Description

We're looking back at the life and music of vocalist Jerry Daniels, a founding member of the world-famous Ink Spots. 

The Ink Spots were founded around 1933 by four young Indianapolis singers, Deek Watson, Orville Jones, Charlie Fuqua, and Jerry Daniels. They would go on to become one of the most influential acts in American music, inspiring an entire generation of doo-wop, R&B, and rock and roll musicians. In 1989 the Ink Spots were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the only Indianapolis act to receive this honor. Jerry Daniels left the Ink Spots in 1936, though his time with the group was short, he played a large role in establishing their unique sound.

Join us for music from Daniels, featuring his early work with the Ink Spots, and his last recordings during the 1980s.
