Platters - Only You

The Platters singing "Only You", "Remember When" and "The Great Pretender" with an introduction by Mr. Allan Freed.
Lyrics:
Only you
can make oh this world seem right
Only you
can make the darkness bright
Only you and you alone
can thrill me like you do
and fill my heart with love for only you
Only you
can make this change in me
For it's true
you are my destiny
When you hold my hand, I understand
the magic that you do
You're my dream come true
my one and only you, only you
Only you
can make this change in me
For it's true
you are my destiny
When you hold my hand, i understand
the magic that you do do
You're my dream come true
my one my one my one and only you.
Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), I first met you (dah-doot-doo-doo)
My lips were so afraid to say, "I love you"
Remember when (dah-doot-doo-doo), to my surprise (dah-doot-doo-doo)
The heaven in my heart leaped into your eyes
Remember how much I cried
Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo), and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo)
I can't remember when I didn't love you
Remember how much I cried
Tears of joy to think you were mine
Darling, down deep inside
I still feel that feeling divine
I loved you then (dah-doot-doo-doo) and I still do (dah-doot-doo-doo)
I can't remember when I didn't love you (remember when).
Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Pretending that I'm doing well
My need is such, I pretend too much
I'm lonely, but no one can tell
Oh-oh, yes, I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I played the game but to my real shame
You've left me to grieve all alone
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Too real is this feeling of make-believe
Too real when I feel what my heart can't conceal
(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Yes, I'm the great pretender
Just laughin' and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
(Still around).

[@curbozerboomer1773]

Music is generational...few genres of music pass on to the next generation...I am 77...Fifty years ago, my parents would ask me why their music was no longer popular!...I am lucky I guess, as I like at least some of my parent's music, then I liked Elvis, then the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, etc. Sometime around 1980, I stopped going to concerts, concentrating on work, and raising my two sons. But believe me...I love these old Doo-Wop classics, that remind me of how innocent I was back then...and how I grew up with harder, more progressive music that followed. I still feel strongly, that the best musical instrument of all , is the Human Voice!

[@curbozerboomer1773]

I consider myself to be lucky, to have been born in 1946...I was just old enough to remember my parents playing music from the earlier 50s, like Perry Como, Teresa Brewer, etc. I liked it!...and then Elvis came to town, and created a tidal wave of newer, basic Rock and Roll...I liked it!...and then the Beatles showed up, and somehow united a world-wide listening audience, throughout the 60s!..I liked that too!...It has been such a beautiful roller-coaster of a Musical Tapestry, that helped to define my generation.

[@williamtolsma7988]

I was born in 1985, so this music came out over a generation before I was even born, but it still played on the oldies stations when I was a kid. I've just been sitting here all night thinking about how it was the music my grandparents probably listened to in their 20s and 30s when they were newly weds and probably also when they dated. It not only gives me a nostalgic feeling, but it even gives me an eerie kind of feeling...like I'm watching a world of ghosts on a video, knowing that all of those people are long gone, and I'm looking through a window into a different world that is also long gone. I'm sorry I did not appreciate this type of music for all those years when I was younger the way that I do now.
