Wow . Hard to believe Jay was a rap fan last year . He's gone into this with an open mind . Now he's listening to and enjoying the platters . Hats off to you young man 😀
He's hearing music as a single thing rather than splitting it all up into genres or cool vs not cool or old vs current. In other words he's become a true music lover.
"... a rap fan." And a Raps fan, apparently.
50s was beautiful, cars and music
Yes, it's a beautiful thing.
You can be a rap fan and like other genres. 🤷🏻♂️
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.
Yeah, everything he just said
I remember them as one of the best groups of the 50s. Slow dancing to their songs was dreamy 🤗💙
Isn’t this song romantic….. so old school but so cool ! My mom loved this and would sing it very loudly! My sisters and I would laugh!
Yes the GREAT PRETENDER YES YES YES
Yes to all of these and more!! 😍
The look on your faces, when this song started was nothing short of priceless. No auto tune back then. Just PURE TALENT.
hear hear!
Amber fell in love as soon as the singing started, the look on her face was amazing, her reaction was one of a heart melting. Great reaction as always keep them coming.
Totally Agreed....I saw that
Loved Amber's jaw dropped.....at the first
I saw that too great to see that these youngsters are touched by such quality.
One of the most beautiful songs of all time. Period. "The Great Pretender" is another classic by them. The singer with the golden voice is Tony Williams.
Tony Williams is one of the greatest (and sadly overlooked) singers of the 20th Century.
His vocals are some of the finest in American music history.
Y'all better not forget about Sam Cooke👍
@@antonioiniguez1615 Sam Cooke. I remember when he died. It just didn't seem possible such a thing could happen to such a great talent.
Lmao!! 😊 I think Amber literally melted in her seat at the sound of his voice. 🫠😍
I saw Jay melt!!! XooX
Yeah I was thinkinging "It's ok Amber you can swoon if you want." :D
@@johnwoodworth9127 😆
@@lifewuzonceezr Did he? I miss that.
Yes! I love seeing these young women "swoon" and I am not sure they even knew what swooning was. LOL Love it.
Boy does this bring back memories. As a 73 old white dude, it does not matter what color we are -right?
Excellent reaction. Tony Williams was the Greatest! The Platters had so Much CLASS. Just loved them.
💯
The Platters remain one of the best vocal groups ever!!
“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.
I love "The Great Pretender"!!
I love all of those songs from The Platters!
@@catwhisperer9489 Oh yes!
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.
@@brachiator1 👍
You got to admit it ,our music back then was beautiful with so many talented singers !
The lead voice is the late great Tony Williams who was a superb tenor.The man was pure class,great diction,beautiful tone,breathing technique. His transition to the headnote was effortless.I have always suspected that this man had some experience in classical music.You should listen to My Prayer and Harbour Lights. Do this ASAP.
In the eighties, I was out with my parents for dinner at a pub with an old juke box and this song came on and I had to watch them make goo goo eyes at each other. They did not listen to music at home so I was surprised by their reaction. An epic love song is unforgettable. Oh. And another epic love song is Unforgettable by Nat K Cole.
Smoke gets in your eyes is their best.
Yes, yes, yes! Please react to Smoke gets in your eyes, then react to “Always” on your movie channel. You will NOT regret it. ❤️
@@melaniewirick6213, I was going to say the same thing. "Always" is a great movie.
Great song
I loved “Harbor Lights” as well..❤️🎶
@@melaniewirick6213 such a great movie!!! 😍
Tony Williams had one one of the most beautiful voices this World has ever heard!!
My parents, both in Heaven now, used to say that this was their song. Miss them a lot! God bless their souls! 🙏♥️
That's beautiful
The real beauty in this performance is that it comes directly from the singer’s throat into a microphone and on to acetate. Zero filters or enhancements, just the raw God Given talent of a remarkable human voice. Such a joy ✌️
You guys should react to more of The Platters…
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", "The Great Pretender", "You've Got The Magic Touch", "My Prayer", "You'll Never Never Know", "Twilight Time", "Enchanted", "Harbor Lights", "Ebb Tide"
🎸🤘
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Pretender! Pretender! Pretender!
Hard to believe you made it this long without a Platters reaction. (Not being critical.)
A bag of great performances.
Love Ebb Tide so much.
For people of my generation who danced to this at school "sock hops" the opening of this song STILL gives me goosebumps!!!
If you enjoyed this, you will REALLY enjoy The Platters version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." It truly showcases the fantastic voice of lead singer Tony Williams.
Do “My Prayer” please
No one to compare with Tony Williams besides rudy Lewis of the drifters
My Grandfather. ❤
Jay & Amber, you'll Love their "The Great Pretender", "My Prayer", "At Twilight Time", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch" and "You'll Never Never Know"!!!! One of my Mom's favorite groups!
edit- Tony Williams on lead vocals.
"At Twilight Time" YES!!!!!
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.
@@mikemaricle9941 Absolutely agree. I LOVE that song!!
"Ebb Tide", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "My Prayer", "Red Sails In the Sunset", "Twilight Time", "The Great Pretender", and "You'll Never Know", are great songs by The Platters...❤❤❤
Ebb Tide is so wonderful.
@@daz_n I play it every year for my parent's Wedding Anniversary... They loved The Platters
Tony Williams, one of the most beautiful voices of all times. No convincing required. Just closely listen to the quality of the voice. If you can't hear that,, you just haven't been alive long enough to know what astounding voice quality is. I was there. As you get older, you'll see.
It’s a shame that he was caught in a hotel with white women and you sure couldn’t do that in the 50s.
My Mom was a Huge Platters fan! She had every album. I got to see them live as a teenager with Mom. ❤
I still love them so much. ❤
Tony Williams was the lead singer (until 1960), leaving to begin a solo career. Sadly, he died of emphysema in 1992. This song was on the charts in mid-1955.
Loved the Platters. You should also react to them singing Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. They are magnificent. They had some great hits back in the day. Miss this music. Thanks for your reactions.
And then they need to watch Always.
“Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes” was my mom’s favorite song. Great songs
Tony Williams...singer....one of the greatest purest vocals in pop recorded history
It's a treat to watch your faces during the first 30 seconds of the song. Gobsmacked, comes to mind. ❤
Just watched your Fast Tines at Ridgemont High reaction and this song appears in one of my favorite films of all time AMERICAN GRAFFITI which is also a film about high schoolers in their last Sumner before going to college etc. It's a masterpiece directed by George Lucas so I hope you watch it. And the whole soundtrack is tremendous.
I have been hoping that American Graffiti would be showing up on their movie reaction channel. I agree, Robert about the soundtrack from American Graffiti....it is amazing. ✌️
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Agreed!
Classic movie with classic music and classic cars! They really need to check out American Graffiti. I gotta go watch their Fast Times reaction!! 🤩 I was hoping they would get it suggested to them, but honestly wasn't sure if they would like it or not.
One of my all time favorite movies! Just wrote a comment that I bought the American Graffiti soundtrack album once I had my own money, as I was about 12 when I saw the movie. What a cast, what a soundtrack, and I had a tremendous crush on John Milner in his yellow coupe 😊.
They were the epitome of this style in the 50s. I have their greatest hits. Any song you select is great. Try the Great Pretender and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.
My mum absolutely loved The Platters...she would melt at his voice...such beautiful voices
Wow, Look how beautiful they look! They just drip with Class and style back then.
And that smooth sound... awesome!
No duds with The Platters! Twilight Time gives me chills. I've always been fascinated with the fifties because of my folks 45 collection.
My folks had this on 78!
I am so happy you guys are experiencing this music and I can relive it with you
Yes me too. I never had kids and one of the things I miss the most from not having them is being able to introduce them to these great sounds! I cried and got goosebumps when I first watched these 2 young ones discovering this music.
@@courtneyhenley681 it is so wonderful watching them react and fall in love with older music. I also enjoy them watching movies now too.
Your faces tells it all at 1:51... love your channel!
Falling in love to the Platters beautiful music (Tony Williams lead) over decades 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Platters were THE superstar vocal group of the late '50s and early '60s. Immensely successful on the charts.
His voice is BUTTERY. "Smooth and sweet like butter".
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is striking! Tony Williams at his finest.
Tony Williams, the lead singer, has a great voice, love the Platters, a bunch of great songs.
The look on your faces when he started singing was priceless. You should check out more of these guys. You will not be disappointed.
"The great pretender" is my best song from The Platters. Love you both!
Almost angelic,choir like,brings tears to our eyes they were very popular way back many hits
Welcome to the greatest group with the smoothest singer of all time. To this day nobody has ever done it better. They have been my favorite group since I was a kid in the 60s
The Platters are LEGENDS!!!! (and one of my all time personal Favorites) They have so many amazing songs, TWILIGHT TIME, SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES and THE GREAT PRETENDER , a song covered by the Late Great FREDDIE MERCURY!!!!!!!
One of the greatest recordings EVER!!!! Thanks for playing it.
The Platters are my all time favorite group from the 50s, this is the era when I was growing up in my teen years! Love love love them !
What a gem! Unfortunately there won't be any music like this again. Tony had such an incredible beautiful voice one of the best👍
Oh Ya'll done good !!" My Prayer"" Great Pretender" "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" are some more from this iconic group!! Thank you Thank you!!!
My very favorite of this group's hits. Melts my heart every time.
"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is simply beautiful
My formative years were wrapped in the Platters velvety songs: "Twilight Time", "My Prayer" and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes". Enjoy the love they embrace.
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!👏👏
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.
Such an enduring classic. Doesn't really get much better than this.
When I was a kid, every adult had a Platters album. Tony Williams had the best voice from the fifties, period.
You need to listen to "Smoke gets in your eyes " by them . That is my favorite song from them .
The Platters are one of the best groups ever. Smoke gets in your eyes is a must listen to.
Another great singer of this era that I dont believe you have done is Jerry Butler "The Iceman" Wonderful voice. "For Your Precious Love" , " Let it Be Me", "Never Gonna Give You Up" are a few of his top hits.
The look on your faces when my man hits that note . Priceless
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".
Back when times were more pure and innocent. The Platters were my moms favorite. She passed in January. I’m tearing up. I love them. Smoke gets in your eyes. The great pretender. Those are two more that are just beautiful
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
These guys were even before my time, but my parents had an album with all their biggest hits. I knew every word to every song. Greatness! Thanks for playing the Platters.
The female in the group, Zola Taylor was one of Frankie Lymon"s wives.
“On My Word of Honour” is another great song of theirs
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 unequalled voice of Tony Williams. Sublime.
What I love more than this song is y’all’s facial expressions every time he hit those notes!
Someone already mentioned it in the comments… Legendary group, lots of hits, Lots to look forward to
My Dad’s favorite group… I remember him playing this when I was a kid. ❤️
Tony Williams probably the best sweetest perfect sound I’ve ever heard come out of a mouth ever! Perfection rip 🙏❤️
💯
The Platters music was played everywhere when I was young. They were a huge group. I loved slow dancing to their music 🎶. Very romantic.
I had older cousins that lived 3 houses away from our grandmother's, where I lived, and they were ALWAYS over. I was exposed to all of their music as a child, so I remember music that was a generation (the 50s) before mine (the 60s). The Platters were awesome. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and The Great Pretender were classic Platters, too.
The Platters are absolutely amazing. The great pretender, That magig touch. Just beautiful.
Beautiful vocals and since I was 6 years old in the 70s I was in love with that angelically gorgeous lady in the group.
The words to these songs are captivating. These songs are iconic.
This fantastic vocal group was formed in 1952, and they are one of the most successful vocal groups of the early Rock and Roll era. Their distinctive Doo-wop sound bridges the pre-rock Tin Pan Alley tradition and new Pop/Rock style, with the lead tenor Tony Williams vocals technique putting the cherry on the top of the cake. "Only you" was released in 1955 and it proves how musical masterpieces become immortal. Among other immortal masterpieces of The Platters, you should also react to "The great pretender" (1955 - Fred Mercury has a cover of this one), "Smoke gets in your eyes" (1958) or "I'm Sorry" (1954).
Please watch American Graffiti!! Jay will love the cars and the soundtrack! Their music is all through the movie.
Agree!!!✌️
Both of your face expressions when they begin to sing are priceless!!!!! Confirms the greatness of the Platters!!!
Tony Williams has one of -- if not the -- most beautiful voices in modern music. He was also a fabulous singer, which is a different skill altogether. "The Great Pretender" is my favorite Platters hit. And there are many! : )
“My Prayer” will always be my favorite by them. This is a close second. 💜
This one of my favorite slow dancing songs. Just cuddle up to your honey - get as close as possible without being tossed out and just barely move, taking small steps in a little circle. Oh yes the memories this song brings🥰
Louis Jordan - Is You Is Or Is You Ain't (My Baby)
Big Maybelle - I Don't Want to Cry
The Mills Brothers - I Heard
Etta James - All I Could Do Was Cry
Platters lead singer Tony Williams could give anyone a run for their money when it cames to singing....easily one of the best, if not the best, of the time
That's known as song styling. It's an art on its own.
Another two great songs in a similar vein are "I Only Have Eyes For You" by The Flamingos and "Stay in My Corner" by The Dells.
In 1974, December I think, they played a small club in Ketchikan, Alaska. Only about 200 of us in there, and we were encouraged to dance to their songs. My young bride and I absolutely loved it!!
Always loved the Platters. What a vouce and background. They were class and then some. This is talent. No one today can even come close
Another great vocal group of the day was The Coasters. "Poison Ivy" and "Charlie Brown" come to mind.
The Platters were one of my parents' favorite groups. I think I have a couple singles by The Platters from their collection. Such talent.
The Platters were so special! Love songs so beautiful they make you cry. I've been listening to them for 60 years and they never get old!
I'm 72 years old and I remember my Parents slow dancing around the kitchen when this came on the radio, he died in 1992 but Mom is still with us at 93.
Probably my earliest memory-age 6-of sitting and listening to music was of my dad’s Greatest Hits by The Platters. Every song is great.
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.
This is the music that moves me ...its loving gentle yet powerful at the same time
This is one of the greatest songs of all time
The Platters was one of the best groups of the 50s. Others have recommended some of their great songs. Any one you pick would be great but one song that doesn't get mentioned often is their version of House of the Rising Sun with a female lead. That is by far my favorite version of a wonderful song.
Hi Jay and Amber! Thank you for reacting to one of my favourite older bands! Glad you like the lead singer, Tony William’s voice! Pure SILK! LOVE your channel! Peace and Blessings to you and your beautiful family from Australia.
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.
Back in 1964 I was 14 years old working in a detail shop. Me and 15 black guys. They messed with me for awhile til they heard me sing. I've been a big soul music guy my whole life. Me and 3 other guys used to sing this one on breaks. I miss those guys.
