Signed by Stephenson with inscription, foot of spine worn, else, great. DJ rubbed, NOT price clipped, small chip at head of spine, rubbed extremities. Deek Watson started out as a member of a coffee pot band called the "Percolating Puppies" that played on the street corners of Indianapolis about 1928. After some time on his own (according to his book, he worked at Madame Walker's Ballroom where he danced, sang, acted as floor manager and gave dancing lessons on a part-time basis while he was still in school), he became a member of the "Four Riff Brothers" about late 1932. This group performed around Indianapolis and later did more than 60 radio shows over WLW(Cincinnati) from early February to early September 1933. Again according to his book, Deek went out on his own in Cleveland playing solo at the Glove Theater and Mama Louise's Supper Club. In Cleveland, he met Jerry and Charlie and they formed a trio in the fall of 1933 which at first may have been called the Gates Brothers but soon became better known as the "King, Jack and Jester." This group moved to Cincinnati about the end of 1933 and began regular broadcasts over WLW and WSAI. Between 27Dec/33 and 1Jul/34, they performed in about 200 fifteen minute shows. At the beginning, Deek Watson may have been the main force behind the Ink Spots as he suggests in his book. Certainly, he was one of the major components of what became known as the Ink Spots style. This style included Bill Kenny's high tenor, Hoppy Jones talking chorus and Deek's jivey parts and his mannerisms. For good or bad, he was certainly the most noticeable Ink Spot because of these mannerisms including rolling his eyes, waving his hands (something Bill Kenny was accused of also) and the comments he made during performances such as; "home cookin" and "it's in the bag."
