I'm an old white woman and grew up listening to all the black singers from the 50's 60's... I have a 78 vinyl collection of over 50 albums. Makes my heart jump to see young folks finally hearing these irreplaceable groups of that time period.
Amen sister!!
Sooo right!! Noone sings like this anymore! And i so wish i had your record collection! VINTAGE!! 💜
You are not alone, ma'am. Same here.
There was never a difference whether a group was black or white, at least in my house. Born in “57,” next to Asbury Park, so I saw lots of artists at the Paramount and Convention Hall. I watched Where the Action Is, on television, along with, American Bandstand and Soul Train, and my parents encouraged it. We watched Ed Sullivan, and saw all the latest acts, of every color. My Dad was a Cop and he was at the Asbury Park riots, and came home telling me that when people are ignored for hundreds of years, riots can happen. He and my Mom had black friends throughout their lives, and even had a black friend that was a club owner, and so the often went to their club. What the hell has happened to us? It is just so sad.
@@ruthfiedler9686 we're letting other people tell us what to think of each other and how treat each other.
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and The Great Pretender are two of their biggest songs
Oh man! I LOVE Smoke Gets in Your Eyes!!
I still have their album
And for good reason... They are absolutely masterpieces. 👌🏽👌🏽
Yes, I would add: ♥ Twilight Time ♥, My Player and Only You ... I am Brazilian and I always remembered those songs when I was hitchhiking in the night in places with dirt roads, fields, woods ... I imagined the their songs being sung in some distant wooden house with only one lamp on that night of total darkness ... because it is as nostalgic, soft and beautiful as a cool night in the open country
Always. The movie I mean.
Straight talent, no auto tuned needed.TALENT
Didn't even have auto tune then. Raw, God given talent. You definitely had to know how to sing.
This is not a human voice !!!!
It was a recording of the studio version
Another Platters classic is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.
That one is a MUST.
YESSSSS
Absolutely!!
Love that one!!
Platters were the cream of the crop of vocalist groups.Tony Williams was amazing.
Finally a younger person that appreciates their history, He almost broke down talking about our treatment, lol he think any harder he gonna be reacting to the blues,
The Platters....Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.....his voice is one for the ages.
So many more. Just search Motown and you can’t go wrong.
Loved the Stylistics and Delphonics too.
Absolutely!
Back when they had style, class and talent.
@@waltreed2578 so did the BeeGees!
Kathy here - I am a 68-year-old white woman, not that color matters, but this is the music my parents listened to, danced to, had parties in the house and took the furniture out to the garage and open up the living room for friends to dance. My dad would put on this album, let me stand on his feet and slow dance, before me and my sister had to go to bed. What memories this brings back. So glad to see the younger generation discover music from the "old" days! Yes, their harmonies were great, and they were one of the most popular bands in their day. The were actually considered to be a "rock n roll band" back then. LOL Thanks for your reaction and loved YOU actually reacting to it also. You need to check out Smoke Gets in your eyes, it's amazing.
Another good one is I Only Have Eyes For You By The Flamingos
My favorite of all time. I was born in 1953 and remember this like it was yesterday
The Platters were a super group and a class act for all time. A beautiful love song and Tony Williams, with the voice of an angel! Pure heaven!!!
All great songs with beautiful lyrics and background music. No nasty words just sweet talk every lady wants to hear.
The lead singer is Mr. Tony Williams - the Man with the golden voice ! ! !
A fantastic choice! This is a clip from a movie. The guy who introduced them is Alan Freed, a famous radio disc jockey who promoted rock & roll & R&B in the 1950s. The white middle aged audience is there to tell folks that this music is non-threatening.
Alan Freed the Blacks, I guess.
Beginning to realize why most of us "old" folks haven''t heard anything in last 40 years that we really want to listen to
THIS is real singing.....Tony and Ray Charles and Stevie are just out of this world talent.
Nat King Cole -"unforgettable", enough said.
Great reaction btw👍
From an old white guy living in a rural area, I completely agree with you that you need to do more reactions to black artists from the 50's - 80's. There must be 500 famous black artists with 1000 famous songs in 3 or 4 diff genre's of music during those 4 decades. Both black and white music was just incredible for those 4 decades.
Man I love old R&B/Motown music. I suggest you check out the Four Tops, The Miracles. Or Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Ruffin. Too many great voices to pick a favorite.
Smokey Robertson, Little Anthony and the Imperials
Smokey Robinson. Tracks of my tears. Keep going ! Love reaction and Motown
I am glad that these young reactors are discovering the roots of music. Forget whether it is black or white music. Music has no color it is a kaleidoscope.
Sam Cooke You Send Me is great. He had many hits and left his mark. He died young.
I was a teenager in the age of rock and roll. We danced to and cheered both black and white singers and groups. Bought their records. We didn’t care what color they were.
These singers, and many from Motown, are what helped start the Civil Rights movement. It goes to show how much influence music has on everyone.
My mom absolutely loves the Platters. I appreciate them and like their music. The helped pave the way for other talent down the road.
This is what's missing in music now...pure talent and romance. Love your reaction.
Yes that's what we old folks need. The O'Jays live from daryls house love train next please.
The Platters were awesome. Perfect diction, great voices, and upright elegance.
Still love to slow dance to this after 36 years of marriage! The power of natural talent is palpable 💘💘💘😽
This song has been popping up everywhere now, it's in games, movies, and series. An amazing song
You want to hear SINGERS, VOCALISTS this is the era!
This was the late 50's early 60's
Even earlier late 30's and the 40's. You HAD to have talent, there was nothing to cover up what you lacked.
I absolutely adore the Platters!
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is just beautiful!
Oh yes. I'd love to see Twon do the Carpenters recording of the 1938 big band ballad standard "I Can Dream, Can't I" from 1975, for example. For a guy who's all of 21, that would be a double timewarp, because 1975 is 46 years ago and then the song was 37 years older than that...BTW the Platters often recorded songs from that era as well, beautifully, carefully written songs that stand the test of time...
NO AUTOTUNE!! Just RAW TALENT!! The guys voice is AMAZING!! 👏
Crazy good group! I grew up in the best music time of all time, Black, White didn’t matter...loved the 60’s and 70’s.
I'm so glad you did this one . I love the Platters so much. Much respect!
Tony Williams the most underrated vocalist in music history
Old groups of the 50s 60 s were fantastic singers you could listen to this all day never ever getting tired of this sound. Beautiful people and entertainers!❤️❤️❤️
Most establishments had separate bathrooms for clientele and the kitchen staff (who were mostly people of color). Black artists that performed in these places were treated very poorly. The Platters came around just prior to the Civil Rights movement. A fabulously talented group who's popularity transcended race; which was a huge statement at that time about their talent.
They were treated poorly in the South, the only segregated facilities were down South, I have no doubt that Platters were paid well for this performance, they were all over radio and TV. The black community was better off then in many ways, today is much worse, black families are atomized today.
@@davisworth5114 just seeing this. There was plenty of segregation up North. Growing up in New York I remember my Black friends were not allowed in the community swimming pools and were barred from buying their own homes. These “ covenants” were artfully buried - so not as obvious.and those are only two examples. Read about what happened in Boston when busing was instituted. Mob riots and destruction by white people against Black folks just trying to go to school.
You only hold a people back when you are scared of their potential and you are insecure.
@@TheDivayenta I grew up in Seattle and spent a lot of time around people of all races at ball games, riding trains, and playing sports when I was a kid. There were no segregated facilities. I never saw a single racial incident back in the day, and I never saw or heard any racist acts when I was in Army training down South and in Vietnam. You don't have to lecture me, I saw Satchel Paige pitch when I was a kid and I've been a blues player for fifty years and a student of black music and history. Keep it about the music, black musicians were the main reason the races started coming together in America. We know blacks are the best musicians, that's why we copy them, that's where rock and roll came from, white guys trying to play and sound black. Didn't you know that?
That's the History some folks dont know about or the extent of limitation black artist and groups endured. Thumbs up Malcolm!
A pure Classic!!!! Awesome reaction!
Please check out The Great Pretender. My favorite song by the Platters.
This is why I listen to 50's 60's on Sirius while driving. Sorry, but I can't get into today's music. Check out Little Anthony and the Imperials and The Shirelles.
Their harmony is so perfect.
YOUNG BLOOD I'M 64 YRS OLD AND THIS WAS MY MOMS MUSIC. IT'S SAD THAT SO MANY YOUNG FOLKS TODAY THINK THAT WHATS MADE TODAY IS ALL THERE IS TO MUSIC. WHEN WE WERE TEENS IN THE 70'S WE KNEW OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS MUSIC. IT'S WHERE WE COME FROM, OUR MUSIC, OUR FOOD.
This was before my time but heard it on an oldies station on the radio. Makes one swoon! 😻 Magic! Pure and simple! You 💓
I am 45 and that song was there all my life somewhere; radio, tv, movies... A Classic
This comes from the 1956 movie "Rock Around The Clock", the man introducing The Platters here is legendary disc jockey, and radio personality Alan Freed, who made several movies like this. Alan Freed is considered a very important person as far as integration,and breaking down racial barriers in music He was one of the first people to have black and white rhythm and blues ,and rock and roll musicians both on the same concert stage, and play them on his radio shows, although concert promoters like John Hammond, another legenary figure you should know, were doing this with jazz musicians in the 1930s.
The Platters are a group who were very popular in their time, and sold millions of records all over the world, in their time, but are largely forgotten by younger audiences. Check out the second Platters group from the late 60s. A more soulful group, with only two original members. Recommeded song "With This Ring".
I've got 72 Summers on the books and I grew up with this music back in the day we listen to these song mostly on transistor radios the music wasn't black or white it was either good or wasn't good and the platters were one of the the best. You looking back almost 60 years in history the country has progressed from then
I ❤ playing these reactions for my mom, who just turned 76, because I know it will bring back wonderful memories and great stories.
This music is before my time but I grew up on it because of my parents. I've always thought this to be one of the most beautiful songs in the world. 💗 Your reaction at 3:20 was perfect. It's my favourite part.
One of the best vocal groups of all time. Tony Williams voice is unmatched by no one. I have their 1st album It's simply called the Platters and it is very rare
One of my favorite song of all time by them.. 🤩
Tony Williams, what a friggin voice...lots of falsetto
One of the few avenues for black human beings to profitably express excellence back in those days was to hone and perfect and perform with abandon. Whether it was singing or dancing black folk created magic.
When i was a teenager the Platters were my favorites. I would stay in my room fo hours listening to their beautiful music. Im so happy to see young people are discovering the great oldies but goodies. Enjoy❤❤❤❤
So refreshing to see a cool young brother appreciate music my mom grew up loving. Thank you Twon! My mom is looking down and smiling because of you. RIP Momma!
The incomparable Platters..their sound was amazing.
Being 72, songs like this one and great groups like The Platters are a significant part of my childhood. Thank-You.
My mom and dad LOVED this group. Undeniable talent.!!!
Tony Williams had one of the most beautiful Voices this World has ever heard!
One of my favorite songs of all times. Such harmony and talent.
The lead singer is the late Tony Williams. The lady in the group use to be married to Frankie Lymann from the young group ....Frankie Lymann and the Teenagers.
I love that you’re going back and discovering all this music. My father swore by 3 artists...The Platters, The Bee Gees and Sam Cooke. I highly recommend Sam Cooke if you haven’t reacted to him yet. ‘Bring it on home to me’, ‘A change is gonna come’ and ‘Wonderful World’ are 3 of my favorites. His voice will send you. Promise.
I have chills ,so beautiful,so talented ,we need more music like this ,so good for the soul !
that high falsetto that sounds so difficult requires a lot of breath control and support to get that full body sound.
You really are great !……… you REALLY feel the Music... I was a little kid when these guys were performing and I still remember how great they were...The Best Doo Wop Group EVER !!!……… and I’m a Classical Pianist with a Masters Degree from Juilliard.....I just Subscribed to Your Channel !……… you have to listen to Harry Nilsson. “ Can’t Live Without You “.... you will flip !
1955. The beginning of rock and roll. One of the great groups. So many hits.
The Platters are the real deal! Their music was responsible for a whole lot of young love back in the day. Just remember that this is true talent. No auto tune and any other fake crap. The Platters are just magnificent! Thanks for listening and reacting to the music of my youth!
I can’t believe I still remember every single word of this song! I love them! 💕
Motown had a succession of brilliant acts on their label back in the day, in fact you could do just Motown reactions and never think of stopping. Great singers, great bands, great.
Thank you if you show more music. Like this you will make all of us grandmas happy--
.I always feel bad for you
. kids today
I'm 67 years young and I'm loving all your reaction videos. I've listened to this music from my teens and still do now. I have original albums of all these singers 60+ albums and play them regularly, this was the era of live music no auto tune when they were on stage they had to bring it on and they did. You have an old soul and a beautiful smile keep on listening.
Old white guy here... Young man, I absolutely love your videos. You're excitement to music I grew up with is a joy to see,
I've always loved this man's world class voice!
Twon, great reaction to A Classic Group that will last forever. They had so many great songs you can react to. Just to put a little perspective on the environment you noticed, these guys were playing to our parents in this video but to the kids at that time like myself they were changing the way we saw things because they were so cool. We appreciated their talent and they actually were game changers back in the late 50's. They will always be class and classic. I can see that you see it too. Love ya for that my man.
I adore The Platters. Sibling harmonies cannot be beat
Now this is music ... loved The Platters back in the day! Slow dancing to their great tunes was the best !
The great Tony Williams and The Platters. Tony was easily one of the 4 or 5 great pop/rock voices of the 50's and into the 60's. The others were Jackie Wilson (try him doing the live black and white version of "To Be Loved" and "Lonely Teardrops"), Sam Cooke, the first "soul" singer (try him doing "You Send Me", "Bring It On Home To Me", and "A Change Is Going To Come") and Clyde McPhatter (try "Lovers Question", and as the original singer of The Platters, "Treasure Of Love). As for more Tony Williams listen to "My Prayer" and "The Great Pretender". Yes, all of these performers were before The Righteous Brothers and all of these guys were their idols.
The Man who introduces them is Alan Freed who organized the first rock and roll shows in history. The music Freed played was all call rhythm and blues at the time. Freed (although disputed), then created the term rock and roll, after many white people complained about their youngsters listening to this music and began arresting black performers after shows, assaulting them, confiscating their money and raiding R&B shows around the country. The phrase rock and roll, used by black people, was in reference to the sex act, which must have been very funny to black performers at the time.
For a performance like this black performers had to enter through the back, usually through the kitchen, perform, and exit the way they entered. Black people were not allowed to use the bathrooms, eat at the tables, socialize, or exit through the front door. Black performers were occasionally allowed a meal in the kitchen, but only occasionally. But just look at the fit on everyone onstage. It's all fire.
When your heart is in music or any kind of performance Nothing will stop you. Not even racism. This group was always amazing. I still have their original albums.
Both of my parents were massive Doo-Wop fans when it began and still are. They raised me on so many great Doo-Wop groups and no matter how many times I listen to them, they still make me swoon. There's so many other groups you should check out from that genre. The Platters, The Flamingos, The Coasters, The Contours, Del-Vikings, Five Sarins, The Monotones, and sooooo many more!
Love the Platters, Righteous brothers, Timi Yuro, all great singers
Sloooow dancing music. The best ever.
No auto-tune here. Nothing but pure, unbelievable talent. Enjoy.
"Twilight Time" and "My Prayer" are two of my favorites.
Yes, black performers came in through the back door, could not use any facilities, and though they were loved, it was as entertainment, not necessarily as human beings. Just remember, we're talking about clubs not in the deep south, but in Hollywood, New York, Chicago, and every other big city. This movie wasn't shot in Podunk, Georgia or Bug Tussle, Mississippi. Thank goodness this all changed when I was young. It was tough times, but hard times make strong men and women and strong men and women make good times. Unfortunately, good times make weak men and women, and weak men and women again make hard times. Be strong, young man. Don't go down the rabbit hole of resenting the past. The past is what made the future you're now living. Keep making it better.
Omg. I love your reactions to these oldies. You are so adorable Twon. It’s in your soul. More ! ❤️🔥
The Platters were some great singers, and classy as hell.
Vile times!!
I have lissen to The Platters since i was very young,my mom idol and we played smokes get in your eyes on her funeral
So beautiful music 😍
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
This group were my personal fav,they were just brilliant.im sure people like you could bring these groups back,nothing like the 50s.Thanks
What an amazing singer Tony Williams was. Loved your genuine reaction.
OMG loved your reaction- it was magic! I have loved The Platters for decades, glad another generation is discovering baby boomers music world!!☮️🥰🎶
Groups back in the day was real. Love them and it was there true beautiful voices. Your so dang cute, I love your reactions❤
Tony Williams tenor is perfect. The Great Pretender is a must listen.
The quality of the vocals are amazing, Jackie Wilson to be loved is another amazing vocal masterclass
Hi Twon, just imagine what it would sound like if the Righteous Brothers & The Platters performed together!!! WOW!
Tony Williams voice😍😍😍😍
One of the purest voices ever.💗
Enjoyed your reaction so much.
They are my favourite group they had some beautiful music. We did have some great music back then can't go wrong with there music thanks for playing it👍❤️
“I call the herd, It’s what I do”
The movie Green Book 📗 is a true story about a Black maestro on the piano who chose to do a tour into the "deep south" and hires an Italian bouncer to be his driver/bodyguard. I don't want to give much away, but it garnished BEST PICTURE from the Oscar's a few years back -- one rare choice that I agreed was deserved.
Platters were pure talent and class. Legends!!
Beautiful voice of Tony Williams, lead singer of the Platters.
The Platters are a 1950s singing group, that are part of what Rock and Roll refers to as "Doo-Wop" music. They were simply fantastic. There were hundreds of groups like these. Little Anthony and The Imperials, The four Aces, and too many to name. Early Rock and Roll was so cool!
This musical journey you're on will reflect for you the beauty, strength and heart of our people baby.
