That's it...Your thread, Six...By the way, has anybody heard from Lavender lately ?

Correct, Six...Your thread.

"Do I Worry?" by the Ink Spots, one of the best singing groups ever, is correct...The guy on the left is Deek Watson, who later left the group because of a feud with Bill Kenny, the tall lead singer, and formed a group called "Deek Watson and The Brown Dots". He was the funny Ink Spot. He was later criticized by some African American groups for his moves and for making funny faces which they thought were demeaning. He died in Washington DC in 1969....The narrator, who looked like a young Paul Winfield, is Orville "Hoppy" Jones who died in 1944 at the height of the group's popularity. The guy on the far right is Charlie Fuqua, known as the silent Ink Spot, who usually introduced the songs with his guitar playing. He was drafted into the army in 1944 and came back later to rejoin the group...Here's the video:

Thanks, Miles...
Here's a very nice song from a black and white movie...
..."Though you treat me just like dirt,
Think I give a snap?
Are my feelings really hurt
When you're sitting on somebody else's lap?
Am I curious when the gossip flies?
Am I furious 'bout your little white lies?
When our evening ends
'Cause you've got a sick friend that needs you...."
Singer/singers, movie?

Here's a nice song by lyricist E.Y. Harburg:
"Everywhere and everyday
People point to me and say,
'There's the guy that's going down in history'.
How'd I do the things I did,
To every man and every kid
That seems to be the one absorbing mystery.
How did I get by when things weren't so hot?
Mr. Ripley you can believe it or not..."
Name the song, singer, and movie...For extra points, name the two other songs that the singer will always be remembered for...

The song was "For You, For Me, Forevermore" composed by George with lyrics by Ira Gershwin. It was sung by Dick Haymes and Betty Grable in the movie "The Shocking Miss Pilgrim", about a woman involved in the suffragette movement in the late 1800s.....The songs the Gershwins chose for the movie were leftover songs...Songs the brothers had made but never used...as a result of this "scraping the bottom of the barrel', none of the songs were memorable....However, here's a nice version by Andres Ascensio with a nice arrangement and pictures of George Gershwin:
