Not The Real Thing

"These people probably legitimately inherited the name "The Ink Spots" but, to those of us who grew up listening to the originals, they don't even come close to the style and substance we enjoyed. Go and look for those recordings - available on Amazon - and ignore this group who are about half as good when imitating the original group and who are sometimes even poor when doing material in a style the old group would never have attempted. I've bought these recordings before, to my dismay. Get the real Ink Spots and forget this poor imitation."

A very good contemporary group

"Although this CD is mainly one of the current Ink Spot groups, tracks 14,17,&18 are from a late 50's LP with Orlando Roberson, Essix Scott, Bernie Mac key, and possibly Sammy Pierce."Lord Essix" shows off his talent on "Back In Your Own Back Yard," Orlando Roberson gives us a sweet "Charmaine," and the ensemble swings out on "Life Is Just A Gamble" with one fluke by Orlando. Can't understand why Mr Sterlie inserted this with George Grant's group."

Not the original Ink Spots.

"This CD contains remakes of the original classics by the Ink Spots by an inferior modern group who somehow inherited the name.

Save your hard earned money and buy one of the many CDs of the original songs and group available here on Amazon."
