That voice of Tony makes me goose bumps. !!...this is music and CLASS. No mics just beautiful singing. His voice is outstanding. And the group is awesome. Miss them. RIP to all. 😢❤❤
I thought every Platters songs in the early days,Tony Williams was their only leader,I also know but don't remember when Tony Williams left to go out on his own !! someone please name 2 or 3 songs Turner was the lead singer for the Platters so I can hear how good he was
@@johnmacur7872 I did not know that but her name was Zola Taylor and his was Tony Williams. And yes. she was very beautiful. Check out the you tube video, The Platters The Great Pretender, great close up shots of her.
This is so beautiful the platters were and always will be the greatest group ever produced , and will be played a hundred years from now , Shirley h Darlington England 🌹⭐👍😘✋
Sixty nine years ago, people. And here we are. Listening to Tony Williams, Herb Reed, Paul Robi, Zola Taylor and David Lynch. I can't think of any present groups capable of doing that...if I knew who they were.
In my heart I believe that Tony and the platters are probably the greatest most beautiful artist since they started until now. Just listen to one of their songs and I think everyone would agree
One thousand years in the future somewhere in the asteroid belt, this song will be playing on a jukebox in a rough & tumble miners' bar. The drinks will be strong, the memories bittersweet. Nostalgia will never die. 💙
Guys ,they still perform around in the world, I saw them in Australia back in 2014-only difference is no Herb Reed, and also had a different female vocalist.

Tony Williams The Best of the Platters “Gone But Never Forgotten” Best of the 60’s era The Platters invokes unforgettable and enduring Memories of the 60’s never to Be forgotten for those who lived through those wonderful endearing years. Robert
Marvelous all the way! God given talent! Even the satisfied look on the instrument players, as the time was shared with them, seemed to say, there's no place on Earth I'd rather be, than right here! Thanks for putting them on!🌈💖⚘
I didn't finish my comment I worked in underground Atlanta at the front page now working at the front page it entitled me to go to all the shows there and underground Atlanta that's one underground Atlanta was really underground Atlanta The platters would appear at the palace oh God four five times a year and I got to know them that's Domino's I mean the list just goes on and on but the platters they were fantastic. I so so miss those days. Most of these people have expired all my family and friends have expired and I know that I have expiration date but I'm still hanging on I'm 77 I was in my mid twenties when I come to know the platters and they were starting to age and that's okay but they never lost their voice they were unreal.
I am almost 80 years old and this is the music my dad liked when I was like 5 I used to play Harbor Lights on the piano that was in my grandma's house when I was little and it is the most beautiful music I've ever heard I will be 80 years old in 4 years and to me the platters were and will always be the best group around🥰💜❤👍
Como es posible que en 2021, abril 17 esta música nos llegue a alma... letras maravillosas, voces espectaculares . Como la juventud escucha la bazofia actual?
Seems like time stands still when I hear this beautiful music ringing saw them in Perth wa way back in the mid sixties I was hooked still hooked fifty odd yrs later
i was in mid elementary scheool when most of the patters songs were popular....my older sisters would dance to these hits, where my dad owned a restaurant and alowed the teens to dance on certain nights and slower days.....i always envied the teens and wanted to much to be one and be able to dance with all the pretty girls....later as a teen i became a musician and played a lot of dances but always loved the platters for their brilliant singing abilities.....although i was more of a rocker muician.....do woop is still and will always be my favorite musical era
What a gracious music with gracious dancing by gracious people, unlike the crap corrupt disgrace of nowadays. Please bring back the 20s - 60s. Thank you so much.
So talented and smooth. But a can’t help but wonder how the Platters felt about entertaining this audience…but not having the right to sit amongst that audience.
The music might be contrived and hard to replicate. But the sheer experience of their unique sound. Puts the Platters in a special place in the hearts of their legions of fans worldwide. Just the memory of that song comes drifting back from vault’s , long since locked away in our stored memories. No wonder they say music is good for us oldies, as it sure remedies the vault’s of time. Seeking out Rythm and melodies we had long since forgotten. And the words and lyrics, which set our voice’s trying to emulate the original sound. That entrapped us in the first place. And the song and the music lives on, it’s structure indelibly imprinted on our minds hearts and soul.
Yes he could have made it on his own like Nat king cole, like diana rosa. As a matter of fact, my preferencia is for him over Nat king cole, his voice was a violin,. Smooth and could prolong the notes. We are Lucky that we had him.
el quinteto mas grande de todos los tiempos, a la fecha incomparables en su genero musical, que llegan a lo mas profundo del alma y sentimiento, inspira nostalgia cada uno de sus temas, vigentes hasta la fecha, SALUDOS CORDIALES DESDE EL CUSCO PERU PARA EL MUNDO.
Me encanta la música de esa época y con estas grandes y maravillosas voces. Lo que hoy de verdad no se escucha, me hubiera gustado ser de esa época. Y con todas las dificultades que había.
The Platters were and remain a legend, a vocal group that made doo-wop a sublime art, appropriating it to the point of making it impossible for anyone after them to use it without being accused of posing as their imitator.
I was a teenager in high school when the platters were popular and they were my favorite group. Very professional, classy and sang beautiful music. Those days are gone with the wind never to return.
I was a teenager in high school too when the Platters were recording all of their beautiful songs. Weren't we the lucky ones to be part of the 1950's and all of it's unforgettable music!👏🎶🎼
I became an instant fan of The Platters when I saw and heard them sing in that 1956 block-buster "Rock around the clock". In this great musical, they delighted fans, the world over, with two perennial hits "Only You" and "The Great Pretender". Sometime in 1957 "I'm sorry" became a major hit on the Binaca Hit Parade as also the "Top of the Pops". When I visited Bombay on a vacation, I sang this number with the Hal Green Band and while "self-praise is no recommendation", I received quite an applause for a follow-up number. Of course, I obliged with my rendition of "Rock around the clock". I wasn't a threat to Bill Haley, but the kids jived their feet out. All this occurred when I was just 8 years old.
The Platters should have followed as top one at least for 10 years more. I understand they declined after the four men were arrested in 1959 on accusation of drug and prostitution plus the parting of Tony Williams to make an individual career.
Met the platters back stage in Trinidad I was with my mom ,I was 13 and Zoila Taylor had on perfume that smelt so good,I've loved wearing perfume since that
There are still Platters groups performing today. Only Sonny Turner, the man who replaced Tony Williams, is still performing with a Platters group. All the original members of the group that had the hits in1955-1960 are deceased. Founding member and last surviving member Herb Reed died in 2012.

Thank you. ❤

Might be lip sync, but that’s ok
TONY VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL THIS SONG TAKE YOU TO THE 50S ❤❤❤
No hay comparacion el mejor grupo de plater.no habra otro ygual y ni lo habra .
Tony Williams maybe the greatest voice in all of the 50's and 60's.
YES YES YES
All time , he and Javier solis .
Whatever happened to him?
Probably so. His ,for lack of a better word,replacement,Sonny Turner was magical himself.
I thought every Platters songs in the early days,Tony Williams was their only leader,I also know but don't remember when Tony Williams left to go out on his own !! someone please name 2 or 3 songs Turner was the lead singer for the Platters so I can hear how good he was
No vulgar antics or lyrics like the music of today; just pure talent with a God given voice!!!!
simply Fantastic. 🌹🌹
One more time for the Gipper.
Platter’s The Best of the World’s Best’s ever and will never be surpassed.
Facts
Pure class act. Great singer Tony and great backing vocals and one beautiful woman.
the beautiful woman was his little sister and when they =started out he had to take her to rehearsals
@@johnmacur7872 I did not know that but her name was Zola Taylor and his was Tony Williams. And yes. she was very beautiful. Check out the you tube video, The Platters The Great Pretender, great close up shots of her.
@@Daniel-ow2ioDe toute beauté, solaire ❤🙏
I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show when I was just a kid and I thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.
Beautiful, beautiful memories. This is talent real singing and heavenly harmonizing. Oh the nostalgia. I'm a little girl again. 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😘😘😘😘❤❤❤❤❤🥰❤❤❤
Tony Williams, a pure tenor voice, the like of which we never see today. And what a joy Zola Taylor is,
It will always be number one in my heart Only you and only you the platters
Heavenly voice 😍Tony Williams and his fellow singers ,truly one of the best musician in the world ever existed 👏👏👏❤
In my opinion. The greatest voice ever, to get behind a microphone. R.I.P my brother🙏🏾
Though we cant turn back the hands of time but ur music lives on godbless platters
Absolutely
Difficult to say that'cos you are getting all singers together in "the crooners" period of time, but yes I get you. Don't forget Nat King Cole 😉✌🏽
I’m a big Nat King Cole fan. But I’ll give Tony Williams the edge over him because of his range. However, they were both great singers….
@@CharlieS76 they said in their opinion. So they can say that. Nat was good but not this guy good.
They may be gone but not forgotten 🎶🇺🇲💯👍
Yes!!
Indeed
This is so beautiful the platters were and always will be the greatest group ever produced , and will be played a hundred years from now , Shirley h Darlington England 🌹⭐👍😘✋
These songs from the Platters takes me back over 50 years. Thank you!!
Too bad they don’t have songs like this anymore.
Sixty nine years ago, people. And here we are. Listening to Tony Williams, Herb Reed, Paul Robi, Zola Taylor and David Lynch. I can't think of any present groups capable of doing that...if I knew who they were.
Amen.
AT 83 I still soo admire rthe contributions of this group & Tony to great popular music!!!
I love the Platters any song they sing is fantastic, it remind me of my youth , merci beaucoup.
It'strue
Oja pudiera seguir con esta linea de mUsica. Muchas gracias,por los recuerdos.🤔😷🤗💙
One of those Great Songs this Group sang, and did it so well. It is still nice to listen it so many years later, as quality never goes out of date.
One of the best groups ever not to mention the mid 50's maybe the best at the time!
In my heart I believe that Tony and the platters are probably the greatest most beautiful artist since they started until now. Just listen to one of their songs and I think everyone would agree
The undying songs of The Platters still reverberate in my mind after the passing of time.
i feel the same way brother
I hope their music never dies. People will need to hear this in a hundred years...❤
Not as long as I'm alive or any generation that loves this. Our music will survive us.
One thousand years in the future somewhere in the asteroid belt, this song will be playing on a jukebox in a rough & tumble miners' bar. The drinks will be strong, the memories bittersweet. Nostalgia will never die. 💙
They were the best ever
No one could touch Tony singing.
Definitely one of my favorite groups. I listen to them all the time. Amen!
How nice they dressed in the fifties Love the group. Good job
Brings back so many beautiful memories hearing them sing again.
One of the greatest groups ever
I wish i could go back in time and see them perform live.
If you find a way i wanna go too!

신기한 목소리..
My absolute favorite group of all time! No one can sing “The Great Pretender” or “Harbor Lights” like they can.
One of the best groups of the 50s and the 60s love the platters
I loved them ever since I was a teenager.... thousands of years later.... I STILL DO!!!
Marvelous all the way! God given talent! Even the satisfied look on the instrument players, as the time was shared with them, seemed to say, there's no place on Earth I'd rather be, than right here! Thanks for putting them on!🌈💖⚘

So far I haven't found another singer that sounds exactly like Tony Williams in spite of how hard they yry
Schade das es so großartige Musik heute nicht mehr gibt
Tony Williams did not need backup singers. His voice was enough to thrill you.
Verdades emoção pura
