The Platters are one of the greatest vocal groups in history. Their best hits include:
"My Prayer", " Only You", Harbor Lights", Magic Touch", Twilight Time" and arguably the greatest song of the rock era: "The Great Pretender".
Freddie Mercury and Queen do a cover of "The Great Pretender", with an entirely different meaning to the lyrics.
The Great Pretender absolutely the greatest song of the era!
The Great Pretender being best song of the era is no lie! One of the best songs ever.
Only you and twilight time are my all time favorites 🎶🎧
Great Pretender was my dad's favorite song. I miss him more than anything, but hearing the song feels so good.
The crooners were still big when Elvis came into popularity and The Platters were great and still are never forgotten ❤
That's so amazing because they were so critical to that era! I'm a Gen Xer, and an old soul lol This was my parents' music, but whenever my Dad would put on those old LPs of crooners like Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, The Mills Brothers, The Platters, etc., on the record player, you could hear the crackling of the needle as the songs would play out... oh it was just one of the most magical times of my childhood. 🥰
❤️- love these guys
Music like this is priceless. You will never hear any music as great as this kind/style/type/genre ever again. Songs, lyrics, melodies like this are from an era gone by. Unlike today this was when musicians played and singers actually sang, no autotune and The Platters are fantastic.
Thank God for these videos! I would hate to be stuck with what is playing today!
You do not have to disrespectful the musicians of today, you know nothing about them, obviously
Look up Angelina Jordan.
Just a note on the term "priceless" in regards to music. If we (the world) had never heard the song before and it came out today, it would still seem groundbreaking. This song does just that. It IS priceless.
After more than 60 years, we remember the great stuff and forget the dross. Time is a great filter. I'm pretty sure that in 60 years time there will be folks saying there will never be music as good as the 2020s. Of course, we don't know which songs that will be, any more than folks in the 50s knew it would be The Platters cover of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" we remember, and not Charlie Drake's cover of "Splish Splash".
They were performing in a club where my friends were having their wedding reception. The Platters came over and sang several songs for them. Nice folks
That's so sweet! Where was it?
Wow! What a precious memory to have of one's wedding reception!
It was in Yokosuka Japan. We were all poor enlisted folks
@@gypsygirl3255 enlisted folks- as in enlisted in the Army?

Tony Williams is the VOICE!!!
One of the best singers of all time
In my opinion, the best I’ll ever hear. ‘My Prayer’ is my favourite
Tony Williams.
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" was recorded in 1958 by The Platters. Written by American musical theatre composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach, “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” was first introduced by singer and actress Tamara Drasin in the 1933 musical Roberta. When the smoke gets in your eyes you tear up. It is a metaphor for when you fall in love and then break up.
ᴛ᷈͟͟ʜ᷈͟͟ᴀ᷈͟͟ɴ᷈͟͟ᴋ᷈͟͟ꜱ᷈͟͟~͟~͟
Kern first wrote the tune for "Showboat" (1927). They didn't use it. Then he wrote a marching version for something else, they didn't use that either. Finally, with Harbach's lyrics, it was used in the Roberta musical, as the O.P. said. That in turn was made into a film with Irene Dunne in 1935. Clip below.
It's been recorded by a ton of artists. But the Platters version kind of eclipses everything else.

And also, the smoke from a burning love can blind you to what's really going on in a relationship.
Another classic featured on the American Graffiti soundtrack from the scene where sweethearts Steve and Laurie are compelled to dance a solo at the sock hop moments after they've been fighting. So in synch with young love.
@@Verlopil That's how I always understood this song, cuz the line: When your heart's on fire, you must realize smoke gets in your eyes."
I love the lyrics. It starts with love being blind because of the smoke from his heart on fire. At the end, when his true love left, he blames his tears on the smoke from the ashes of the dying love. The whole relationship in two minutes. Amazing voice.
ᴛ᷈͟͟ʜ᷈͟͟ᴀ᷈͟͟ɴ᷈͟͟ᴋ᷈͟͟ꜱ᷈͟͟~͟~͟
Be prepared to be blown away. One of the GOAT groups…
ᴛ᷈͟͟ʜ᷈͟͟ᴀ᷈͟͟ɴ᷈͟͟ᴋ᷈͟͟ꜱ᷈͟͟~͟~͟
Lead tenor Tony Williams. The members changed slightly over the years, but Tony Williams was the tenor on this and other most successful hits. "The Great Pretender" is probably the best known and remembered.
This was 1958 because my parents were still in high school. I remember listening to this as a little girl and 58 yrs later, I'm still listening to it.
The Platters would have never been the Platters without the amazing work of Buck Ram. He tuned them from also rans at Federal to superstars at Mercury. All the production and much of the writing on their non-cover hits were all his work.
Watching Amber's eye's go into trance mode after 3 words out of that man's lips is priceless! Probably one of the best voices of that time for sure.
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes", written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach for the 1933 musical "Roberta".
Jay & Amber, you'll Love their "The Great Pretender", "My Prayer", "At Twilight Time", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch" and
"You'll Never Never Know"!!!!
The next one of the Platters,-(The Great Pretender), I think they will love it.
ᴛ᷈͟͟ʜ᷈͟͟ᴀ᷈͟͟ɴ᷈͟͟ᴋ᷈͟͟ꜱ᷈͟͟~͟~͟
At Twilight Time was featured in a sci-fi show, (I think The X-Files, at a spooky place where it played repeatedly. So unfortunately the song now gives me a spooky feeling anytime I hear it.
@@walterrutherford8321 Yes, you are right. It was in an X Files episode called "Kill Switch". It was on a kill switch CD that played the song when it was loaded into a player.
I grew up watching my parents dance to this song in our living room at night. They were married 48 years and my mother said my dad was the "love of her life". She lived 20 years without him but missed him everyday. Thank you for the beautiful memories
Lyrics, “When your hearts on fire…smoke gets in your eyes.” And earlier, “All who love are blind,” The fire of love will blind from the smoke that follows a love (fire) that dies. He thought his love was too strong until it was “blown away” and he was now “without my love.” When his friends laugh and deride him he finally realizes the truth that when that lovely flame dies it produces smoke that bring tears to the eyes. That seems to fit!
The Platters were the class group of the 50s. Tony Williams' voice was a gift that he shared with all who listened. Hit after hit after hit.
Man, oh man, OH MAN!! Songs this great are rarely done today!
It's been mentioned a few times, and I have to second and reiterate it: The Platters "The Great Pretender" is one of the greatest songs of the early rock, and really, any era. Do yourself, and the rest of us, a favor and give it a watch. Please.
There's nothing wrong with checking out some of these classic songs. 50s & 60s music is often very good. I appreciate a lot of this era of music because my mom was really into the oldies.
"Twilight Time" and "Only You" by them, are two of my favorites. My grandmother used to play their music for us when we were kids, and her own kids grew up listening to her and my grandfather play it. 🙂

"Ebb Tide", "Harbor Lights", and "If I Didn't Care" are also great Platters songs. So smooooooooth!
Love, love, love The Platters! They just make you want to sit and sway. It's "dreamy" music! Another great group is "The Inkspots".
So glad I grew up with this music.
Original members of the Platters were Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, Herb Reed and Zola Taylor
There was nothing more dreamy and romantic as slow dancing to the Platters Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.
The two names I know are the lead tenor singer is Tony Williams and the female vocalist is the lovely Zola Taylor. I get tears in my eyes every time with this tune. Another great Platters hit is "The Great Pretender." This song has a prominent moment in the movie "American Graffiti."
You can not ever go wrong with The Platters. I have the cd and they are the 50's 🎵✌🎶💜💜💜💜
ᴛ᷈͟͟ʜ᷈͟͟ᴀ᷈͟͟ɴ᷈͟͟ᴋ᷈͟͟ꜱ᷈͟͟~͟~͟
Tony Wtilliams- sweet, smooth voice.
Great band. I agree with what others have typed. The Great Pretender is on another level.
I jumped at this tune as soon as I saw it.
An era in music that will never be the same. The orchestral beauty and the voices combine for a time that will never be repeated. With no TV, music was our world. The Platters were a great part of it.🎶🎶🎶
Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
I'm 77 and Loved the Platters! Tears when I hear these. Bob.
@roberttyran3813 I find the older music transforms you to a perfect time in life and eliminates all your problems for 3 minutes or so. Merry Christmas. 🎅🎅🎄🎄🎶🎶 71 and loving it. 👍✌️🎶🇨🇦
Now you're talking, when I was about 5 (50's) my dad (god rest his soul) used to attempt to sing this, but listening to the Platters wow, they had quite a few absolute gems, what a voice.
The Platters are amazing. I like, "My Prayer" as well....
Gives me goosebumps!! This song was also used in a movie that would be great as a review. Stars Richard Dreyfus and Holly Hunter..Always.
Love that movie!
Love it! Worked at a theater showing it back in the day and I loved watching the audiences reaction to that.
I absolutely love the Platters! If you like "silky" vocals, listen to anything by Johnny Mathis! "Chances Are" is one of his best.
I still listen to The Platters. Their music is timeless --- I remember my mom playing their records on a little portable turntable. Not the best sound but it didn't matter - their music was just so wonderful.
Classy, elegant --- Timeless.

The Platters ----- I love you 1000 times
Excellent song. anything by The Platters is pretty great. ❤
My mom use to sing this….that is how I really got to know and love this tune! I never understood the “ smoke in my eyes” part! He gets very high for the ending! You have to hear that!
Lead singer is -Tony Williams. One of the best to do it.. try - gene chandler-duke of earl
For your female Friday you REALLY need to react to Judy Collins- send in the clowns!! It is the most beautiful song I have EVER heard!! She has a perfect voice for this song!! ALL TIME classic!!
I AGREE!!! 👍😃❣️😃👍
You HAVE to watch American Graffiti!! The music is awesome and has lots of stars!! All 50’s music ❤
Tony Williams - what a great singer ! 😍
A group I liked from 50's/60's was The Browns. Jim Ed Brown started the group and was soon joined by his sister, Maxine. Their sister, Bonnie joined after graduating high school. Being siblings, their harmony was superb. My favorite by them was "The Old Lamplighter". They had many, including "Send Me The Pillow That You Dream On", "Three Bells" and a faster paced, light-hearted song called "I Was Looking Back To See (If You Were Looking Back To See).

Now you have to admit that is pure talent. Isn't it amazing how you don't have to guess what words being sung.
You just have to watch the movie “Always” with Richard Dreyfuss, Holly Hunter, and Audrey Hepburn!!!! This song is such a huge part of that movie, which is one of my best all time movie favorites!!

Yes yes yes.
This is exactly the comment I was going to post they definitely need to watch always
I was going to say the exact same thing. Love that movie!💙
Was going to say the same. Seems like Jay & Amber have a knack for picking songs that lead to movie suggestions and this song makes me think of Always every time, that movie is very much worth seeing
I love these original Platters! Tony Williams had one of the best voices ever. Been a fan since I was young (69 now). I used to know the other band members names but have forgotten them. Though, if I remember correctly, the woman is Zola Taylor and the deep voiced guy is Herb something. As for their music, pick any of their songs and you can’t go wrong.

Love the Platters🎵🎼🎶🎼🎵😎
Memories of one the best. Don't forget the Mills Brothers. Thanks
Absolutely perfect song and perfect performance. Only one other Platters song tops this one for me: My Prayer🙏
I love The Platters. Another great group from around that era is The Ink Spots. They had several hits. My favorites were If I Didn't Care, and Whispering Grass.
When I was about 7 or 8, my dad took me to see the Harlem Globetrotters... The Ink Spots were the halftime entertainment... I thought they were wonderful, but my dad actually got tears... he said they were worth the price of the tickets even if we DIDN'T get to see the game.

The Platters --- I love you 1,000 times
I am an oldie, 74, and consider myself privileged that I was brought up listening to real music like this and so many others that rules the airwaves in that time, Talent that didn't rely on electronics to get it right, just pure talent.
The Platters, and that whole generation of music for that matter is just phenomenal. Close your eyes and it transport you to somewhere beautiful.
Twilight time
My prayer
Remember when
The magic touch
...They have sooo many musical gems
Chills…absolute chills!
This is reaching back to 1933 for an Amazing tune written by the fabulous Jerome Kern, proving the most beautiful songs were written in the days of amazing unparalleled talent. "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for the 1933 musical Roberta, later the 1935 movie with Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Irene Dunn and Randolph Scott by the same name.
OMG! The dances I had with that song. It was magic!
Tony Williams unmistakable vocals and the back up have got to be one of the all time great groups . Great Pretender is their most prominent hit . please play it .
The era when talent was required to succeed.

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 "Enchanted", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch", "My Prayer", "Twilight Time", "Harbor Lights", "The Great Pretender" etc.
Tony Williams (lead) was discovered by Buck Ram (manager of the Platters, Drifters and Coasters) singing opera in a recording studio, and was subsequently put in the group at that point. He retired from the group, I believe, in 1961, because he thought his voice was no longer pure enough 🤦♂️. The Platters laid down many great original songs along with a plethora of covers of old standards, but to really hear the man whom many considered to have had the purest voice in the 50's, you really should listen to My Prayer and a lesser known song, Trees. Only then will you understand just how all consuming Tony's voice truly was.
My mother loved this song. Always think of her when I hear it. Smoke Get's In Your Eyes meaning is: When you are in love, you only see what you want to see and are blind to all things negative with the other person.
I simply ADORE this song!
This song was in the Spielberg movie "Always." You might enjoy watching that one.
One of the greatest groups ever. This is my favorite from them. They are truly trailblazers
I love how this particular Platters song has a few crescendos in it and how his voice just keeps topping itself as the song progresses.
Tony Robbins, lead singer, with his beautiful voice! The Platters were a very popular vocal group in the 1950's with many hit songs.

I absolutely adore The platters, have since I was little. There's just something magical about them. The next one you cover should be My Prayer.

Platter's music was oh so dreamy, like floating on clouds dreamy! Great choice for next Platters song - The Great Pretender!
Oh my! This is my favorite Platters song! So good!
Yes one of the best singers of all time Tony Williams one of the best groups of all time and one of the best songs of all time.

Finally! This is in my top 5 songs all time. Please do American Graffiti on the movie channel some time!
Posted my comment before i watched… Hey Amber, you want more 50’s music?? watch American Grafitti 😎
This song is on the soundtrack to “American Graffiti” which was the movie that funded George Lucas making “Star Wars”. It’s set in the early “innocent” sixties, and is packed with so much music it’s a double album. I think you’d really enjoy that one on movie night.
The platters had the most beautiful Harmony I've ever heard in a group. And this is one of my favorites to be sure. Just a suggestion for a possibility of a movie reaction because this song is featured in it, there's a movie called always with the actor Richard Dreyfuss. It's a beautiful story and I know you guys would really love it
ᴛ᷈͟͟ʜ᷈͟͟ᴀ᷈͟͟ɴ᷈͟͟ᴋ᷈͟͟ꜱ᷈͟͟~͟~͟
The name of the movie is "Always" co-starring Holly Hunter and Audrey Hepburn. Excellent movie.
He's also in American Graffiti, which also has this song in it.
Love that movie. Richard Dreyfuss & Holly Hunter did a couple movies together, but Always was a favorite. I think of that movie anytime I hear this song.
"Ebb Tide", "The Magic Touch", "The Great Pretender", "Harbor Lights", "Red Sails In the Sunset", "You'll Never Never Know", and "Twilight Time", are magical by The Platters...❤❤
They can't even write such beautiful melodies like this anymore. A great example of excellent melodic compositionand harmonic arrangement! ❤️🎵
I knew you guys would appreciate The Platters...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥
Within the music industry, Tony Williams, lead singer of The Platters, is considered one of the all-time great lead vocalists.
This was one of our favorite songs at our school dances. This song was composed in 1933 by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach for the musical "Roberta".

Love this song!
This song and unchained Melody are probably my favorite 2 songs from the 50s and 60s
I mentioned this song before, I REALLY, REALLY wish y’all would check out The Flamingo’s, “I ONLY HAVE EYES FOR YOU”. Such a sweet, smooth song.
I have loved them from an early age!! My Mom would listen to them and my Aunt had an album and would play it when I would stay with her some!!! You have got to listen to Twilight Time, My Prayer, Magic Touch among others!! I saw them in concert back in the early 70's and it was so awesome!! Couples were slow dancing in the aisles.
You both made me smile today. Y'all would love the movie "Always", this song was the key part and it's romantic with some action for Jay. Much love from Australia 🇭🇲
I love how Amber starts swaying, a smile arrives on her face, her eyes close and she's sent!
I've seen these guys at least 4 times in person in the 50's and 60's........GREAT.. ALWAYS GREAT !!!!!!!!
Great lines by one of the all-time greats, Tony Williams (lead singer) "When your heart's on fire you must realize❤🔥smoke gets in your eyes" and "When a lovely flame dies Smoke gets in your eyes" 💔
A singer named ‘Patti Austin’ covered this song in the 80’s. She did a very good job covering this song. Worth a look.
Back in '69 thru '72, the Platters played at the restaurant in work in 2 time each summer for a week each, To say the place was standing room only in a massive understatement! Worked my ass off every time they came! Still a big fan, even 50 years later.

This was one of my parents's favorite groups. Another favorite of theirs was The Mills Brothers. Their song "Till Then" was from the 40s but they re-recorded it in the 50s and I think that's the version that was one of my parents's songs. Here's a nice live performance:
"Till Then": ua-cam.com/video/Qd7wrr9JUNg/v-deo.html
Here's a singer for Female Friday, Amber. Her name is Nancy Wilson. One of my Dad's favorite songs to do a slow jitterbug to was a Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington, Johnny Mercer song from 1953 called "Satin Doll". Ella Fitzgerald, The Coasters, and so many others covered it including Nancy Wilson. Dad loved her and this was a version from the early 60s that he adored:
"Satin Doll": ua-cam.com/video/BP3sBJmN_74/v-deo.html
His note hold at the end is like the sax hit at the end of INXS "Never Tear Us Apart". It's so powerful you remember it almost above the rest of the song.
I am an old soul at heart and I really do believe I was born way too late. I have always imagined in my mind of being born around 1940 or 1941 and I would dance with my date at the prom to this song.
His voice gives you goose bumps. 🫠
Love this song. The guy has an amazing voice.
This song is featured in the movie "Always" with Richard Dreyfuss (from Stand By Me) and Holly Hunter. It's a little long but a great love story.
And as always you should look at a Lindsey Stirling video when you get the chance. I recommend "Crystalize" or "A River Flows In You"

Ah. This brings back memories of my childhood. Singers had to have true voices and real talent. No autotune or digital enhancement.
This song is such a classic! His voice s beautiful! It’s like I always say, Good music never gets old!❤❤
This was one of my mom's favorite songs! Absolutely beautiful! Please check out Yes I'm ready by Barbara Mason. (1965)

This brings beautiful memories from days gone by. I believe I was about 10 years old when this came out, I used to watch American bandstand after school. And I had teenage sisters that taught me how to dance. This was one of the songs that I learned how to slow dance, it was such a special time😊
the platters, i love you 1000 times
My Prayer is a must 🙏, from the Platters.
