A friend just emailed me one of those "Make you Feel Older Than Dirt" type surveys.
One of the questions was:
19. What was the name of the singing group that made the song "Cabdriver" a hit?
a. The Ink Spots
b. The Supremes
c. The Esquires
The correct answer is not listed. It was the Mills Brothers. (The test claims it was the Ink Spots...but according to their discography, they never recorded it.)
I have played "Scotch and Soda" a million times and often ask audiences who made it famous. I can't remember anyone coming up with the right answer.
