    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.

    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 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

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.

    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.

    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.

    I was about 12 when this song came out and was a teen when a lot of the other songs you have reviewed were new in the early 60s. I love that you have gone back into the archives and revived some of the old stuff. The Platters have so many great songs to review. Some of my favorites are "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", "My Prayer" which is especially lovely, "The Magic Touch", "The Great Pretender", "Only You" and so many more.
