Elijah Levi (Vocalist)

"The man with the golden throat" has been the

lead tenor for the legendary Chicago based Ink Spots for more than a dozen

years, touring the United States and Canada. Levi was part of the Ink Spots in

the 1980s that recorded several albums together. It was in 1934 that four

porters working at the Paramount Theater in New York decided to form a vocal

group with Ivory "Deke" Watson as the leader. For over 50 years, the faces have

changed but the sound is still true Ink Spots. Their current CD and video is

titled "Classic Ink Spots." Levi's unique voice and style has found a new home

with Yoko Noge's Jazz Me Blues Band.

Elijah Levi is featured with the band on their release, "Thrill

Me." and toured Japan with the group in November, 1997.
