More than words can say

by Marv Goldberg

More Than Words Can Say places the Ink Spots within the broader contexts of the entertainment industry, the music industry, and the recording industry. The reader will learn about the internal troubles within the group and their constantly shifting personnel. The book includes reviews of most of their recordings, as well as many of their appearances. Some reviewers loved them, some hated them; both kinds of reviews are incorporated for balance. The book also includes a complete discography, covering all recordings made and all records released on Victor and Decca between 1935 and 1954. Like any entertainment act, the Ink Spots did not exist in a vacuum. More Than Words Can Say also covers the ASCAP-BMI wars, the two Petrillo musicians strikes of the 1940s, and shellac rationing during World War II. Goldberg provides an ideal opportunity for fans to reminisce about the Ink Spots and learn more about them and how they fit into the larger scope of the entertainment industry of a now-past
