Tony Williams has one of the most beautiful voices ever.
yep!
Their voices were incredible timeless and for years their music will still be played.
The sad part and leave it to me to bring this up it was 1955 , times were so different. Im glad over the year things changed.
I was 5 years old in 55 and I have to say the music I grew up with was so much better than what we're hearing nowadays
His voice is piercing
He also had a beautiful, natural vibrato.
No,he had the greatest voice.The oly person who comes close to him was Sam Cooke - and its a distant second.
I’m sitting here in tears realizing how blessed I am to have grown up during those times. We were blessed with beautiful music and memories and in my opinion a beautiful time to have been alive. Thanks guys, Peace & Love ♥️😎
Yes, I can relate to this. So did I. Take care.
Me too John. Me too
Me too. We had it all
Me too ty
tONY WILLIAMS IS LEAD SINGER OF THE pLATTERS
Mel: "Why did we get stuck with today's music?" I agree with you Mel. That's why I rarely listen to anything made after 1999.
I'd say 1979!
@@827dusty I like a lot of songs up until 1990. My favorite decade of music is 1975 to 1985.
LOL! Mel is a romantic! Imagine slow-dancing to that. sigh
@@intheparlance I can imagine slow dancing to a lot of songs pre 1980
I stopped listening to the radio when "losing my religion" was on the radio ...constantly
Their biggest hit in the UK was 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes' which topped the charts !
YES!! Love that song!!
Can't hear smoke gets in your eyes without thinking of Shirley bassy singing it on the morcombe and wise show lol.great song though
amen
My FAV
No autotune, real voice and talent. Please, try The Platters "the great pretender" and "smoke gets in your eyes"
Absolutely Mariana!! Great suggestions!!
...and "I'm Sorry" and "Twilight Time." There are videos of The Platters available.
I'm not coping with the crap that comes as " music " today, so I just listen to the 50's to the 80's ... Thank you for your showing us this.
The Platters were a great group with many top 40 hits back in the 50's. Another one of their greatest hits was " The Great Pretender" (1955). "Only You" (1955) which you are reacting to here is just one of their greatest hits. Here are some other hits you need to react too. "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" (1959) " Twilight Time" (1958) and "My Prayer." All are great hits to react to. You can not go wrong going down the rabbit hole that are "The Platters." Mel... What you just witness was greatness! In an era with no auto tune. Just pure vocal talent...Great reaction as always.
Excellent suggestions.
I was born in 1957, When I first heard of The Platters, Frankie Valle, and the like, when I was about 8 yrs old 1965, My parents had 100s of 45 & 33 rpm records that was heard constantly, love this music.
Don’t forget Harbor Lights
Sentimental Journey
The Platters were known as the best doo-wop group of the time, ironically they only sang love ballads. But they were great and would would still be good today.
The Platters were my favorite group. No one like Tony Williams.
Other hits by the Platters are "The Great Pretender", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" and "Twilight Time".
Tony Williams was the lead singer,and one of the greatest voices I’ve ever heard,I grew up with this music…
It was originally recorded by The Platters with lead vocals by Tony Williams in 1955.
the great pretender is a must try for you guys
Phenomenal voice. Very successful group back then. It's Twilight Time. My Prayer and the Great Pretender are great also. This is one example why the 50s and 60s were the greatest decades for music
The platters the original crooner group, they took love songs to another level back in the 50s and 60s. A song I have a song for you but I'll let you pick any Teddy pendergrass live. You'll see the magic that his voice can do to a female audience. What I would suggest feel the fire with Stephanie Mills.
My parents were young adults in 1955, and do-wop music played at home then. Hearing it again made my heart melt.
My Grandfather, Tony Williams’ voice was heaven sent! Thank you. You guys gotta listen to “smoke gets in your eyes” and review that one. =)
Tony in my opinion is the most underrated vocalist in history
If angels sing ishould imagine they sound something like this peerless 6:16 6:21
you are damn right....older music is so much better....older times where also better
Such a great reaction! I was born in 1955. So I grew up in probably THE BEST ERA of popular music! We got to have this music as part of the Soundtrack of our lives! There was such a diversity of music in those years! I am SO GLAD you are exploring it now. You won't be disappointed! I look forward to watching your reaction videos!
Diversity is a real key word here. In this era music had no boundaries. It was for everyone and we all came together for concerts even in this era of segregation. They passed over into the gay community and although not the first music icons for the gay population; they were the first to reach mega popularity among gays worldwide. They did this while maintaining mainstream popularity. They were just phenomenal in every respect.
TONY WILLIAM IS LEAD SINGER OF THE PLATTERS
Lots of great songs by the Platters.
These 1950’s black groups had some of the best voices. DooWap love songs never go out of style. They helped bring the races together during some volatile times in our country. American music has NO match in the world.
Oh ya? What about British rock?
We grew as a people with this music.
I'm old ; this is my music , and I'm very glad to see you two wonderful young people discovering and enjoying it too
I have goosebumps everytime I listen to The Platters. Love them.
This was the 50s and the platters were a big influence on Berry Gordy and Motown!
AMAZING!!! Agreed, “why don’t get this music?” This music was so pure and simple ❤️
It's shocking that people 60 yrs ago were way Cooler than we ever could be. Drop Dead Perfect. RIP Tony Williams! If this doesn't bring you to tears your not alive!
Shawn & Mel, you are both such a breath of fresh air.
The Platters were top shelf singers always seemed to have a top 10 hit on the "Billboard 100" music chart every week in the 1950s. Such amazing music. The Platters were A-list performers who were on tv and known and respected by other artists as well. "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "The Great Pretender," and "Twilight Time." Huge hits by The Platters.
Thanks
"My Prayer" is a beautiful song by The Platters that David Lynch used in Twin Peaks: The Return in 2017
Well, the return was just plain awful after the original series, but, yeah, Lynch certainly knew good music, as with Bobby Vinton's 'Blue Velvet' in his, ummm, 'Blue Velvet' film.
I loved when you said you guys got struck with today's music.. Back when i was growing up there was sooo much great music.. But better late than never lol
Back in the day , the Platters were my favorite slow dance group ... kids today don't know what dancing is all about ! So many good memories of better times !
The Platters my mom's favorite performers when she was young. That generation did not think the music of the late 60s and 70's was too aggressive. People like my mom feel that todays music is just obscene or the people don't have the talent compared to those performer back then.
The Platters was one of the greatest groups I was only five when the hit came out and I still remember my mother played it all the time around the house, and I still play all my classical soul music😍💞
You can never go wrong with "The Platters" now this is what I call music!!!!! I thank my Parents everyday for making us listen to their music and appreciate good music!!!!!
I am 75 and I can remember dancing to that every time they sang. What wonderful harmonies. We loved the platters.
This song came out the year I was born - 1955. There will never be another era as wonderful as the 1950's.
I love her comment, "and we are stuck with the music in this generation?"
As a child of the 1970s (I was between 8 and 18 in that decade), I love Doo Wop music (the popular music style from approximately 1955 to 1962). The 1970s were a decade filled with 1950s nostalgia. We had the movie American Graffiti, and TV shows Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. My junior high school had 50s days where kids would dress like the 1950s and doo wop music would abound.
The Platters were one of the biggest acts of that era. I always had a crush on Zola Taylor, the woman in the group (may she rest in peace). The lead tenor singer was Tony Williams.. They had several big hits, but two that you must check out are "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" and "The Great Pretender."
💓💓💓 Love this Song, Also ''The Great Pretender''.is a 💗💗💗.
Yes ! "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is an absolutely beautiful song ! Please play this.
They were performing in Japan at the Navy base where my friends were having their wedding reception, and they came over and sang this song for them.
Also born in 1955,grew up with the best music of all time,I wish you guys were with us,so much fun, more music from the 50's,60's and 70's please, you will enjoy 😎 thanks 🏹
The platter’s sang this song to me in a concert in the 80’s. Called me by name and I was front and center. I never forgot it. An amazing memory ❤️
Yes! This IS magic! The magic of that masterful musical era that still touches the deepest part of your soul ♥️
Yes,aren’t they great !❤️
It’s from 1955 I think .
You’re not alone in thinking you’ve been born
in the wrong time ,Mel 😊
I was born 64’ ,and by golley I was to late !😂
There is so much great stuff out there . The platters have done several songs,and they all stand out . Such as ” the great pretender”, Twilight time”, My prayer” .
Love your faces! Love it! How many of you oldies out there remember all the lines... I'm singing here!
Right here! I had my mom buy me a record of their hits when I was in elementary school. I went on to the two set best hits on cassette and then CD. 😊
Based on your reactions, I'm assuming this was the first time you heard the Platters. You're reactions were priceless. I'm 77 and grew up with music like this and the Platters were always the best. Welcome to my world.
Now do The Flamingos, "I Only Have Eyes For You"!
Thx! 1955 this came out. I was born a year later. But I grew up with their songs, and now you are too! The further back in time you go with music the more amazing worlds are revealed! Love!
So smooth...their sound was just beautiful. What a beautiful love song!
Elvis loved The Platters. That lead singer has an amazing voice.❤️
My dad was an acapella singer and he used to sing this at home. Beautiful memories and a beautiful song too. What voices!
You have just unleashed the beast. Smoke get in your eyes, my prayer etc. love the Platters still. Classic music.
Now THAT , my brother and sister , is REAL MUSIC 🎵🎶
Love your reactions guys. This song ‘Only You’ was released by The Platters in 1955. Glad you liked it. Welcome to where great music and real talent began. 🤠🎸
Wonderful reaction. You two have just been privileged to hear one of the finest male vocalists of the 20th century- Mr. Tony Williams. 1955 footage; do-wop genre. Such mesmerizing gospel-style background harmony as well. You would also love "Twilight Time" as well, another of their well known hits.
Great music never gets old. This time era will allways be my favorite. So many unforgetible songs and singers and vocal groups. True talent is a rare thing nowadays.
Tony Williams. One of the best voices ever!👍
The Platters are fantastic singers and were world famous , still are. My 86 year old mother from Belgium is still playing this music on her CD player. Probably one of the most timeless groups. Every song from them is a hit, so many choices. One of my favorites is “ Harbor lights”.
The Platters were WONDERFUL!
You need to listen to more of their songs
Their 1950s recordings are what they are best known for, But they recorded some great records in the 1960s as well.Washed Ashore With this ring and I love you one thousand times. The last two were hits
This came out 9 years before my birth, and it was still consistently on the radio when I started listening to radio...along with the many other hits by them. Amazing artists.
This is the music people need to hear....true voices...beautiful words...makes you think of real life and love...this is where it starts...
One of the best groups of that era. Love this music.
Every time I hear this song, it takes me right to the movie American Graffiti! What a great film, starring a young Ron Howard, and many more! Susanne Sommers in the 56 T-bird!
I'm so glad you reacted to this group...Love the music of the 50's and 60's. There was no better.
Fantastic reaction!! I may have been one of many to request this song, but I thank you for reacting to it. I think you're beginning to understand why those of us who grew up in the '50s-'60s still listen to music from back then instead of the music of today.
The Platters were one of my favorites, this was some of my generations music!!! They were sooo talented, beautiful voices!!! This was a time when people had talent, natural talent, soul, love, feeling, emotion!! Today, you don't know if those we listen to can really sing or are they backed up with technology??? This group is just one reason my generation says, "we had the BEST music ever!" The 50's thru the 60's!
A very classy group who sounded wonderful. My Mom loved this group so much.
Real Artists and real music
Heavenly! Beautiful love song and Tony Williams had the voice of an angel. A super group and a class act for all time!
My dad bought a used record player once and the man gave him a platters album to test it out. I love this
One of the greatest groups I've ever heard. Totally awesome sound.
The platters had a ballroom class about them one of a kind voice great group no other word but great
The Platters had beautiful voices no one sang like them I remember it so well I find my self lucky because I was born at the right time to appreciate groups like these absolutely beautiful Love from Denise in Yorkshire England 🏴👏👏👏👏👏💕👏💕🥰💕🥰👍👋
It makes me so glad that you are rediscovering the great music I grew up with. I've tried for a long time to tell Millennials about this music and they just ignore me. I really think you and some of the other reaction channels may start to bring it back again, so THANK YOU BOTH VERY, VERY MUCH!
They were fabulous! Always loved the,!
They were so beautifully talented! That was heavenly!
If you wanted conformation that the stuff we have to put up with now is rubbish and I don't want to call it music this shows you the truth!
Another Platters song you would love: (1) The Platters - Remember When (2:42). Paul Anka wrote and sang many great songs. He wrote "My Way" for Frank Sinatra. Here's one of my favorites from 1958: (2) *Paul Anka* - You are my Destiny (2:47).
Great pick! One of my favorite songs of my childhood. Yes, even as a 70's-80's kid. ❤
One of my favorites by them is "The Great Pretender." I had just started following music on the radio in the 1950s (we didn't have a TV) and they were really big at that time.
Please do more platters amazing music
Besides the raw talent, I appreciate the class and the gentleness. That was peak civility!
"My Prayer" by the Platters is a masterpiece.
Love the Platters 😍 "twilight time " is probably my favourite
One of the best band of their time for sure. My mother Loved their music and rained me on it. They are truly amazing.
That man has the one of the best voices in a generation.
This is giving me chills. I remember the Platters because my mother played them a lot and they were on TV quite a bit. Great music and singing without computers and auto tune.
Zola Taylor was one of the most sweetest, humble, warm, friendly, gracious ladies i've ever met. she had a way of talking to people as if they were old friends.
My Grandma loved them, definitely check out the rest of their music. The platters were so influential. Thank you both for playing this.
I'm so very glad I heard these songs on radio in 1960's the platters were the bomb!
Chills, chills, chills! My mom played their albums a lot! Love your reactions, please do more!💖💖💖
What a voice he has!
Love the Platters. My favorite song by them is Little things mean a lot. Absolutely beautiful. Love you guys
she said "i'm hear to learn" xD what a sweetheart
My Mother educated me with the music she so loved. This was her era. Every time I hear this song and others, I always think of her and how much I miss her. Thanks Guys! 🤩😂
This is true voice, no props just great voices
Now you see how truly beautiful music can be from all genres and dates. The Platters are amazing so please dive deep. Peace
Rochell & The Candles & Johnny Wyatt - Once Upon A Time - Johnny Wyatt freaken unbelievable Voice and the Bass Singer is amazing!!
