to make such videos it would definitely be you!
Fantástico !! me gustó mucho. Gracias
no se como spotify no tiene todas las canciones de bill kenny
En el caso de las transcripciones de radio como esta aquí, solo la más mínima fracción de los discos de transcripción fueron doblados en los años 50s - 90s cuando hubo un boom de nostalgia gigante por parte de los sellos discográficos. Aircheck, Hindsight y otros se centran principalmente en las Big Bands más que en grupos como The Ink Spots, por lo que es raro que se centren en emitir una transmisión a menos que sean el grupo de primer nivel absoluto en términos de popularidad como The Pied Pipers, etc. Dejando la documentación y traspaso de estos discos de transcripción a estudiosos y coleccionistas en los últimos 30 años. ¡Estos discos no son un disco de vinilo promedio, son tan grandes como el volante de un automóvil comúnmente! Se necesita un equipo especial que generalmente solo se encontraba en las estaciones de radio en los años 30s - 60s, cuando las transcripciones eran populares.
En cuanto al caso de las canciones de Bill Kenny/The Ink Spots en general, la mayor parte de lo que escuchas es lo que más le importa a UMG--el titular de los derechos legales de Decca. Así que publicarán "álbumes" en línea para lugares como Amazon, Itunes, Spotify y más que solo tienen entre 20 y 60 canciones. Mientras esos servicios y el usuario paga por escuchar.
Mientras tanto, aquí en RUclips, debido a las leyes de Fair Use y Safety Harbor, se nos permite subir una tonelada más, principalmente debido a que la antigüedad de estas grabaciones es lo suficientemente larga, la mayoría de los oyentes originales están muertos (sin grandes ganancias) y otras razones por las que no se preocupan lo suficiente por sus artistas heredados.
Wow, what an absolute gem. Fantastic find!
GRAZIE MILLE PER QUESTO DOCUMENT MR. CASEY
I get some of my content from here lol. Good stop
Love it, TY❣️
Ennél is többet
Látlak
is there any song in which charlie fuqua is singing solo?
Sadly, no. He had some speaking lines like in Mama Don't Allow, Your Feets Too Big and a few others but I've never found anything of him singing lead. He must've at some point though. If so I hope it was recorded and will come to light someday.
@@AustinCasey also, i believe there is some footage of the ink spots singing "alabama bound" in the great american broadcast
can you upload that?
@@randroid4504I've tried in the past but it got blocked on copyright grounds. I might try again though soon!
Oh, fascinating, I wasn't expecting some serious history on this one. Excellent find, Austin, how'd you manage to get a hold of this?
