Now this is real music !

This is another fabulous group from the 50's-60's. This was the time of classy romantic heartfelt songs. Sadly they don't make music like this anymore. They had so many great hits such as "Only You", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Enchanted", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch", "My Prayer", "Twilight Time", "Harbor Lights" etc.

“Only You” is another great song of theirs

SOME OF THEIR OTHER HITS; TWILIGHT TIME, MY PRAYER, SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES, THEY WERE A GREAT GROUP......THEIR MUSIC IS STILL POPULAR TODAY, GOOD MUSIC NEVER DIES!!!!!!

Simpler (better?) times. Pure talent, no auto tune, no digitizers.

Music was so real back then. Just beautiful, voices, the look, the sound, Amazing.

One of the all time great singing groups in any genre.

One of my favorites. Every Sunday when I was a kid my Mom would shut the TV off and we'd play her old records. This was one of her 45's. It got played a lot. I think I still have it.

This was one of my favorite groups of that era. They had so many great hits. TWILIGHT TIME Is one of my favorite songs.

Tony Williams in his prime was so unbelievable a voice. Great, great voice.

Yes indeed!! They ruled the airwaves for quite a while. Loved them 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

One of my favorite groups and Tony Williams (the lead) is one of my favorite singers! No one has done "My Prayer" yet, which is my favorite song from the Platters!

The female singer is gorgeous!!! WOW

Such a lovely line-up of outstanding voices! Twilight Time is my favorite, but Great Pretender comes a close second. Glad to see you enjoying it too :)

One of the greatest singing groups of all time. Only You is my fav of all their songs. When you hear it you might recognize it. Only of the greatest songs ever sung by one of the most flawless singing groups ever.

OMG, The Platters are OG. Amazing harmonies. The world just doesn't make music like this anymore, but I wish it did. These old romantic classics are timeless.

Twilight Time and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes are 2 Platters songs you must listen to. 1950's 60's. Smooth as can be. An A Class group. I recommend the Mills Brothers from the same timeline. Their style is mellow. Cab Driver, Glow Worm, Basin Street Blues (live with the Boston Pops video. This is a surprising and unique treat)). And a quartet with Dean Martin on his tv show singing Paper Doll and Up A Lazy River.((live video) There is so much great music from the 40's-60's We used to see these amazing groups on tv.

My Prayer, Only. You, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, and many more songs. Tony Robbins is the beautiful voice that you hear.

Great sound with a lot of great songs

Where's the juice, where's the juice. Love them. Such harmonies. Brilliant group and greatest hits: recommend You’ve Got the Magic Touch.

I love the Platters. My mom loved them.she did her housework singing or humming this song😊

Also, Only you and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, My Prayer and Twilight Time. They were Amazing.

One of the best voices ever.

I first heard The Platters at age nine when they were on the radio for the first time in my town in North Dakota. I will be 80 in four months and they are still my favorite group. Their talent will be appreciated for many more decades and beyond.

They are legends! One of my favourite is Twilight Time. Beautiful song.

Now you are listening to Rock and Roll royalty. This is a rabbit hole that you want to follow until you've heard every song my friend. I've been listening to them since the 1950s and I still enjoy.

Such a clear wonderful voice.. one of the best

Yes, they do sound like 5 angels...:) great reaction!!

One of the greatest classics of all time. Glad you did this one!

That’s the type of music 🎶 I was listening to when I was a kid. That’s what you call music 🎶 ❤. Listen to their other songs, they’re outstanding 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🔥🔥

The Platters are sheer perfection.

Oh the great adversaries they faced back in the 50’s and 60’s. Bless their hearts for their courage. Great music.

So Great. I still love and prefer the songs of old- So much feeling, so great to dance to, and you could understand the words. Love it, love it.

This is a group I discovered, from the movie. "American Graffiti" By Stephen Spielberg. I love all their songs. Beautiful 50/60's love songs.

One of my favorites. Love this talented group. legends!!!

I watched them perform live at Olympia Stadium in Detroit 1956.. I still have all of their singles on original 45 RPM..I was also blessed to see The Beatles perform live again at Olympia Stadium in Detroit 1964. I think you would have been in heaven in my era.

can always tell how someone is reacting to oldies, watch the body, either swaying back and forth or little bit of boogie in the chair - - the music has reached the inner person

Smoke Gets ln Your Eyes was my favorite.

I've still love to hear these guys sing, even after 69 years!!!!!!!!!!!

such a great song!

The best era for music

You need to get in the way back machine and listen to all the great tunes of that era. The talent will make you wonder,what the hell happened to music lol

The Platters were very special. The lead singer, Tony Williams certainly was an underrated one...

That's is music thank you twilight smoking in you eyes is amazing from the players thank you so much

Beautiful voices. My Prayer is my favorite.

I look back now and wonder how I danced at their music instead of just sitting down and watching their unbelievable voices.

They are an amazing group , all of their songs are fire!

One of the all time GREAT GROUPS

Great song! I haven't heard the entire version. Thanks for your reaction 💖🦋

Classic 50's vibe! My mama played this kind of muic for us all the time!

the 50's any group,or artist,or genre,portray class more than any other decade....i also recommend my prayer by the platters,i don't think that has been reviewed on any other reaction channel

Some of the greatest music in history came out of Detroit! Mototown music had all the kids from all backgrounds listening to them. From the Platters to Little Anthony and the Imperials! The queens of Mototown was the Supremes. You need to check out the Four Tops with their song My Girl!

Love the Platters, my fav is Only You...a must! ❤️🎶

What a great group. Before my time but thanks to radio I have heard them. Great reaction.

I grew up listening to the Platters because my Mama liked them. I did, too. My Daddy was a big fan of Jackie Wilson and he's awesome as well. Love your reaction videos.

This was the music i listened to as a teenager. The best music . Yes im old but its still some of the best music ever

My favorite group of all time.

The lead singer Tony Williams sang beautifully. The music of the th the 1950’s was all about love. This was probably 1959.

Platters, like the shape of a plate I e record! And they are bangin!

CLASSIC! MY MOTHER LOVED THEM!¡

You have to hear Freddie Mercury's solo version of this song! Phenomenal!!

This is simply a "CLASSIC" and a "MASTERPIECE" by The Platters!!!!

My parents loved them and I really enjoyed them when I was a child.

I had never heard this, but I THINK it's the song Chrissy Hynde named The Pretenders after! Some interview I heard with her back when I'll Stand By You came out, she got the bog standard "so where'd you get the band name," but she launched into this amazing story about meeting this tough old biker in a dive, and at some point, she asked what his favorite song was, and he got up & put The Great Pretender on the jukebox. Then he just sat back down, closed his eyes, and listened, swaying back & forth, and she was just watching him listen & thinking that yeah, that was what she wanted to do. To move people like that. So she named her band The Pretenders, so that she could never lose sight of the point. I always regretted not catching the name of the band, though Thanks for that, man.

Powerful stuff ... I was too young to fully appreciate the virtuosity - but I loved it!

we had some great music back in the 1950s, but we rarely got to see them - no videos, maybe an occasional TV appearance on Dick Clark's Bandstand or Ed Sullivan. So this is a new treat. And then along came Elvis. I never could understand people being upset saying that Elvis 'sounded Black.' There were lots of wonderful Black singers back then, even Nat King Cole with his own TV show.

oooooooooh Another GREAT group!

love me some PLATTERS.

Great reaction! This one was before my time, but I must’ve heard it in my childhood, because I can’t recall not knowing and loving this song. I think when you’re looking at clips from this time period (sort of the transition from big band/crooner to rock ‘n roll), the audience considered it respectful to sort of sit quietly and attentively, and just listen and enjoy the performance.

They were a great group.

Really great group.

Smooth as silk!!

❤❤❤❤❤ more please.

Pure class!!!!😊❤

Best music ever

My first introduction to music was this group

Etta James is a must....

Excellent chioce.

If you like this kind of music you will love Hot Chocolate singing 'I'll put you together again'

Tony Williams is the lead singer and boy can he sing The others compliment him very well . These are one of the all time great groups . Even today there are no better groups . Thanks John. Try reacting to ONLY YOU .

Great!!!!!

I just love you and your orange juice comments😂

one of the best

It has two Ts, so it’s platters… With an a like in “hat”…. and it comes from the word plate… But a platter is a large plate that you put all the food on to get dished out onto each persons plate… But in this case, it refers to the record platter that turns to play the disc.

Legends ❤❤❤

I always think of my dad when hearing goodie but oldies....

My mom loved them, I’m hope she’s here with me listening 😞

I’m a 70 year old white woman. I say, Do You! I heard your comments on the other Righteous Bros. I totally understood what your comments were.

Just found your channel, AB. You are amazing! Loving your reactions from northern Alberta Canada!

A as in at. You know - a platter, a large plate for serving food. Platter is also slang for a record. So I suppose you could say The Platters were serving hit records back in the day. One of the best groups from the doo wop and early rock & roll era who scored crossover #1 hits on the pop and r&b charts like The Great Pretender at a time when music was often segregated on the radio, which of course was the main source for hearing new music back then.

7 The only person I heard do that song as well was Freddie Mercury.

Back in those days (the late 50s) a common term for a record was a platter. I don't know if that's where their name came from but it might be.

Loved it!

one of the best Motown groups ever

Welcome to the wonderful world of Do Wop music The Platters are one of the best.

Back in the 1950s. Raw talent.

I'm in my mid 70s and I have had the privilege of watching and dancing to their music too many times. I'm white and I went anywhere in Myrtle Beach s.c. to see and listen them.

Yep, we had some real singers back in the day!!!

Here's what I'm thinking as I listen to this song (I'm very familiar with it). "Man, what a beautiful Tenor. His voice is beautiful! I wonder what the other members of the group have? Do they get solos, or are they always backup? I'd like to hear each of them solo. I should explore their catalog further." I have heard and loved all of the Platters' hits, but it is always the tenor in front. Maybe the others get to lead on less popular songs?

❤️❤️❤️
