The Ink Spots
Starting their career in 1932 in Indiana, the Ink Spots rose to stardom in 1939 with their hit, "If I Didn't Care." The group continues to perform today, after several changes in membership. They were particular successful in the late 1940s and early 1950s, releasing such hits as "To Each His Own," "A Lovely Way to Spend an Evening," and "Into Each Life Some Rain May Fall." The Ink Spots had an enormous impact on the doo-wop groups of the 1950s, and were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1987 and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989. In 1959, The Ink Spots made an appearance at Lou’s Village beginning on September 1st.
