The Ink Spots, are, in my opinion, one of the finest groups to come out of the golden age of music. Especially when you consider they thrived in an environment that was severely prejudiced against African-Americans. They had an ability to take human emotions and store them in songs like I don't want to set the world on fire, someone's rocking my dream boat, among countless others.This particular song was taken from The Ink Spots: Swing High, Swing Low, The Early recordings 1935-41. The line up would, most probably, have consisted as I have put them in the credits, though this may not be totally accurate. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me. Enjoy the classics!

The brushes in this tune can barely be heard by the drummer. Not many brush players amongst the modern drummer. My first question...can I listen to you swing using just your snare with brushes.

It's strange how a lot of jazz standards have lyrics that would work perfectly in a hip hop context.

One if not the top group of the '30s & 40's. I just love them and have for several years tried to locate all their songs. Sadly it seems many are lost. This web site lists all their recordings and many versions of the same tune. //inkspots.ca/ISALPHAZ.htm

@Joeyyepp Thanks for watching. I'd recommend listening to swing high, swing low. Same style. Peace from Britain.
