[@carlajeangilliland70]

[@rcinsley]

"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is one of the most beautiful songs ever performed.

[@TheFargo116]

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

[@dagmar.6954]

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.

[@kolomo44]

Let's not forget...."Roll With Me Henry" and "YOU'LL NEVER KNOW"

[@ithilnin123]

They’ve reacted to “Only You,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” and “The Great Pretender” within the last 2-3 weeks, if you want to go back and see those. 💁🏻‍♀️

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.

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.

[@danielstorm8931]

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.

[@PapaEli-pz8ff]

I was born in 1950 and listened to so many of their records from my mother's collection 🎶

@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.

[@patrickwellington4214]

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.

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.

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.

[@alanheath7867]

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.
