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

Hey, Dagmar! "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is my personal favorite & both of these were among the 45s my dad gave me in 1970 for my 6th birthday.

It's not disco. Disco came around about 25 years later. At that time there was the REAL Rock and Roll, Doo Wop, R & B (Rhythm and Blues), Pop (Popular). The latter is the genre of the music of The Platters. Tony Williams had such a great voice. Dancing with that special person to this song was so enjoyable. You can be sure she'd come in REAL CLOSE. 🥰

Have you ever made copies of an original, and each time you make a copy of a copy of a copy, the picture gets more faded and bland, that is what I see of today, cars, music, movies, architecture, just copies of greatness... Listening to The Patters is such a breath of fresh air, such talent, pure emotion, the harmonizing, the range it's breathtaking. There is no reason we can't have this today, if only we had studios who wanted it, instead of the empty generic garbage we are given.

This was about a decade before discos. :-) This was the very earliest "rock" in the 1950s. I consider this to be Doo Wop. Some of it is slow and very romantic, and some of it rocks a little more. This had to be a movie clip showing them performing in a nice supper club, but all male band members wore suits and ties well up to the mid-sixties, and the women wore very nice dresses or evening gowns.

I remember growing up in this era, riding around dating while listening to such great, once in a lifetime, music. Such class and quality of music and vocals. I loved this group and other similar groups that marked a time in history and the history of music. This quality of music, artists, dress, and appearance was not uncommon in the day, even sharing the musical stage with rock and roll bands. Today it seems exceptional, and it is. It was and still is greatly appreciated music. One of the reasons so much Angelina Jordan's earlier music strikes a chord. Thanks for reacting to these classics.

The Platters' songs are classics. I seriously could listen to them all day. Other favourites I think you'd enjoy are the iconic "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" (1959), "Remember When" (1959) and "Red Sails in the Sunset" (1960). No auto-tune, no studio processing, backing-tracks, etc. - just pure, unadulterated talent. It breaks my heart that some modern over-processed lip-synching Barbie doll will earn more.

I grew up in the 50s, and my parents, like most parents of any generation, did not like my music, except for the Platters. They loved them because they sang all of the Ink Spots songs, and the Ink Spots were my parents’ favorite vocal group. They also thought that their voices were beautiful!

From when I was a little girl, Baby Boomer generation, raised by what is referred to as The Greatest Generation from WW2. I was blessed to grow up on this type music as well as my parents music from the 30's and 40's. Baby Boomers had some really wonderful music in the early 60's as well. This is what they called 'Do Wop'. Very popular in the 50's and 60's Just look at the Class in these Gentlemen, and that Lovely lady, her dress, her hair that smile!! My goodness! I've seen other reactors ask over and over saying, "What happened to music. Why don't we have this now?" Exactly! Groups like these were nothing short of The Best! No auto tune, repasting, computer generated to make someone 'sound like' they had talent. These artists worked at their crafts and talents and put effort into the amazing gift God gave them! What happened, was Woodstock, Vietnam and a breakdown of music that consisted of Simply....Love! The late 60's shifted and in my opinion took a hard turn to the wrong road. So glad we still can hear and see these amazing Talented groups. . What a wonderful young man you are. You have so much do discover of the Enormous Talent of the black artists, and yes they were Artists! What a heritage you have! You also have such an exciting destiny God designed Just for You! He has given You gifts and talents only You have. Go for it!

I'm so horrified and heartbroken that there are entire generations that never heard this music and only know rap or hip hop, which have only a remote connection to music if any. Don't you know this is real music and this is your real musical heritage? Glad you found it. And the genre is called doo-wop, by the way.

Tony Williams is the name of the lead singer on this and other Platters songs. It is such a terrible shame that such an incredibly talented man, with such a beautiful gift of a voice, was an alcoholic, and that destroyed his career. My favorite song with Tony singing lead is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. If I could ever sing, I wish I could sing like him in that song.

Old Person here, . . . I think I should explain "the video". It was a common practice to feature popular musicians in movies and TV shows. It gave the performers exposure and drew their fans to the TV show. So, if you are wondering why the camera shifted to those two random people that walked in, they were likely the stars of the film.

“Twilight Time” was my favorite song for slow dancing in the 8th grade, 1958. Music that this white boy owned, Brook Benton’s, “Walk On The Wildside”; …never mind a list, I was an avid fan of everything Motown, loved Harry Belafonte, Little Richard, Aretha, Four Tops, Shirelles, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Sam and Dave …and I could slide across the floor like James Brown. …I was also a fan of Elvis, the Beatles, Rolling Stones. My claim to fame was on two occasions had a sit down chat over a few beers with my guys and Muhammad Ali. He would occasionally stop in at our favorite drinking hole on Chicago’s Southside.

When I say R&B, I'm not talking about the junk they put out today rather old Lauren Hill, 117, Luthor Vandrose, and Janet Jackson.. the groovy love songs. no trash talk.

The Platters were some of the best.... But it was just the way it was back then. Life was a lot about.... What?... Giving your best, everywhere, all the time, ( with notable exceptions, but notable because the were the exception). Things were.... Civil? Am lacking the word for how we were. Maybe the word is just.. Nice? People, and things, and music, was 'nice'. Yeah.... Then a change blew in... Sometimes good. Sometimes not. But it blew civility and nice way in large part. What you listened to was simple, smooth, sweet, and superlative.... nice.....
