  • God they were good. What entertainers. Believe me Jack did not get them confused with the Ink Spots.

  • Right on! This is my very favorite of their many recorded performances of "Up A Lazy River." Class, exuberance, perfect blend, showmanship . . . it's all here. Also, the chemistry with Mr. Benny and Don Wilson is marvelous.

  • ts the smoothest

  • No, Jack didn't get them confused, but Benny Goodman once did. When they were appearing at a Theatre together, Goodman, who had tunnel vision concerning music, introduced them as "The Ink Brothers"! This from James Lincoln Collier's bio, "Benny Goodman And The Swing Era".

    But the "brothers" were sensational" indeed. Nobody has ever been able to copy or equal that wonderful sound.

  • Sooo good so smooth,love these guys, and I forgot how funny Jack Benny was

  • @davidperi No, the guitarist here is not a MIlls brother, but until the mid 1930s, there were 4 MIlls Brothers performing and the other brother was the guitarist of the group. Sadly, he died in the mid-1930s, and the 3 brothers continued performing with a new guitarist , and with their father who also sang with them until the late 1950s.

  • Smooth.

  • OH MAN!!!!!!!!!!

  • @flxible52 I believe it was1968

  • Supposedly after the Ink Spots appeared on his radio show, he later got them confused with the Mills Brothers.

  • Seeing this is like Christmas. Man, they were having a good time!
