“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.

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!👏👏

When i was 3 years old, 1967, my dad left for Vietnam. My mom was teaching school, and my Grandmother babysat me. Not only did i enjoy going to the barn with my Grandfather to collect eggs. Feed chickens, hogs, and cows. Milk the cow, and enjoy my Grandmothers breakfast cooking, but i got to discover my mom's record collection from her teen years that got left at her mothers house. Among all those records was The Platters. This very album!! Only You, The Great Pretender, My Prayer, and others. We didnt know skin color back then. I just loved to listen to the music. Guys, i still have that record album today. It was bought in the 50's so you can imagine, its not in the best condition, but in this age of digital clean music, its still a joy every now and then, to put an lp on the record player and listen to that scratch, pop and crackle.

Great tunes used perfectly in this film.

I love the Platters, so many great songs. Speaking of smooth 50s singers, have you checked out Johnny Mathis yet? I think you may have done a Christmas song? - but Chances Are is his masterpiece.

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.

Listen to another very dreamy, beautiful song called "I Only Have Eyes For You " by the Flamingos. You will be just as impressed as with this Platters song! Well, heck, might as well throw in anothe rone with the beautiful dreamy sound, "Since I Don't Have You" by the Skyliners. BTW, these very early groups from the late 50's were part of our music in the early 60's. Happy listening!

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.

Another great vocal group of the day was The Coasters. "Poison Ivy" and "Charlie Brown" come to mind.

I am 79 years and was in junior high and on friday nights at the school Gem I danced to this group and fell in love with every girl I danced with hearing this song.
