Mr.

Kenny, who died Saturday, grew up in west Baltimore before setting out on his musical career with the group in 1944. His brother, Bill, sang tenor lead for the group, and they produced numerous hit songs on the Decca label, the most memorable being If I Didn't Care. The Ink Spots performed nationally and internationally with the likes of Count Basie, Lena Horne, Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway and Dinah Washington. The Ink Spots also were considered pioneers and role models for groups that followed, such as The Platters, The Penguins, The Drifters and The Temptations. 'Important chapter' "The Ink Spots were an important chapter in modern American music," said Steve Cochran, former program director of a Baltimore radio station.

"They defined what a vocal group could be, substituting beautiful voices for instruments." Mr. Kenny was born in Philadelphia and moved with his family to Baltimore when he was 5 years old. He joined the Ink Spots as a replacement for Orville "Hoppy" Jones, who died onstage in 1944. Besides Mr. Kenny's brother, the other members of the group were Charlie Fuqua and Billy Bowen.

Besides the group's classic hit If I Didn't Care, the Ink Spots sang A Kiss and a Rose, The Gypsy, We Three and Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall. At the height of their popularity, they played all of the major clubs and theaters in the United States and Europe. The group disbanded in 1951, although other singers calling themselves the Ink Spots still occasionally appear around the country. From 1952 through 1957, Mr. Kenny sang solo.

Later, he worked in radio as a program director at a Washington, D.C., station until 1966. His daughter, Daphne Jackson, said he was a car salesman for several years in Washington but retired to his Columbia home and sang part time in area clubs. 35 IN THE MARKET FOR A MOWER?
