December 1994
Formed in the early fifties, the Inkspots were the most dynamic singing combination of their time. They became hugely popular for their unique sound - African rather than American. With a string of hit records to their name, and appearances in films such as the famous 'Jim Comes to Jo'burg' they became one of the most formidable groups of their time.
I am an Afrikaner, a Boer, and I am so sad about those times. First of all for these poor people who had to struggle so hard to make a decent living under Apartheid, but no less for the Afrikaners who were deprived of this lovely part of our shared history. The black people lost a generation, and we were deprived of this beautiful music.

Watched Dolly and The Ink Spot on Mzanzi last night and you could tell their faces tells a million stories. I couldn't help but sympathizing with the struggles and adversities they faced during the era of apartheid, oppression and deprivation. My heart felt like melting to think what they would have achieved if they were in our generation one thing is for sure they were very talented. What amazes me even more is that they are still friends are continues to sing at dolly's Tavern.

I hope I never hear a single note sung by lifehouse again. I get so fed up with their ads on youtube. It's soooooo obnoxious.
