[edit] Blade Runner soundtrack
Was "If I Didn't Care" actually used in Blade Runner? I remember an Ink Spots-sounding song from the original trailer, but upon purchasing the soundtrack many years later, I wonder if this was "One More Kiss, Dear." That song sounds a lot like the Ink Spots (though perhaps also like Rudy Vallee). In any case, the soundtrack CD that I own does not have an Ink Spots song. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 12:42, 6 July 2005 (I forgot to sign this at the time)
- According to IMDB this song was indeed "IF I DIDN'T CARE" Written by The Ink Spots Performed by The Ink Spots JayKeaton 17:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

- "One More Kiss Dear" is the track used in the Blade Runner film. The Ink Spots track was used in an early workprint, but replaced with the Vangelis track by the time the film was completed. ~CS 21:05, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Joe Versus the Vlocano
For the Cultural Use section, I believe their song "I Cover the Waterfron" was used in Joe Versus the Volcano.
[edit] Cultural Use section
Fixed some of the grammatical errors in that section, and removed the redundancy regarding the use of one of the songs in Fallout 3. Booticon 02:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bass guitar?
Did Jones really play a bass guitar (rather than a double bass)? Bass guitars were pretty rare until the late 1950s. AuntFlo (talk) 13:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Opening riff, spoken word, high voice
The distinctive features of the Ink Spots, in my opinion, are:
1. The opening riff to most of their songs is the same. 2. Almost all songs have a spoken word portion repeating the lyric. 3. The lead has such a high voice, he's higher than Ella Fitzgerald.
Anyone know where I can find a reference that might mention this? John Duncan (talk) 03:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
