Ray Richardson's Canadian Ink Spots™
By 1954, Charlie Fuqua and Deek Watson had each formed their group called The Ink Spots and Bill Kenny was working solo as "Mr. Ink Spot." Kenny's hit recordings in the U.S. include "It Is No Secret" with the Song Spinners and " That's Just My Way of Forgetting You ". It was in 1954 that Lorenzo Conyers joined Deek Watson's Ink Spots as first tenor (lead). Ray Richardson began working with Charlie Fuqua's Ink Spots in 1961. A decade later, Ray became the leader of  this group.

In 1960, Lorenzo was introduced to Ray by Bernie Mackey, who had been a guitarist with The Ink Spots and in l965 Lorenzo began performing with Ray Richardsons Ink Spots, until his death in l999.
