Above: Label images of King 1336 and King 1425, both sides recorded on September 9, 1953. The line-up shown on the King 1425 label is when the record was released, not when it was recorded. Essix Scott replaced Leon Antoine in 1954. Charlie Fuqua's Ink Spots had nine records released on King (1953-55), and then, with a modified line-up, moved to the Verve label (1956-59). They also had a beautiful song on the Ford label (1962), with Joe Van Loan singing tenor lead.Listen to this week's selections by The Ink Spots
