Priceless footage of original Ink Spots member Jerry Daniels in the recording studio with Nate Williams' Ink Spots from 1988. Jerry Daniels was with The Ink Spots from their beginning but left in 1936 to be replaced by Bill Kenny. In 1937 Daniels formed The Three Spades, a group with which he recorded. After a short stint together, the group disbanded. Sometime later he formed a group called Mr. Words, Mr. Music and Mr. Strings that performed in Indianapolis until the end of 1942. Daniels was drafted into the army in 1943, attended the University of Indiana after the war, taught piano and guitar at the MacArthur Conservatory of Music in Indianapolis and wrote a music column for the Indiana Herald. He was proclaimed a Sagamore of the Wabash in 1988 by the governor of Indiana for distinguished service to the State and was awarded a key to the City of Indianapolis in 1992.
