To anyone with babies or young toddlers: Always keep a CD of the Ink Spots in your car or near the crib. Their music never fails to calm little ones down when they're cranky.

I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
because it hypothesizes setting the freakin' world ON FIRE!!

I love that one, he sounds so earnest, he really doesn't want to set the world on fire

'java jive' for me, a cup a cup a cup a cup a cup

To be serious though, We Three stands out the most whenever I put them on. Hmm, which has been awhile...

I cannot manage to keep my jaw off the floor every time I see the name of this group.

"If I Didn't Care" -- which was implanted in my brain as a kid by my father, who was a huge Ink Spots fan.

I voted for "Maybe." That song will always thrill me. Though "We Three," "If I Didn't Care," and "Light the World on Fire" are all close seconds.

"Whispering Grass." "DON'T tell the trees, because they'll tell the blabbering breeze."

― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Thursday, 20 December 2007 02:06 (eighteen years ago)

They are ALL THE SAME.

I voted for "Maybe" because I watched the Fallout intro movie many times.

Brian Clough's favourite band.

"I will not have gossip in this jungle"

marvellous.

― Mark G, Thursday, 20 December 2007 10:20 (eighteen years ago)

They are ALL THE SAME.
They certainly had a formula, for sure: The same acoustic guitar riff to open, and the spoken word in the middle.
