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.

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 KZfaq, 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.

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?

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)

@AustinCasey 8 ай бұрын

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" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irx5ZKd5mL_VcqM.htmlsi=znIkimE9JK62sgee "Before it's too late" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9ufYLyCr56rg4E.htmlsi=Z-5NAgPiArCwuTOv And "the more i see you" as seen halfway through this video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oMBlaqiptNiyY3k.htmlsi=-7UUN10Dt6PXBWjj This is also why i like lou raglands ink spots song "this magic moment" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5yChrSZxJvdeIE.htmlsi=AEK7-qgKAtvcJBIT 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!

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.
