“Flying Home: Harlem Heroes and Heroines (Downtown and Uptown)” (1996), Faith Ringgold’s mosaic artwork at 125th Street (2/3) station, honors notable figures of Harlem’s past and makes them fly, keeping the life and spirit of these influential people alive. Pictured here flying above the Apollo Theater, which is currently celebrating its 85th Anniversary, are Dinah Washington, Florence Mills, Ralph Cooper, Billie Holiday and The Ink Spots. A selection of Ringgold’s work inspired by her relationship with jazz and the rich cultural and political heritage of the neighborhood is on exhibit at the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling in “Sugar Hill Songbook: Select Work by Faith Ringgold”  through March 31. #BlackHistoryMonth

Record 2658. #TheInkSpots #TheInkSpotsInHiFi The magnificent Ink Spots, starting in the 1930's the vocal group went through many line ups, and were the original protype for Rock & Roll and Rhythm & Blues. Listening to this record I'm going to guess this is a collection of tracks from the 40's. I first heard The Ink Spots on The Signing Detective soundtrack, so if you've seen the original series that would give you a feel of their sound. #inkspots #thesingingdetective #billkenny #vocaljazz #doowop #soul #rhythmandblues #vinyl #records #nowspinning #vinyljunkies #recordcollection #vinyligclub https://www.instagram.com/p/ChjtWURPHkp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
