another excellent harmonizing group... the "5th Dimension"

[@sca88]

Grew up with my parents listening to The Platters, Righteous Brothers and Johnny Mathis. Beautiful music!!

[@trixier6505]

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded.

[@lovemyrainydays]

Nice No matter how many times I listen to these great old songs, I'm still always amazed at how astonishingly fantastic their voices were.

[@jimfrederick3907]

Back in the days when it took real talent to be successful - what a concept!

[@mikeyates7931]

It's really great to see you two young Men discovering the beautiful Real music I grew up on - cheers mates !

[@helgar791]

Real singing from an era of real singers. The immortal Tony Williams and The Platters, one of the greatest all time voices. Try this group doing "Only You", "Red Sails In The Sunset", "The Great Pretender" and "My Prayer".

[@robinstigator]

I love the line "laughing friends deride the tears I cannot hide". This was my mom's fave group

[@nthdegree1269]

ONLY YOU....by the Platters. The singer is one of the greatest of all time.

[@weberv41]

The Platters are one of my all time favorite groups (even though I was born decades after they were popular). I love their songs and Tony Williams has one of the best voices. Try My Prayer & Only You. :)

[@jjsteel43]

You guys are going way back here. Welcome to one of the great 50's R&B Soul music groups during that time

[@everythingelvist.vchannel130]

I used to listen to all this sort of music. Dad used to record from the radio always stunning his toe on the door frame so he could press pause on the tape so he didn't get the dj voice after the song😂 Great reaction lads

[@stevegans731]

60 years ago and they're still better than anything out there now.

[@dw2161]

To give credit to the creators of this song, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for the 1933 Broadway musical “Roberta,” 25 years before the Platters recorded it. Originally sung on Broadway by Tamara Drasin, and recorded by Paul Whiteman in 1934 and sung by Irene Dunne in the 1935 film adaptation of the same show.

[@jhoang861]

wow thank you!

[@jrwxtx]

And, Bob Hope & John Davidson reprised the musical in 1970 for NBC television.

[@spanisheyes68]

Great reaction lars, I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I love to hear you both singing :) I hope you both had a great Christmas and I wish you both all the best for the New Year

[@alfredkowsky2752]

We lost a national treasure when Tony Williams passed away in 1996.

[@freckled100]

They didn't need EQ because they could really sing. Their music was live and not a bit of compression. Just real!

[@anthonygeurtsen7143]

I remember singing this song for my audition with the Skylight Opera in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Stunning song! Thank you for sharing.n

[@RTSOB1]

Tony Williams (singing lead) had one of the great voices in pop history.

[@jjsteel43]

He did but Pop didn't exist then. It was Doo Wop and R&B Soul

[@RTSOB1]

@@jjsteel43 ...and country and standards and musical theater...etc. By "pop" I was simply referring to popular music.

[@OldBoiler62]

Now that you've discovered "The Platters" you should do their classic "My Prayer".

[@celinhabr1]

Yes, more The Platters, please.

[@dw2161]

The song “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” predates The Platters by 25 years. This song was written for the 1933 Broadway musical “Roberta” with music by Jerome Kern and lyrics by Otto Harbach. It was first performed by Tamara Drasin in the original Broadway production. You can hear Ms Drasin sing the original Broadway version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2G0gGysjJ6ci9E

[@ANNEAVES]

Great song. Super reaction.

[@reg4321]

This is my favorite song from the Platters.

[@wvob6752]

My favorite was Only You by the Platters. A gentleman from my home state by the name of Sonny Turner sang with the Platters after Williams.

[@andreadeamon6419]

They don't sing em like that anymore do they? Love the oldies

[@3Blali]

I really LOVE the variety you enjoy hearing. I grew up exposed to many different era's and styles of music. I LOVE that my parents were music lovers . . .

[@Xcris_crosX]

Nah, I'm not crying just cuz of you. Real men don't cry. Tears are cuz smoke got in my eyes

[@sylviabell499]

This is perfect in 1959

[@donthom8610]

60 years ago! I'm just saying.

Please react to Percy Sledge singing 'When A Man Loves A Woman '

[@BReNĐN-c6n]

Great song

[@donaldmoon]

Happy New Year 2020, to you and yours, one good reaction at a time.

[@solitarybee3714]

I speak as a person over 70 years of age when I offer this observation, so please don't think I am judging younger people; I am just in my own way reacting to their reactions : You seem to have been deprived of exposure to some wonderful characteristics of "old" music. The sounds of your own short lifetimes thus far have been so monotonous, so artificially created and very over-produced. The singers and performers, even the songs, have been edited to within an inch of their lives, maybe in search of some unreachable perfection. It has resulted in a kind of non-musicial music. So you must believe me when I say that to see your reactions, consisting of wonder, appreciation, even joy - makes me happy as well! I would ask only one favor of you, that is to really listen first. Then, after hearing some portion you enjoyed, maybe you would like to hear it again later. Sometimes it is only when experiencing more than once, that you get in touch with the real magic in a piece of music. So much great music is waiting for you to open your ears and enjoy! Many thanks!

[@rubynelson8274]

Look up Sam Cook, one of the best voices of the era.

[@jamespasifull3424]

They did up-beat songs too! 'With this ring', is a Northern Soul classic, from the early 60's!

[@MsPunk56]

The great Tony Williams

[@owensedo6181]

Yeslord

[@spacefanatic]

You should try 'Only You' by them as it is a great song also.

[@crinkle2649]

The Platters were wonderful. You really need to do yourselves a favor and listen to Sh Boom Sh Boom by The Crew Cuts or The Chords, True Love Ways by Buddy Holly, You Send Me by Sam Cooke. I can't pay you money but I do let all the ads run so you get paid by KZbin

[@leeloodallas3447]

Really beautiful song which we can hear on the movie "always" with Holly hunter and Richard Dreyfuss.a really moving film

[@philomenawhitehead7840]

One of my most favourite films. You should check out the film 'Once Around' with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus. No music but a beautiful film. Hard to get hold of though unfortunately.

[@leeloodallas3447]

@@philomenawhitehead7840 yes i saw it and was deeply moved .the scene when he s in the plane with her at night and talks to her,under the stars.....😭😭😭😭😭i feel like watching it again but i will be crying all day long

[@americanaforever6725]

NJ born Tony Williams helped make the Platters a mega successful group

[@PeterJPickles]

Tony Williams had a great voice.

[@nthdegree1269]

I think he had one of the greatest. The voice is filled with personality, sounds unique and just has tremendous resonance. Wonderful voice really.

[@kristeandreatujague7016]

Zak, read a book(a long one about 350 pages), record it and send it to me because your voice is so soothing ☺and I love your accent. 💕

[@marymccullough4787]

They used to call vinyl records platters. In this case it's not a plate. Lol

[@thomasrobles3666]

Awesome thanks

[@BrosReact0151]

you welcome

[@E9clyde9]

I was about 14 or 15 when I first saw the Platters on TV and I thought this girl singer was the hottest thing I had ever seen

[@Motown-1966]

If you think 6:35-6:38 and the last note's crazy, then you need to listen to Georges Guétary hit that high note at the end of "I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise" from one of the greatest musicals that was ever made, *An American in Paris* starring Gene Kelly directed by Vincente Minnelli (Liza Minnelli's dad & Judy Garland's former husband)! You guys don't have to do a reaction but you'd just might appreciate the work ppl of this era put in! Nice reactions too guys! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fofZeHh4ec6ifsk

[@E9clyde9]

I was 14 or 15 the first time I saw the Platters on TV and I thought the female here was the hottest thing I had ever seen.

[@patrickdevries6267]

Indeed an amazing song with an amazing singer Tony Williams. I want to ask to listen to Roy Orbison, who is also called the Caruso of rock 'n roll, for example In dreams, they call you the gigolette, walk on. Thanks

[@karolyn8644]

This might be one of the earliest recordings ever, of amazing quality, considering, by the world famous operatic tenor, Enrico Caruso - Vesti la giubba - 1902, 1904, 1907 kzbin.info/www/bejne/iH2aqJeLhb2jn68

[@BBBYpsi]

Could not understand one single word these two said and they stopped the video too many times and talked over the great performance of The Platters

[@jeanmariebasset2544]

Je trouve,quant à moi qu'ils respectent les Platters en décortiquant la chanson pour mieux l'apprécier;des jeunes qui aiment les morceaux de légende des années 50 il y en a pas des masses

[@9284vr]

BBBYpsi...I agree that much of what these two say is VERY hard to understand because of their thick accent (Britsh of some sort?) and you are right that they should not keep interrupting the song so much...maybe once would be OK but they should leave their comments mostly to the end.

[@annamay915]

You, two are too hilarious!!! Happened to come across 3 other reaction videos, an I like what I’ve seen... May I ask a (?) what country are you two from...

[@papercup2517]

They're from the Liverpool, England!

The Great Pretender, which people associate with Freddie Mercury, was a Platters song. I think it is one of their best, really fabulous. You might enjoy reacting to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3bdl5uZobCCbrM

[@npkrn6764]

@@Motown-1966 You are correct and I will just watch other's song reviews. This was only the second of their's that I watched and the first was the same. I just thought I'd give them another chance since seeing this was the lush, velvety- vocal stylings of The Platters! Haha. Oh well 🤷‍♀️😁

[@Motown-1966]

@@npkrn6764 Understood! I know exactly how you feel when I watch some of the other 'reactioners.' I've come across a few who don't even watch the video but constantly look at themselves in the camera or mirror. Some of those ppl care more 'bout fixin' their hair or playin' with jewelry than to actually pay attention to the video before them. At least with these brothers, they actually pay attention to what they're watching and do comment with what they're seeing (which further support their attentiveness). I know they can 'over kill' with the pauses, but once you've been burned a time or two by receiving strikes on copyrighted material (despite having the disclaimer that these reactions are done under the fair use act)...you'd be shy too 'bout goin' over the minimum viewing time before having to break. Some other reactioners that are startin' out & have small number of followers don't yet know 'bout the strike rule & YT just allow them to stockpile the videos before hitting them with strikes (or shutting down the channel altogether). I've loss quite a few reactioners over this. So I learned to accept many reactioners are doin' this for income as well. Once they monetized the videos, not only do the reactioners pause the videos a lot, but the videos are constantly interrupted by ads (some we can skip while others, not). I used to have a favorite reactioner whom I followed for nearly a year & recently had to stop watching them 'cos I literally sat through 8 ads over the course of his 10 minute song reaction. In fact, there will be a lot of reactioners with big subs/followers who will be shutting down their channels by Jan 1 due to the Coppa rule involving children. And the brothers here may be one such channel that'll shut down sadly here on YT. Many have established other channels on other platforms so do watch-out where they'll be going. Have a very Happy New Years to ya if I don't run into ya again!
