  • The Ink Spots singing " If I Didn't Care"
    Here are the Lyrics:
    If I didn't care more than words can say
    If I didn't care would I feel this way?
    If this isn't love then why do I thrill?
    And what makes my head go 'round and 'round
    While my heart stands still?
    If I didn't care would it be the same?
    Would my ev'ry prayer begin and end with just your name?
    And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare?
    Would all this be true if I didn't care for you?
    MONOLOGUE: If I didn't care honey child, mo' than words can say. If I didn't
    care baby, would I feel this way? Darlin' if this isn't love, then why do I thrill so
    much? What is it that makes my head go 'round and 'round while my heart just stands
    still so much ?
    If I didn't care would it be the same?
    Would my ev'ry prayer begin and end with just your name?
    And would I be sure that this is love beyond compare?
    Would all this be true if I didn't care for you?

    Sounds like an opera. Bill Kenny had a voice like an angel. Unfortunately, he is almost completely forgotten these days, or rather his influence on music. Although many people know him and the Ink spots through Fallout, hardly anyone knows that Bill Kenny was the role model of Elvis and many others.

      This man sat the stage for EVERYONE not just Elvis. Clyde McPhatter, Eddie Kendricks, Jackie Wilson, Gene Mumford, Sonny Til, Tony Williams, Jimmy Beaumont, and Earl “Speedo” Carroll. That’s even. Cutting the list short! A lot of popular R&B and Doo Wop and even early rock stars took their delivery from Mr. Kenny.

    Bill Kenny singing lead along with Ink Spots are from Philly.
    And are thought of as one of the earliest vocal groups that lead to the great sound of the vocal groups from the late 40’s and through the 50’s.
    This song…just pure excellence ❤️
