The Ink Spots vocal group had its origin in the early 1930s in Indianapolis and appeared regularly on WLW-AM in Cincinnati. The group bolted to national popularity with its recording of the ballad “If I Didn’t Care” in 1939. Between 1940 and 1949, The Ink Spots had more than 30 hits on the pop charts.
