The Ink Spots: "The Incomparable Ink Spots"



I was unable to discover for sure
when this album was released,
but most likely sometime in the
early to mid-1950s.
The Ink Spots were at the height
of their popularity in the 1940s.

The red vinyl LP below
is what was in this jacket
when I 'inherited' it.

Clearly,
it is not the platter that originally
came with the jacket.
This red LP is a Crown label
(not Craftsmen)
and it is a "Hits" compilation.

Dinah Shore: "Sings Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers"


Released in 1950
(near as I could tell from research).

Quite a leap from Olivia Newton-John in the previous post
to Dinah Shore in this one,
except that they both were bombshell phenomena
in their day.
If anything, Dinah Shore was even more of an icon.
