Lead singer Tony Williams recognized as one of the greatest vocalists ever. Listen to his range on their hit Only You. Classic.
Yes but still so underrated and unappreciated. You really want to get a good sample of his range, try “Where” and “My Prayer.”
FANTASTIC....The Platters were SUPERSTARS in the 50s.....on both white charts and black charts....it was just unheard of black artists being as popular as they were back then because white radio just refused to play black music and were just outright stealing our music.....lead singer Tony Williams is one of the greatest singers of all times.....he is a Nat King Cole type singer that could powerfully belt out songs with barely an effort.....this group has so many live performances from the 50s MUST SEE.....all you have to do is search for them on UA-cam.....you dont get any classier than this group.....great reaction
Jay! You’re fantastic! Thanks for speaking to the relevance of this group and the times. Not only did they sound smooth ... they were smoothly making Change. Thanks! ✨🤪
Stealing your music, Mr. Kemp??? The guys who wrote Smoke Gets in Your Eyes were white guys (Otto Harbach & Jerome Kern). The first recording of the song was done in 1933 by a white lady (Gertrude Nissen).
" only you " " the great pretender " " with this ring ". All good ❤️
This is a classic ...........I remember this song from the movie "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" when Larenz Tate playing Frankie Lyman is mad at Vivica Fox playing his wife and he sees his ex girlfriend Zola Taylor of The Platters played by Halle Berry on television singing this song.
The Platters are without question one of the greatest groups of all time. When you talk about underrated, this group rarely (if ever) make the all time greats list. Despite having more hits than many artists who do, are more vocally talented, and historically significant. One of the reason for that is because there were many different versions of the group. Because of internal strife, their original manager kept changing the lineup to continue recording and touring while former members would create offshoots to tour. You could quite literally run into two versions of the same group performing in the same city. It must’ve been crazy for fans. The frequent change ups earned them the branding of “The Platters: many voices, one name.” The group also suffered a blow to their reputations when the 4 male members of their most successful line up (the ones singing here) were arrested on drug and prostitution charges at the height of their popularity in the late 50’s. Radio stations stopped playing their music and they were essentially black listed for a time. Despite all their woes and changing lineup, the Tony Williams Platters from 1953-1960 should be considered among the all time greats. Check out some of their biggest and timeless hits: Only you, The great pretender, Twilight time, you’ve got the magic touch, harbor lights, and my prayer.
Only You and The Great Pretender are two you should listen to. Both are better than this one!
I'd like to add "Twilight Time" to that list. Thanks!
They were one of the Top Groups of the 1950's who bought so much Romance to folks. This was also played in American Graffiti when Steve Bolander had a Slow Dance at a Back To School Dance. Steve was on his way to College in The East and Laurie was heartbroken because she had just started out as a Senior. Another one of their Songs "Only You" was featured on The Wonder Years.
How about Mr. Lou Rawls doing "You'll Never Find", or "My Lady Love". Both so classy and melodic. Thanks!
Here are some artists and songs from the ‘60s/‘70s you should give a listen to: Mary Wells, Two Lovers, or My Guy; The Marvelettes, When the Hunter Get Captured By the Game, or Don’t Mess With Bill; Martha and the Vandellas, Dancing In The Streets, or Jimmy Mack, just to name a few.
For those saying that the Platters were a huge group in the 60s. You are right. I was a school girl living in a small town on the West Coast of B.C. Canada. Near Alaska.We could only hear the radio stations in Vancouver and Seattle at night, yet there was a thriving record store in town that mostly sold 45s. I could sing along with several of the Platters hits. (Still can!)
That's how huge they were.
I was in High School when these songs came out. Nothing like it today. The Prom and dancing close with the ladies.
Wow Nichelle taking it way back back into time an oldie but a goodie 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🎵🎵🎵
😅😂🤣 In the infamous words of Shaggy…”It wasn’t me!” 😁 I know I’ve been requesting a lot lately but this one was submitted by the lovely @Michele Michele❣️💯🎼🎶☑️ Anytime I request something, our beloved host rightly mentions my whole name Nichell Taylor, as to not get us mixed up.☺️
@@SopranoSistah People are poised and ready to give us both Love! Great family of subscribers with lots to f love to spread around. Thanks, Chell Chell. ✨🤪
Hey Wake Hey! Yes, this is a for real oldie but goodie. Wasn’t sure if it would work, but JJ did a great job. These performers pushed the envelope and sounded smooth doing so. And seeing you and Nichell and MM and others in the comments warms me. ❤️🔥 ✨🤪
@@michelemichele3375 ❣️❣️❣️
They are from the days of crooners, ballroom dancing tunes just before Doo Woop became a thing.
Good point. I can hear the beginnings of Doo Wop (just barely) but smooth as silk. Thanks, Zina. Great reaction! ✨🤪
Just want to add that The Platters were the top selling black group of the 50s.....the other group is The Flamingos....you already reacted to The Flamingos "I Only I Have Eyes For You"..... but if you want to hear some of the most enchanting and tight harmonizing then you have to react to more Flamingos music
yes have to give props to The Flamingoes, and the Harptones, but the Flamingoes had such a unique sound, the harmonizing was somewhat mystical and unmatched. The obvious song and biggest was I Only Have Eyes For You, but also other great ones “Lovers Never Say Goodbye,” Mio Amore,” “Love Walked In,” “You Me And the Sea,” and so many more.
An AMAZING classic!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾This was music my elders came up with and exposed to us youngins! Love the harmonies and feel.🎼🎶☑️☑️☑️
@@Midnight65883 Hi there my friend☺️…. I would love to take the credit for this request but I’m pretty sure this one was from the one and only @Michele Michele. 🎼🎶☑️ Whenever it’s me, our dear channel host always says my full name Nichell Taylor to differentiate.😛😉
@@Midnight65883 and Nichell: Good to see you both in the comments. I wasn’t sure how this vintage piece would go over, but you’ve always got my back. JJ did a great reaction too. Soaring vocals and barrier-breaking! Thanks. ✨🤪
@@michelemichele3375 This song went over beautifully, Lady. 💯🎼🎶
@@Midnight65883 I’m honored by the “mistake” and yeah I’ve been on a spree lately….enjoying every bit of it. This channel and you guys with your music picks make my days even brighter.
@@SopranoSistah Oh Oh Oh! For once I’m speechless. (I just clicked on your photo, Chell. Beautiful voice). Wow. 😳 💓
Yes I’m sorry smoke rings by the Mills Brothers
Great reaction there’s a gray one called smoke rings I think it’s by the ink spots smoke wings is a great one to listen to
Greatness Smoke gets in your eyes🥺
Thanks for this, not many reactors pay attention to The Platters. Tony Williams was a world class vocalist and kept this band at the top of the list.
You should do Elvis, in black and white tv, on the Ed Sullivan show back in 1956 doing "Love Me". He was so young and fresh then and really exuded starpower.
Try "The Great Pretender".
Tony Williams - lead singer of the Platters - we could always understand every word, such a "beautiful voice," RIP Tony Willians
Your dipping back now into the 50’s when the Platters where the king of groups with probably the greatest lead singer. They had so many great songs and big hits, most people will request “only you,” “Twilight Time,” The Great Pretender,” big they go deeper with songs like “The harbor Lights,” and “Where,” and many others.
I think in the beginning 'smoke gets in your eyes' means love is blind, but later in the song it's about how smoke in your eyes makes you cry.
OG old school classic. Has that same feel as Nat King Cole ballads with the full orchestra.
50s group
The woman in the group was once married to Frankie Lymon from Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.
1950s.
This is my Grandmother’s favorite group she absolutely loves The Platters when I hear them I think of her you should also check out It Isn’t Right by The Platters that’s my favorite song by them I love that sound now that was music the harmonizing is beautiful you’ll love it!!!
50s platters great big group had many hits 50s and early 60s
Uptown R&B. Where do you think Motown came from?
Just Jammin' -- this song and most Platters songs are from the *1950s* .
The Platters ARE NOT a slow jam.
One of the true “heartthrob” songs of the 50s era! PWG
I saw them perform at a nightclub I worked at in 1974.I was in my late teens and I had to ask my parents about them.My mom thought that I was lucky to have seen one of her favourite groups.🎶🌴
Wow! ‘74?!! Didn’t know they were still playing into the ‘70s. Is there anyone you haven’t seen live?!! Lol. That’s amazing! Thanks, RJR! ✨🤪
