Sweet! When you run out of songs by The Platters to listen to, check out some of these fifties doo wop style ballads -- The Crests "Sixteen Candles", The Dells "Oh What A Night", The Five Satins "In The Still Of The Night", The Penguins "Earth Angel", The Chantels "Maybe", The Skyliners "Since I Don't Have You", The Tune Weavers "Happy, Happy Birthday Baby", Ann Cole "Are You Satisfied", The Mellows "Sweet Lorraine", The Falcons "You're So Fine", The Capris "There's a Moon Out Tonight", ... YMMV.

A simple, sweet, satisfying song. I am thankful that I was able to share an experience with my son regarding The Platters. Some years ago we both flew to Florida and went to Busch Gardens in Tampa and while there at the park, we stopped in and watched the new iteration of "The Platters" and am hapy to say that the new group was wonderful. Not one original member left, but, the lead singer of this iteration was hand-picked by the last remaining members of the original line-up. And, my son like them! I am in agreement with you Harri, and, you said it perfectly, "Diamonds in my ears." Yes, Tony's voice was iconic. It's too bad that greed gets in the way of the artists' ability to enjoy lifelong success singing music they love. If you read the story of The Platters, you'll find a lot of lawsuits over naming rights and all of that junk. But, humans are greedy, selfish, pathetic creatures and they will ruin a good thing more often than not.

I've loved this song for nearly 70 years and I loved your reaction as well.

Tony Williams was a unique ballad singer. One of a kind. Great range and sweet quality.

AHH‼️ The Platters - one of my favorite groups. And Tony Williams had a magic voice 👏🏻🥰‼️ Great reaction Harri 👍🏻🥰‼️

The Platters were such a fantastic group. They were so classy. Tony Williams voice is a natural wonder. Thanks Harri for this. 👏👏🇨🇦

The Platters are the ones that got me hooked on 50s and 60s Doo-Wop music! Please go down the rabbit hole with The Platters!!! My other favorites of theirs are My Prayer, The Great Pretender, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Twilight Time, You’ll Never Never Know, On My Word Of Honor, (You’ve Got) The Magic Touch, and I’m Sorry.

My favorite group of this era! So glad my dad introduced me to them.

The Platters was our music to waltz to in the high school gyms on Friday nights.

When you hear 👂 magic and listening to other bands or groups do it so badly you can’t believe it’s the same

I played their greatest hits album on vinyl the other day and flipped it back over and listened to the whole thing a 2nd time. They're that good.

As I clicked on his one I thought, "Harri, get ready for diamonds".

I have always loved the platters. Great Pretender is a great one too. Beautiful

Oh my! This brings back such memories. Listening to Radio Luxembourg, as a kid, with my grown-up sisters doing their make-up etc. before going out on the town.

Aren't the harmonies superb? Wonderful.

Your smile says it all!!

Absolutely beautiful!!

There's NOTHING in this world like a wonderful tenor!!!

A great song, I heard it in films, in advertising, on the radio, but as a child I didn’t know who was singing it, good memories. 😊

The Platters have been my favorites for 71 years, since I was 9 years old. The expression on your face while listening to them tells me you feel the same. I love watching you enjoy their beautiful music.

That's Allen Freed that sat down at the table with that couple. Great promotor of rock and roll

So many hits. With this ring. Smoke gets in ;your eyes. So many

Absolutely beautiful song!!❤ And yes, certainly diamonds in the ear💎💎💎 It was released in 1959. I remember my parents just loved it! Thanks for the reaction Harri!!

Just an FYI for anyone in the So. Cal. area. The Platters will be appearing at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, Ca on Friday Nov. 29. You can order tickets online and pick them up at Will Call. You can also call ahead for dinner reservations. I have seen so many great acts there through the years. Small .......I think under 500 capacity and a wonderful experience. I've seen Keb Mo, BB King, Joe Walsh.......etc etc and love love love it. If I were still in Calif I would definitely go see them.

The Platters music from the good old days at its best! Thanks Harri! 🙂

My mom's favorite a long with Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Great memories!

That was the best slow dance I ever had!

I love the Platters, the lead singer is awesome! Had a greatest hits package a few years ago and was hooked.🎵🎶🎶🎶🎶

Also check out "Twilight Time" and of course "Harbour Lights"

I played this song at so many shows that my 45's and albums have cue burns at the beginning. People loved this song. Always had a packed dance floor. Good times.

You've discovered the magic of the '50's!!!

Harri my friend, I'm an old retired guy who watches a ton of reaction videos. You are my favorite, the absolute best.

One of The Greatest Groups and Voice Tony Williams One of The Greatest Voices Ever. Amazing

The Platters were one of my parents’ favorite groups. I can see them dancing in the living room to this right now.

INCREDIBLE VOCALS❤❤

This was from the movie "Rock Around The Clock" from 1956. There were a few 'rock n' roll" movies during that time that showcased a lot of great talent.

My mother loved doo wop music, so I heard a lot of it growing up. Most of my friends thought it was odd that I liked it so much. I believe I like it even more now that I am 70 years old.

Twilight Time, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and The Great Pretender next please- if you haven’t already. My dad had all their albums and I still know all the words- I’m 68😊

They knew how to write 'em and sing 'em back then.

There is a quality in the great vocalist that is the same. That every word is challenged to the fullest. If it isn't they would never be satisfied with who they are.

Spellbinding ❤ ABSOLUTELY Delicious ❤

Love it! 😊 Their harmony is outstanding!

Im 43, and i say it doesnt get much better. I grew up listening to this era of music, my dad always listened to the oldies from his younger days and ive grew up to love it. He passed in 2012 at the age of 72 from Alziemers and im glad along so many things he passed down to me, the love of this music was one of them.

I have always loved this song!❤ What a wonderful group they were! My first song that I was introduced to as a kid by my teenage family friend. ❤

My Prayer, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and Twilight Time are some of my favorites by the Platters. I am blessed to have seen them in person. Beautiful!❤️

This was my mothers and stepfather song. When they renewed their vows my sister and I were at the front of the Church. This song came out of the speakers. It was such a surprise. We tried not to laugh. She should have warned us. It is a beautiful song

LOVE LOVE LOVE

I'm 82 and I have fond memories from my youth of this song by The Platters. I knew it as one of four songs on an EP (Extended play) record along with @Harbour Lights' Unfortunately I can't remember the names of the other two track but I think they were equally good. I have found a link to Harbour Lights in case you'd like to hear that one too. The lyrics of harbour Lights are soulful and wistful and i remember them fitting my mood just after being dumped by my first girlfriend! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bNNxZZll18eXhps.html. Thanks for letting me hear Only You again for the first time in many years.

Oh, Hari? Aren't they so beautiful? The voices are so rich. I wish we had this music again. It is heavenly.

This is a classic.

Absolutely gorgeous! ❤

Classic. ❤❤❤❤❤

Agree 100% on the will always be the definitive version of this song.

From my childhood and I love them still today!!

I grew up hearing this on my sisters recordplayer and radios, love it

Another song that I have loved since I was five years old! Thanks Harri 🌺✌️

We used to slow dance to this song when i was a teenager! And many others of theirs. Love it❤ Thanks for the memories!

It was so thrilling to hear all the Great songs and music of my day. I love to hear the old music still.

Saw the platters at the Avalon Theater. Tony yelled out to the audience: "What Time is it?" The entire audience, in unison replied "TWILIGHT TIME"

they had a million hits. golden era of doo wop and rock n roll and classic jazz

What a voice -my mom loved the Platters

This was the era of REAL music which is melody, harmony and sensible rhythm!

I remember this from when I was a child, and I've always loved it, and play it quite often.

Recorded in 1955.

Unbelievable voice

What a classic!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

So GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They still give me chills !

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤A beautiful song!!!!!❤❤❤

Greatness Harri, pure greatness!

Saw them in 1972.

I saw The Platters down the shore in NJ (1976). Just gorgeous voices, songs! ❤❤❤❤

My mom played the Platters music a lot when I was a kid so I grew up listening to them. They really were great !

They have many,many,many diamonds.

I AM 72 I BEEN LISTENING TO THE PLATTER SINCE I WAS YOUNG CHILD AND NEVER GOT TIRED OF THEM

The Platters have been on my play list before we used playlist. I learned to dance to their music in the 50's. Of course, we had their singles in the family collection of 45's.

The best ever and I got to see them. Oh my God.

Love the Platters, grew up with the oldies....I was a 70's kid.

My older sister taught me how dance playing this song over and over as a preteen. I love it. Thanks.

We're up to Tiffany's level of "diamonds in your ears" with this one. One of my mum's favourites!

Gorgeous.

smoke gets in your eyes by the platters

Absolutely loved the Platters. Pretty much, they were the soundtrack to my high school days. Way back when. 😂

I feel like crying. It brings fond memories even for a white guy!

Tony Williams had such a fantastic voice. Talent like his is timeless.

I was the last road engineer for Paul (lead) and Buck (baritone) until months before Paul had to shut it down because of his cancer. Buck passed 4 months after that They were a hoot to be around

👋👋👋

One of the best scenes in the movie War of the Roses is of Michael Douglas, drunk on his butt singing this while playing it on water glasses.....priceless. That said one of the most beautiful love songs ever recorded. Smooth as velvet.

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 "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "Enchanted", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch", "My Prayer", "Twilight Time", "Harbor Lights", "The Great Pretender" etc.

We need to thank our reactors musically and politically. They are doing America a great favor

PLEASE take a listen to the female vocalist in the group doing "My Old Flame."

Another overlooked great ' Brook Bentoñ - Rainy night in georĝia and more like Percy Sledge, more

I always wonder why the phrase " can do make" was in this song. Nonetheless, this is one of my favorite karaoke go to songs. Very nice reaction here, Hari.

You should try the female singer ( Zola Taylor ) and her songs called ( Dance with me Henry / He's Mine )

With all due respect to all the great singers of the ages, this gentleman had the most beautiful voice I've ever heard in my 76 years .The Platters songs are also incredibly romantic .

I know this is from a movie, but if the club were real and back in that day, it's sad that the Platters wouldn't be welcome to dine there.

The Platters were the greatest and the most underrated bands of all times!

The lead singer was Tony Williams.

I don't want to get bashed by a lot of people, for saying something. I will change and say this though, great band great song. Love the Platters.

The fella standing far right next to the woman could be David Alan Grier’s father. I see a huge resemblance.
