And see how beautiful the lady singer is. With only her arms and shoulders showing without a deep plunging front, like is so popular now, she was Effortlessly classy in the most feminine and lovely way. Some later and more current preforming artists should see this video. I loved their voices...pure Talent!
The Platters simply class. You can understand every word.
One of their most famous songs is Only you ♥️♥️♥️♥️ which I love with my heart. And My prayer, Smoke gets In your eyes and Twilight time
Classic. Perfection.
I don't know about anyone else but I get goose bumps listening to these old songs. All of them
I'm there too simply beautiful.
In 1955 "The Great Pretender" hit the airwaves as I was in first grade. The Platters ruled the radio then. This song has become a part of my soul.
💞
You can’t beat the Platters! They could have had their own station, They had so any hits!
my mom's favorite group ... grew up listening to them in the fifties. still a devoted fan
Yes my brother
You two are the sweetest couple. Congratulations on your love for each other.
"Smoke gets in your eyes" is a must
The Platters are the ones that got me hooked on 50s and 60s Doo-Wop music! Please go down the rabbit hole with The Platters!!! My favorites of theirs are My Prayer, The Great Pretender, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Twilight Time, You’ll Never Never Know, On My Word Of Honor, (You’ve Got) The Magic Touch, and I’m Sorry.
Oh, and be sure to watch the 80s movie titled Mischief which is what made me fall in love with this genre.
This is what you call music.
I love this song
BRILLIANCE!!!!!!!!! Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!! Now. On to THE TEMPTATIONS !!!!!!!!! :D --Thanks Shawn and Mel. So entertaining ♥
Love this group!!! I was only 9 when my parents played this song on their turn table. I believe they had a 33 1/2 vinyl record. That is old stuff!
I've always loved this group and this song. I can identify,,,,,
I was a ten year old white boy and I loved this sound. Little Richard and Fats domino were also favorites back then.
Great reaction to these timeless oldies
It's nice to see you younger people enjoying this...I've enjoyed it my more than a half century of life...It only gets better with age...So many Great artist to hear...It's a life time pursuit...
Your ears have been officially blessed! Next, "Twilight Time" pure romance; after that, the Shirelles, "Will You Still Love me Tomorrow"; The Crystals, "And Then He Kissed Me"; all golden era top 5 hits. If you don't love them, I'll buy dinner.
This was the best generation of music.
ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGING GROUPS EVER !!
Just beautiful. I could listen to this all day.
The Platters were pure class. I’m so glad We got so much from them. All of them classics. They blend so well, I doubt they need any musical accompaniment.
They had a lot of hits!!
This is why me and my age group listen to this older music. the best .
Great music! Fantastic talent! Never to be out done! Absolutely love these folks!
One of the greatest songs ever..............
Tony Williams amazing voice stunning
Yesllord
Phenomenal singer, one of the best Doowop beautiful songs ever. No music can compare to mid 50s and all 60s in my opinion.
1955. One of the great groups. Same time as Elvis and Heartbreak Hotel. Gene Pitney. Johnny Mathis Bill Haley. The start of rock and roll.
Guys you MUST react to Genadi Tkachenko on Georgia's Got Talent. His sounds of earth singing style will absolutely BLOW YOUR MIND, and probably make you cry. It's beyond beautiful!
Some songs are just perfect. Music. Lyrics. Voices. Just everything
The Platters I love you 1000 times
The best song ever!
So beautiful!! I love the Platters!!
I'm 73 and my #1 favorite song since it came out is Twilight Time. I think it's their most beautiful song.
And no electronics. Just a mic. Amazing
Tony Williams was the real deal. Saw them live in 1956 at an Alan Freed concert at the Brooklyn Paramount Theater.
He’s my favourite ever vocalist….I’m so jealous 😉
I was at the Times Square Paramount where I saw Alal Freed spectacular all star show. I guess I was about 14 and after the show we hang out by the back stag door to get autographs. My sister and I lost our money and had to go to the cups that put us on the subway home for free. We never told our parents or we would have been in trouble.
The Platters were huge when I was a kid, one hit after another, check "Twilight Time", "Harbor Lights", "Smoke Gets in your Eyes", "Only You", do more Coasters "Poison Ivy", Searchin'", "Along Came Jones", and then dive into THE INK SPOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
His voice is almost is out of this world.
This era of sound moved the listener to live and be the best they can be.
Another banger! They music and his voice are so underrated!
Also although the lady never did a solo but I always thought she was stunningly beautiful.
The beautiful voice of Tony Williams, lead singer of the Platters. Must listen to the Platters, "My Prayer."1
The Platters are FIRE! And this song reminds me of another song about pretending to be happy when you're world is upside down. Check out THE MIRACLES and their song TEARS OF A CLOWN.
Pure class , pure silk the man's voice is like Bailey's Irish Coffee GOAT ....
Queen did an awesome rendition of this song as well.
Great song great vocals by tony Williams
I don't know if you've heard Jay and the Americans sing Cara Mia but you'd love it. They also did one when Jay was much older and could STILL sing. They were great
always loved this song, simply beautiful.
My favorite by them is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, second favorite Only You!
Only you is a very very famous song of theirs I love it. ♥️❤️
They did Only You not that long ago.
Sleepy lagoon is another favorite
I remember being at a pub with my parents when we were down at the Staten Island Ferry...My mom walks over to the jukebox and puts this record on. I was probaby 10 or 11 years old and they had formed two years before i was born, but when I heard it I was an immediate fan of the Platters. They were beautiful both in looks and talent. Perfect album. The epitome of classic. The young lady was stunning.
I would like to thank whom ever requested this song. It is my favorite song by The Platers
Classico inesquecível
I remember this well. They have awesom songs. Like Twilite, and only you.
Fan that man down he's FIRE ....great song great reaction...
"Twilight Time" and "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" are two other hits by the Platters.
Did they not do a version of Only You ? ( or have Shawn and Mel done that ?)
@@highpath4776 they did that one. You should watch their amazing reaction.
Twilight Time is such a beautiful song...The Platters were one of the greats...
I was 9 years old in 1959, and I absolutely adored playing the song on my grandfather's old Victrola.
Tony Williams, lead singer from 1953 to 1960 had one of the best voices ever.
I ran the stage and boards for Paul and Buck, (left two guys in the picture) until they retired in 1986. One of their final tours as a whole band again was
The Leagonds of MOTOWN reunion tour.
It wasn't long after that the band started passing on. Buck was the last to leave us at 93 in 2007
Tony Williams lead singer is deceased, but the group is still performing. The Great Pretender was released in 1956. Zola is deceased.
Definitely my favorite Platters song. There's just something about it that makes you feel so good. Love this 😀❤️ Listen to the Platters song called "My Prayer"
Always loved this song!!! One of the greatest of all time!
I saw them sing live. One of the greatest groups in the 1950's. Fabulous music. They worked at a LA hotel as car parking valets and during their breaks they practiced their harmonies. Then they hit the big time and they were the greatest.
You two are so cute..I love watching you enjoy such great music from my era.
The Platters music gives me the kind of goosebumps that go all the way to the scalp. Just a phenomenal group
A true gem from The Platters. I remember stopping playing as a child just to listen to them while I didn't even know a word of english. Near 70 years old now and still gets my attention.
In the movie, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, a hit by the late Frankie Lymon of the same time frame, Halle Berry played Zola Taylor and they sang this song on stage, and the sound was amazing as the camera came thru the door and up to the stage. Another absolutely beautiful Platters tune ( and there were many) is Enchanted. Give it a listen
The way they harmonized was perfect. 👍😁
l know l'm 11 months too late, but i absolutely love the Platters, they were such a talented and elegant group and this song is my favourite, an absolute classic tear jerker......🙂
Check out the Platters, "I Love You 1000 Times," my personal favorite!
This was popular on the radio as I grew up in the 1950s....the sounds is very 50s and cuts it still in 2022...@ classic. 👍🤗
My Dad used to have a Jukebox for 78 records...and I used to play this song Alot!! It was on the top of my play list! I loved this song and lead singer was at the top of his game!
They were so smooth! I was blessed to grow up in the 70s and 80s when turntables were still a thing and my grandmother would always play her records when we visited. I got to hear a lot of this type of music. In a way, it became my standard for whether or not a singer and their music was good; did they sound as good live as they did on the radio. Back in the day, without the technology we have today, they had to really be able to sing before a record label would even consider them. They had to have that 'something special' like this group had.
In the 50's this band was famous and I grew up with it in our house as well, because my father was a big fan.👍
Next one by The Platters has got to be "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"! 👍❤
💖💖💖💖Thanks, I Love this Music and I Love U for Playing it.
Such beautiful voices, right?! My parents had The Platters’ album with this song, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes, Only You, My Prayer, and more, and I would listen to it for hours when I was still very young. So good. Y’all are adorable and sweet! Love y’all! God bless💖🌸
This group had out a whole truck load of hits in the 50s and I love them all!
"Ebb Tide", "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "The Magic Touch", "Twilight Time", "Red Sails In the Sunset", "You'll Never Know", "My Prayer".... All great songs!!!❤❤❤
She was one of 3 women married to Frankie Lyman at the same time back then. Frankie Lyman and the Teenagers.
❤️❤️❤️ So classic, and they are all dressed so beautifully and their talent, fire !!
I love the Platters!!! I watch their videos as often as I can. Every song they sing is great!!! All five are great!!! But there is no other singer like Tony Williams, the lead singer. If I remember correctly, all the singers of this group are gone now. Someone correct me, if I’m wrong.
This is true unbridled talent
No autotune,no computer crap here
Awesome song such a classic 50's 🎵 🎶 song❤✌
My sister had this record on 45. Loved the Platters.
Yes, the beautiful Zola Taylor! I have always had a crush on her. Sadly, She passed away in her 60s. She was married for a while to Frankie Lyman, frontman of "The Teenagers," most famous for the song "Why do Fools Fall in Love." A movie of the same name was made of Lyman's life story. Next on your Platters reaction list: "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." This is another sad song, featured prominently in the movie American Graffiti.
You will absolutely love Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by The Platters.
I still have my dads original record of The Platters don’t play it much since he died but remember the memories Thankyou
I think he is one of the greatest singers.
This was one of my mom's favorite songs. She loved this and "Only You" by this same group.
Please play 'Ole man river' by my favourite old time singer "Paul Robeson" , whose sympathies lay with the working class and civil rights. He was truly 'the greatest.' Subscribed.
This is a great song with a group that played the Apollo and the Cotton club.
Yesssssss, my late dad favorite singing group. He bought all their records. They still are great, giving me goosebumps.
I saw this so quick that I clicked on the video and clicked like as soon as the video started. I thought I would tell you I've seen The Platters live once. In 2003. Yes they were older and sounded just as good. I even got to talk them and The Drifters. They were at my high school for the 50th anniversary in 2003.
❤️❤️🥰❤️❤️ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I’ve always loved this song!!! Great choice and lovely reaction!!! ❤️❤️🥰🥰❤️❤️ With love to you both, always, ~ Laura💞
So many hits from this group. Check out what mikimike said "Smoke gets in your Eyes" Probably their best song and also "You've got that magic touch" and i always liked " Sleepy Lagoon".
No auto tune just talent.
Freddie Mercury covered this song as one of his solo projects! Give it a listen!
Don't forget about "My Prayer" Harmony at it's Best. JMHO
One of the best of all DooWop songs.The lyrics are amazing the way they flow. Love this.
I know you’re to young to remember but this song was played on Happy Days. Great music. ❤️❤️
I can remember my mother sweeping and mopping the floor while dancing to this song. She adored the Platters. She died this past July and I buried her on my birthday. This has been the worst year of my life, but moments like this, that are bittersweet, can still make me smile. I loved your reaction and I'll be a subscriber as long as you have your channel. I love the fact that you don't swear or use curse words. It's just friendly, real and upbeat.
Thank you for sharing that sweet memory with us! It's so hard to lose a parent, no matter how old we are. You have my sympathy.
Sad to hear also
I'm sure your mum sent you the platters to let you know she is near you💕 and ONLY YOU 🤫
Australia 💕 Christina
