    The Platters are one of the greatest vocal groups of The 20th Century.
    "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "The Magic Touch", " My Prayer ", " Twilight Time" are among their best recordings. However, "The Great Pretender" might be the greatest recording of all-time.
    Legendary group.

    “Platter” commonly known as a record player’s turntable that spins vinyl discs. Hence, The Platters name was born! Shortly before going into the studio to re-record Only You for Mercury Records, 15-year-old Zola Taylor joined the all-male vocal group breaking the gender divide, a rarity back in the 1950s. In 1955, Only You (and You Alone) was played on the radio by legendary DJ Alan Freed, launching The Platters to the top of the U.S. music charts! Considered the most romantic of all the early rock & roll groups (that is, the ultimate in “make-out music”), The Platters produced hit after hit. The quintet effortlessly achieved domestic and international chart success with multiple tracks, including the timeless hits The Great Pretender, My Prayer, Twilight Time, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Harbor Lights, and many more. This success established The Platters as the classiest, groundbreaking vocal group of the early rock & roll era. Lead singer Tony Williams.

      That is ALAN FREED who introduced them and then sat down between that couple that arrived during the song. ALAN FREED started out as a DJ in my hometown of CLEVELAND, OHIO and was the person who coined the phrase "ROCK AND ROLL" and held the FIRST "ROCK AND ROLL BALL here in Cleveland at the Cleveland Arena in the early '50s, it was called the "MOONDOG BALL" He grew up in Salem, Ohio which is about an hour drive southeast of Cleveland.

    Thank you for the Platters. Had a huge impact on R&B and Rock and Roll. Smoke gets in your eyes is also a great song.

    The great Tony Williams, one of the 4 great singers of the early do-wop/R&B era, and one of the great pop singers of all time. Listen to The Platters do "Twilight Time", "My Prayer", and of course the great "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".

    No one’s voice comes close to matching Tony Williams combination of power and smoothness. It is really a one-of-a-kind voice.

    My husband & I were just talking about this fabulous group, after hearing them sing this, one of our old faves from way back. We never knew back in the 50s, 60s & 70s just how fortunate we were to have the opportunities we did to hear the golden music from that time. Oh, we loved & appreciated the songs, singers, bands and all - but we didn't realize it would go away, never to come again in such wonderful quality/quantity. However, we do know just how blessed we are to have our many reactors, and the ability to watch younger people like Rob Squad hear that great music for the first time all over again! It's truly an amazing experience, and we can have it over and over again. Thanks! Love you guys!👏👏

    Check out Little Richard - Long Tall Sally, these are my two favourite songs. Released around the same time, 50s.
    Remember I was in the pub one day a the person I was with put this on, nearly fell out my seat. The amount of vibrato he does in this song is amazing. Great reaction guys

    I was born in the early 50's but I remember these songs because my mother loved them. The Platters, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathers and many others. Elvis came along a little latter and I fell in love with him at 6 years old. I had two teen age sisters in the 50's so I heard all the rock and roll songs on the stereo.

    Suggestion for your movie reactions: Always- 1989. It's a romantic movie staring Richard Dreyfus and Holly Hunter. Classic movie star Audrey Hepburn's last role was in this movie. She was brilliant, as always. (If you aren't familiar with her, also see Roman Holiday or Sabrina) The reason I mention it is the movie features The Platters throughout. Great tunes used perfectly in this film.

  • @marymiller4494

    My mom used to listen to The Platters when I was a little girl and I loved them and hearing them now makes me remember sitting on the living room floor while their albums were playing, along with so much other music both my mom & Dad listened to. All genres, I was so lucky they had such eclectic taste on music... Which is where my love of all music comes from. I don't know what I'd do without music everyday in my life. Your reactions are so very real and I love to see you both discover new songs and artists daily and I believe you guys also cannot go a day without listening to a song or a hundred songs each & every day. ✌️❤️ 🎶

    The Platters are my mom's favorite group. She was in her teens and early 20s when they were at the top of the charts. She used to hum "Twilight Time", "The Great Pretender", "Only You" when she would cook saturday morning breakfast. I'm happy you enjoyed them too. Check out The Ink Spots.

    The female singing background was Zola Taylor who was married to Frankie Lymon who was in the group Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers. They had a huge hit when he was just 13 years old called Why Do Fools Fall in Love.

    Fun fact about this group: They were portrayed in the film “ Why Do Fools Fall In Love” about the tragic story of Frankie Lymon (Lorenz Tate) with Halle Berry starring as Lola from the Platters. She was one of the three women Frankie was married to and illegally married to two other women.
