  1. "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" is a #jazzStandard with music by #DukeEllington. It was originally an instrumental entitled "Never No Lament", and in that form was first recorded by Ellington and his orchestra on May 4, 1940. It quickly became a hit after #BobRussell wrote the "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" lyrics for it in 1942. Two different recordings of "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", one by #TheInkSpots and the 1940 instrumental by Ellington's band.

  4. I've lost all ambition
    For worldly acclaim
    I just want to be the one you love.

    - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire, by by Bennie Benjamin, Eddie Durham, Sol Marcus and Eddie Seiler

    I love the iconic version of this song by The Ink Spots with my whole heart, and these lyrics run through my mind often.

  6. #Fallout always reminds me of the time I went a listened to a number of songs by #TheInkSpots in a row. It's obvious they're from a time before albums*: every song has the same intro, most have the same structure, and a number have the same chords. They get pretty repetitive pretty quickly.

    * (except those groups of 78s that came in an album, from where we get the name)

    Fantastic compilation that unfortunately does not exist on CD or streaming.
