Ink Spots--Ebb Tide

When Charlie Fuqua left Bill Kenny's group, he sang with Deek Watson in group DW #3. Leon Antoine replaced Deek and this group had a successful recording career with King Records. Antoine and Essex or Essix (spelled both ways) seemed to alternate recordings and the King labels listed the group members on the label. The first record lists no members but the 2nd thru 4th list Antoine. The next two list Scott and the Antoine returns. They released 9 singles in all and all are quite good. 'Melody Of Love' is recorded twice, once with a saxophone break and once without.
