hey it's the 78 year old grandma, it's because of groups like this and music like this that most of you are alive and breathing on planet earth today, as your parents or grandparents feel in love slow dancing to this kind of music back in the day. We had the best of the best.

Tony Williams is an all time voice. He could be a lead in any era.

In the fifties to the seventies we had the best music and cars

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

💖💖💖💖💖 The Sweet Voices of one of the best groups of the 50's and 60's,

The Platters were the biggest selling black group in the 50s that crossed over to white radio......endless hits......a group that i dont think you have featured yet are The Flamingos they were a close 2nd in popularity behind The Platters.......The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes For You" is a MUST HEAR AND SEE (performed on American Bandstand)......The Flamingos have some of the most beautiful songs you ever heard

I love this music even tho I wasn't born yet

In 1958 "Twilight Time" went to #1 on the Billboard charts for "The Platters." They were one of the greatest groups to come out of the 50's. There's no school like old school.

Now you have to check out their "Harbour Lights". Y'all really need to get up and do a little slow dancing the next time you react to the Platters!

When songs had melodies, clean lyrics and were sung by people who could sing beautifully.

There is no one better than The Platters.

I am 72 years old and I love this music and your reactions! I don't watch many reaction videos but I came across yours recently and I watch it every day now. Keep doing what you're doing. God bless you for bringing me so much joy.

Platters rank among the all time greats . There is so much good music from back then but they are there at the top so talented .

@Shawn and Mel...Since you and all your viewers love the Platters so much, I think you should now post a prominent photo of them on the wall behind you perhaps to the left of your own neon sign.

"My Prayer", "Harbor Lights", "Only You", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch" - all classics by the Platters! You'll be delighted and amazed.

I was 18. Then. And at 81 still love them. Takes me back ty. We lived in a more romantic time music wise. They were a class act

Don’t miss Smokes gets into your eyes and only you with the Platters ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for granting my wish!✨ Of course, I'll ask again, that you please hit Mary Wells - My Guy and The Temptations - My Girl. You'll love them both and they'll make the perfect holiday twofer. 🎶💘

I have a greatest hits album by them that is wonderful. The Great Pretender is a must listen to by them

The Platters are timeless, such great songs and delivered so beautifully. Pleaase do my fav. "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".

Pure class.

Other excellent songs by them: ONLY YOU, THE GREAT PRETENDER, MY PRAYER & THE MAGIC TOUCH 🎶🎼🎵

Isn't it beautiful? Takes a person's breath away... I was so lucky to hear this music on the radio when I was a kid, played as "Golden Oldies." The remarkable Platters.

This was my first favorite song. I was eleven when this came out. "I fall in love again as I did then."

this was the courting song of it's era, how could any girl resist a man that either sang or liked this song. Dreamy. May I suggest another great song, "I remember you" by Australian Frank Ifield

Magnificent my friends,this group was the biggest group from the early fifties to the middle sixties.They were the forerunners to the Motown and Philadelphi groups,the lead singer was Tony Williams.The man was so classy in his singing, he pronounced every word.When he sang it was like a poem accompanied by music, which is what a good song is. This man sang like a classical tenor, I always believed that he came from a classical background.He hardly ever sang falsetto,he used his natural tenor instead.Make sure you listen to Harbour Lights, To Each His Own and Remember When A.S.A.P.

The greatness of the Platters leave me speechless with every song they sing

One of my first 45 records....I was 8. NOBODY WRITES LOVES SONGS LIKE THE 1950's DID!!🎤🎤🎤🎸🎸💋💋💋🎺🔥🔥🔥

The 60's had some of the most beautiful love songs of all time that will always be next to impossible to match.

One of first 45 rpm records, along with Elvis, Chuck Berry and Brenda Lee gifts from my teen aunties. 🙏 Bless them both🙏

As a kid I used to watch my parents dancing closely to this and other great Platter songs. It was a poor man's Saturday night thrill.

Thank goodness I was a teenager in the 1950's and 1960's and this was the music that I heard everyday on the radio.

The lead singer is the incomparable Tony Williams. He died in 1992, I think.

My parents were married in 1952 and I was born in 1960. The Platters were the center piece to their record collection and during the house parties we had at our house they all danced to the songs and sounds of the Platters. Great memories from my childhood.

The Great Pretender, My Prayer, With This Ring, The Magic Touch.

Oh my goodness! The voice of the lead singer is beyond exquisite! I absolutely love the true talent of this group. The Platters are the epitome of what true talent is all about.

- Fantastic .. !!!

My heart melted! Love the oldies from the 50’s and 60’s.

Classic song pure class

"Ebb Tide", "My Prayer", "The Magic Touch", "Red Sails In the Sunset", "You'll Never Know", "Harbor Lights"...❤❤❤

I was hooked on the platters from the first time I heard them. I was only about 5-6 at the time!!! I begged the babysitter to play their record EVERY time she was there. Young, but I knew what I liked. Mid to late 50’s and early 60’s was what I fell for. As I grew up everything else was good, but just STILL doesn’t compare to that music. BTW I’m now 65, and STILL love that time period. Nothing compares today.

The Platters Music Is A Series Of Masterpiece’s! One Of My Favorites Of Theirs Is My Prayer

The Platters the best feel good music ever... there music had a story to tell always...this was so beautiful and it's 6 in the morning here and you got me singing🎼🎼🎼🎼

I grew up listening to all this music because of my mom, aunt's, and uncles, grandma too! In between the Mexican ballads and Mariachi music, we always had the oldies as part of every gathering. Miss those days.

I appreciate you featuring so many songs from the early 1900s; they’re undervalued nowadays

The Platters are the best . In my book. So smooth and they have a rich sound and blend like none other

BTW, back then a vinyl record was sometime called a "platter" for an obvious reason. One has to assume that is why they called themselves the "platters".

That was such a beautiful song. I'm so glad Mel and Shawn reviewed it.

Heavenly tones of The Platters are falling - on our ears... No one did it better.

Wut??? Classic. Thank you for bringing these forgotten classics to light.

I was about 7 yrs old when this was out. But who doesn't know this music if you are from that generation! We forget how exquisite voices, harmonies, melodies and the orchestration made music so unique back then.

This is such a classic song!! ✌❤

Love the Platters. Take a listen to the Dells. More beautiful SOUL. Peace out.

Simply magical to this very day...

Kathy here - I grew up listening to their music when my parents would have parties back in the day. Daddy would put on their album, slow dance with me standing on top of his feet, and then me and my sister were sent off to bed. What memories their music brings back for me. I am 68 years old and could listen to their music all the time! Thanks for the review.

Such talent / such poetry / such romance ! Gone so long ago ! I can remember the Platters as a young child ! I didn`t know much about the lyrics , I knew they were amazing ! creme de le creme ! Their music brings me back! It`s timeless! I still get chills !

I'm 67. Y'all take me back more than five decades where I cannot help but smile as I listen.

This group is so smooth!

Jose Feliciano also did a beautiful version of this - a little hidden gem on his album - he was not known for this song. But you'd love it!

Song writers back then we genious. The melody, lyrics, amazing.

Tony Williams one of the best singers ever, a class by himself a phenomenon, you will never hear a voice like that today, the ability to start at a low point and then change effortlessly to a high tone without crackling, smooth, silky, amazing.

The Platters had many great songs in that era. I can remember just entering my teens and dancing to this song. What a wonderful time to grow up with this great music.

I think the music today simply cannot compare with what was produced in that period. I saw this group, live, many years ago. They were still great!

The Great Tony Williams on lead vocals here...Try their tunes, My Prayer, Only You, The Great Pretender, and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

I'm so glad to see someone reacting to music from the 50's. If I may, I'd like to recommend "My Prayer". It's my favorite Platters' song.

One of my favorites. I remember when it was new and I could sing it word for word with him to this day.

We love this music. Best ever, we would love if you played Freddy Fender by Before the Next Teardrop Falls. Also my dad and I would love if you played Anna by The Beatles.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most beautiful singers who actually introduced me to music when I was 10 (1970) and never looked back PLEASE PLAY ⭐ ONLY YOU⭐ The platters will always stay in my heart 💖 Australia 💕 Christina

Mel your smile woul light up the darkest room ..Shawn your just plain cool ..love your reactions....GOAT oh and yeah The Platters.. is there anything to say other than fantastic Tony Williams voice of an Angel...

Fantastic! Those were the days of true talent.

Oldies but Goodies Rule, now this is music from the past and just love listening to it and if this doesn't put you in the mood for love, I don't know what would. The Platters were amazing and sure puts me in the mood for love every time I listen to them. ❤👍

Love this song, brings back memories when my grandmother played this on vinyl when I was a young kid.

Old skool is just the best the platters musical heaven.

I grew up listening to the Platters. Twilight Time was one of my Mother’s very favorite songs.

OMG, you cant go wrong with the Platters....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE

I was a senior in high school in 1958 when THE PLATTERS came out with this song and it blew us all away. So beautiful and may they all Rest In Peace.

man you guy are hitting the great singers and groups!!! glad ur finding them.

Lead singer of the Platters: Tony Williams from Elizabeth, New Jersey, a town that borders the city of Newark, NJ.

It does my heart good to see the younger generations enjoy the music I grew up with

This is my favorite Platters song and one of my favorites of that era. Tony had a truly beautiful voice. I just love it. They were all class, too.

So many talented groups making beautiful songs.....❤❤❤

Tony Williams voice was so amazing and so effortlessness. If you haven’t done it yet wait till you hear “My Prayer” His voice OMG!

“My Prayer”. Such a fantastic song. The Platters were so great. 💜💜💜

I love The Platters, an amazing group

The Platters!!! How I miss them. I hope you love the lyrics of this song as much as I do.

I wish we had more of this type of music right now... Doesn't get better than this...Also Shawn and Mel I love your channel... Thanks for being positive...

My father owned a bar back in the early 60's and on the jukebox were many hits from The Platters. Back then, nothing beat hearing a juke box speaker play these tunes, their songs filled the entire bar and had such a quality and feel about it. I would go home and could still hear those songs inside me, like it floated along and sank into my body !

The music of the '50s and early '60s was very special. In addition to memorable tunes and lyrics, a song of that era had to be dance-able.

they were and are today .. a class act .. for many a generation 🔥🔥 🎵🎵

This is another favorite of mine from the platters. Mel’s gonna love this one!!

They were great. Thanks for watching this one - my all time favorite song.

Charm. Charisma. Perfect pitch. Tony Williams was everything.

My prayer is a beautiful song by them.

Perfection what a great song Tony Williams what a lead eternal music

I only have one thing to say about this group, classy. There were none with more class than them.

Legends. They were fabulous.

One of the most beautiful songs ever!

The platters make the most dreamy music 🥰

What a voice, chills. gooseybumps :))

You Guys were born to late! I was 3 years old when this song came out. I remember it because my family used to play and sing, all kinds of music. You are on a musical 🎼 journey. Keep going because we like watching your reaction. Hey, don't forget to play Jon Lucian," Your Sensational." It will blow your mind.
