MUSIC: "My Prayer" performed by the Ink Spots

So Beautiful

I was probably the only 14 year old boy

Who was listening to The Ink Spots in the early 1970's

I don't remember how I came by listening to them

I am sure it had to do with my love of Swing Music

However I found out about them

(seems like my father mentioned them)

I got this album and wore it out

Listening to these wonderful songs over and over

"Bill Kenny's unsullied, poignant tenor and the sonorous recitatives of bass Hoppy Jones were winning trademarks of the Ink Spots at their peak. "My Prayer" was an elegant favorite in 1939 and one of the first songs broadcast over early American television...featured at the 1939 World's Fair. Later, in the 1950's, this song was a major hit for The Platters."
