      He's hearing music as a single thing rather than splitting it all up into genres or cool vs not cool or old vs current. In other words he's become a true music lover.

    The Platters are one of the greatest vocal groups of The 20th Century.
    "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "The Magic Touch", " My Prayer ", " Twilight Time" are among their best recordings. However, "The Great Pretender" might be the greatest recording of all-time.
    Legendary group.

    My husband came of age in the fifties. He loves these groups.

Oh, when he plays, it is so wonderful, I get chills.

    “Platter” commonly known as a record player’s turntable that spins vinyl discs. Hence, The Platters name was born! Shortly before going into the studio to re-record Only You for Mercury Records, 15-year-old Zola Taylor joined the all-male vocal group breaking the gender divide, a rarity back in the 1950s. In 1955, Only You (and You Alone) was played on the radio by legendary DJ Alan Freed, launching The Platters to the top of the U.S. music charts! Considered the most romantic of all the early rock & roll groups (that is, the ultimate in “make-out music”), The Platters produced hit after hit. The quintet effortlessly achieved domestic and international chart success with multiple tracks, including the timeless hits The Great Pretender, My Prayer, Twilight Time, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Harbor Lights, and many more. This success established The Platters as the classiest, groundbreaking vocal group of the early rock & roll era. Lead singer Tony Williams.

ALAN FREED started out as a DJ in my hometown of CLEVELAND, OHIO and was the person who coined the phrase "ROCK AND ROLL" and held the FIRST "ROCK AND ROLL BALL here in Cleveland at the Cleveland Arena in the early '50s, it was called the "MOONDOG BALL" He grew up in Salem, Ohio which is about an hour drive southeast of Cleveland.

    When i was 3 years old, 1967, my dad left for Vietnam. My mom was teaching school, and my Grandmother babysat me. Not only did i enjoy going to the barn with my Grandfather to collect eggs. Feed chickens, hogs, and cows. Milk the cow, and enjoy my Grandmothers breakfast cooking, but i got to discover my mom's record collection from her teen years that got left at her mothers house. Among all those records was The Platters. This very album!! Only You, The Great Pretender, My Prayer, and others. We didnt know skin color back then. I just loved to listen to the music. Guys, i still have that record album today. It was bought in the 50's so you can imagine, its not in the best condition, but in this age of digital clean music, its still a joy every now and then, to put an lp on the record player and listen to that scratch, pop and crackle.

    🇬🇧 My mam absolutely loved this song, & the group. Mam died in 2022 at 80 years old, (she had Dementia). She didn't know me, my sister, or my two brothers during the last 2 years of her life. But when we played her favourite songs, she could remember every word. Love & miss you mam, and Dad, always. ❤💔
    RIP Mam 1942 - 2022. Dad 1940 - 2017

    If you enjoyed this, you will REALLY enjoy The Platters version of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." It truly showcases the fantastic voice of lead singer Tony Williams.

    I was born in the early 50's but I remember these songs because my mother loved them. The Platters, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathers and many others. Elvis came along a little latter and I fell in love with him at 6 years old. I had two teen age sisters in the 50's so I heard all the rock and roll songs on the stereo.

    The lead voice is the late great Tony Williams who was a superb tenor.The man was pure class,great diction,beautiful tone,breathing technique. His transition to the headnote was effortless.I have always suspected that this man had some experience in classical music.You should listen to My Prayer and Harbour Lights. Do this ASAP.

      Another great singer of this era that I dont believe you have done is Jerry Butler "The Iceman" Wonderful voice. "For Your Precious Love" , " Let it Be Me", "Never Gonna Give You Up" are a few of his top hits.

    My husband & I were just talking about this fabulous group, after hearing them sing this, one of our old faves from way back. We never knew back in the 50s, 60s & 70s just how fortunate we were to have the opportunities we did to hear the golden music from that time. Oh, we loved & appreciated the songs, singers, bands and all - but we didn't realize it would go away, never to come again in such wonderful quality/quantity. However, we do know just how blessed we are to have our many reactors, and the ability to watch younger people like Rob Squad hear that great music for the first time all over again! It's truly an amazing experience, and we can have it over and over again. Thanks! Love you guys!👏👏
