1) The Ravens were an R&B vocal group. They were formed in 1945 by Jimmy Ricks and Warren Suttles. They were structurally similar to The Ink Spots, especially in their combination of high tenor (Maithe Marshall) and deep bass (Ricks), but their material was more varied, including elements of pop, jazz, R&B, and gospel styles.
Although they had excellent lead tenors (Maithe Marshall, and later, Joe Van Loan), the Ravens primarily existed to showcase bass singer Jimmy "Ricky" Ricks. In this, they were so successful, that Ricks' voice became the standard against which every rhythm and blues bass was measured for the next generation. It is not an exaggeration to say that every aspiring rhythm and blues singer with a low voice wanted to sound like Ricks. His voice was so deep and rich, however, that few even came close; no one surpassed him. In spite of this, the Ravens had few chart hits, although they were very popular at appearances.
The group's greatest successes were in the late 1940s, including covers of "Ol' Man River" (1947) and "Count Every Star" (1950). They had continued success into the 1950s, but Suttles left the group in 1954 and Ricks in 1955. The group continued on for some time thereafter, with various changes in personnel, but it was never as successful or influential as before.

Once In A While
The Ravens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One little thought to me
Though someone else may be
Nearer your heart?
Once in a while will you dream
Of the moments I shared with you
Moments before we two
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
That spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
In love's smoldering ember
One spark may remain
If love still can remember
The spark may burn again
I know that I'll be contented
With yesterday's memory
Knowing you think of me
Once in a while
The Ravens' song Once in a While is a melancholic ballad about reminiscing a lost love. The lyrics of the song convey a sense of longing and hopefulness, suggesting that the singer still holds onto a faint glimmer of hope that their lost love might think of them from time to time. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but they can be seen as a plea to the lost love to remember the good times they shared and to consider rekindling their relationship, even if it is only in memory.
The opening verse of the song highlights the singer's desperation to be remembered by their lost love. The lyric "once in a while will you try to give one little thought to me" speaks to the singer's hope that their lost love still thinks of them from time to time, even if they have moved on to another relationship. The chorus of the song talks about the remnants of love still burning within them, "in love's smoldering ember, one spark may remain, if love still can remember, the spark may burn again." The lyrics suggest a hope that lost love may still be rekindled, albeit through memories and recollections of time spent together.
Overall, the song is a somber reflection on a lost love and the fragility of relationships. The lyrics are poignant, and the ballad is delivered with such soulful harmonies that it makes for a song to remember.
