Ink Spots--Flowers Mr. Florist Please

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.

I had the great pleasure of perfoming with Harold Jackson back in 1997 when he reformed the ink Spots. We played 1 gig in Burbank. I was the youngest member of the group. What a blast that was. Sadly I could not continue with the group. It was amazing to work with him. He still has that deep voice.

Jimmy Holmes (lead singer) made this Ink Spots group what it was but never became famous for it. This of course is not the original Ink Spots but Charlie Fuquas Ink Spots. One track from this album (Am I Too Late) isnt on Youtube for some reason.

This is my absolute favorite so far. I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire was my first love, but this.... This is just brilliant.
