A few years back, the British alternative rock band
Radiohead put out a song called ‘You and Whose
Army?’ Radiohead’s guitarist, Jonny Greenwood,
later revealed that this track was inspired by the Ink
Spots and that his fascination with that mid-20th century
vocal group had infected the whole band. Why this connection
between five arty rockers from 1990s Oxford and four
proto-doowoppers from 1930s Indianapolis? Most likely,
Radiohead simply heard and loved what most people hear
and love in the Ink Spots’ music: warmth, wit,
tasteful musicality and unapologetic beauty. It is those
traits that gave the Ink Spots 19 U.S. Top Ten hits
between 1939 and 1949, caused generations of close-harmony
groups to follow their example.
