No overdub, no computers, no tape loops, just plain talent. Tony Williams...one of the greatest voices EVER. RIP.
It is so refreshing to see these young men open to exploring real music. No technology, just plain GOD given talent. Your a doll young man.
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 "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", "The Great Pretender", "Enchanted", "(You've Got) The Magic Touch", "My Prayer", "Twilight Time", "Harbor Lights" etc.
Hey, Dagmar! "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" is my personal favorite & both of these were among the 45s my dad gave me in 1970 for my 6th birthday.
no one makes this type of music anymore because of a lack of good songwriting, good instrumental and any good singers who can execute at such a high level.
The harmony The Platters had was off the hook. Beautiful song sung by beautiful voices.
We had some fantastic music back then! It was called Doo-Wop music....romantic style.
Next from them- Smoke Gets in Your Eyes or Twilight Time….. no computer help with voice- pure talent
One of my favorite groups. I'm 81. Motown. Listen to the Mills Brothers. One can actually understand the words.
I fell in love with the Mills Brothers watching them on the Ed Sullivan Show when I was a little girl. What great harmonies. There are quite a few video clips of them on UA-cam if you haven't seen them.
One of the best voices-smooth and powerful.
back when performers could sing more than three notes
yes the cars, the styles, and the music of the 50's......were all joined together.
You're right about the cars - this is the 1950s! This was 20 years before disco - it was pop!
72 here & this songhas been a favorite for me. Seems they've been around my whole life🥰
It was called Doowop music.
I grew up with this music, imagine being at a school dance holding your girl in your arms as you dance to this - - - if you were there you are smiling reading this
The Platters were an outstanding singing group. They were popular with Black and White people. Those were the days that you listen to the music and not the color of the singers. OUTSTANDING
Not wholly true. In these movies, when they were played in the south, the black singers' performances were cut out so they weren't seen down there. Also, if black players played in white clubs they had to enter through the back door. Or as is the case with Sammy Davis Jr., he couldn't perform at all at the Copacabana in NYC. Whites liked black music, but we didn't bond around it. There was no integration of the performers in that milieu.
It's not disco. Disco came around about 25 years later. At that time there was the REAL Rock and Roll, Doo Wop, R & B (Rhythm and Blues), Pop (Popular). The latter is the genre of the music of The Platters. Tony Williams had such a great voice. Dancing with that special person to this song was so enjoyable. You can be sure she'd come in REAL CLOSE. 🥰
I remember listening to this great song on the radio when I was young. It is just as lovely to listen to no as it was then. Love the Platters!
I've loved this song forever---and I loved your reaction, too.
This is like a massage for the soul
I grew up in the 50s, and my parents, like most parents of any generation, did not like my music, except for the Platters. They loved them because they sang all of the Ink Spots songs, and the Ink Spots were my parents’ favorite vocal group. They also thought that their voices were beautiful!
Oh my goodness…. My sisters learned to dance to this in the living room.. Daddy wouldn’t let us…. Mama did❤️❤️❤️. Thank you for sharing… blessings from Louisiana 🙋♀️🙋♀️
Im in my 30s but I love the old songs . So much better than today's. Love the Platters. They were the top groups of the mid to late 50s. Only You is a gem . My favorite by them . Sadly they have all passed, but they left us with such great music. The legendary Tony Williams on lead vocals. It don't get any better.
You young fellas have so much real music to delve into, it's good to see your appreciation for their natural raw talent!
When I was 14, I saw them in person. Sheer talent. Tony Williams amazing singer. Then became the Doo Wop music time. The singing of my day. Great stuff.
I love the smile you have listening to this beautiful song.❤
Music I grew up with. The Platters are just indescribably good.
So many nights listening to the Platters on the hi-fi. Gave me chills hearing it now.
When I was on holiday in Tenerife, I had the great honor of listening to the last 2 remaining Platters sing, it was beautiful, I was born in 1959. 🙏🙏💙💙🤗🤗
Ahh...the one and only Tony Williams. Just the most beautiful voice I've ever heard❤
I danced to all the Platter’s beautiful music as a teenager.
Best part of reaction clips is the BIG smiles of reactors hearing real music.😁😁
I remember growing up in this era, riding around dating while listening to such great, once in a lifetime, music. Such class and quality of music and vocals. I loved this group and other similar groups that marked a time in history and the history of music. This quality of music, artists, dress, and appearance was not uncommon in the day, even sharing the musical stage with rock and roll bands. Today it seems exceptional, and it is. It was and still is greatly appreciated music. One of the reasons so much Angelina Jordan's earlier music strikes a chord. Thanks for reacting to these classics.
no auto-tune. no synthesizers, pure talent
Have you ever made copies of an original, and each time you make a copy of a copy of a copy, the picture gets more faded and bland, that is what I see of today, cars, music, movies, architecture, just copies of greatness... Listening to The Patters is such a breath of fresh air, such talent, pure emotion, the harmonizing, the range it's breathtaking. There is no reason we can't have this today, if only we had studios who wanted it, instead of the empty generic garbage we are given.
Thank you … loved The Platters!! I watched my Mother and Daddy dance to this a lot! Memories! 😘
They were awesome.
I have some of their original
45 RPMs including this one.
Thanks for sharing.
When disco came out, me and all my buddies started listening to the fifties music. I'm 65 and still go back and listen to this beautiful music to bring back the memories.
This group was a cut above the rest.So smooth,so polished. I grew up listening to Mom's Platters albums as a child.Great music.😎👍👍
The third person to sit down at that table was Alan Freed (a very famous and influential disc jockey at that time).
Velvet can only dream of being this smooth.
I grew up with this music, my mother played these 50 and 60 greats all of the time.
From when I was a little girl, Baby Boomer generation, raised by what is referred to as The Greatest Generation from WW2. I was blessed to grow up on this type music as well as my parents music from the 30's and 40's. Baby Boomers had some really wonderful music in the early 60's as well. This is what they called 'Do Wop'. Very popular in the 50's and 60's Just look at the Class in these Gentlemen, and that Lovely lady, her dress, her hair that smile!! My goodness! I've seen other reactors ask over and over saying, "What happened to music. Why don't we have this now?" Exactly! Groups like these were nothing short of The Best! No auto tune, repasting, computer generated to make someone 'sound like' they had talent. These artists worked at their crafts and talents and put effort into the amazing gift God gave them! What happened, was Woodstock, Vietnam and a breakdown of music that consisted of Simply....Love! The late 60's shifted and in my opinion took a hard turn to the wrong road. So glad we still can hear and see these amazing Talented groups. . What a wonderful young man you are. You have so much do discover of the Enormous Talent of the black artists, and yes they were Artists! What a heritage you have! You also have such an exciting destiny God designed Just for You! He has given You gifts and talents only You have. Go for it!
Music for me as a young teenager. Magic! I'm eighty one and although I love what the current generation of artists is doing, The Platters laid the foundation stones for acapella bands like Boyz to men and so one.
The Platters' songs are classics. I seriously could listen to them all day. Other favourites I think you'd enjoy are the iconic "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" (1959), "Remember When" (1959) and "Red Sails in the Sunset" (1960).
No auto-tune, no studio processing, backing-tracks, etc. - just pure, unadulterated talent. It breaks my heart that some modern over-processed lip-synching Barbie doll will earn more.
(green heart) This is a song that was played at dances and yes, it was a "slow dance". the boys would ask a girl to dance on this one if he liked her!
Dang I miss those days, junior high sock hops! Peace from Northern Michigan!
Such sweet voices !
The Platters were amazing!
Beautiful music!
Singers from the 1950's are the best.
Thank you so much for the great reaction. So glad this was our music back in the day. Yeah, I am that old. Lol
My parents loved the Platters. Such romantic music my dad and mom listened too and danced as well. What a magical time it was. ❤️💕
This is called a ballad... And they were ballads from the 1950s...
First time I heard this was 1959 still as good today, I'm 75.😂
I was introduced to them by my older brother at 16 yo. He was older and loved to go club in Dancing. He was killied in a car crash
At just 28yo. I am 68 now and love them still SOU!
This song can be heard in many a movie soundtrack .
I'm so horrified and heartbroken that there are entire generations that never heard this music and only know rap or hip hop, which have only a remote connection to music if any. Don't you know this is real music and this is your real musical heritage? Glad you found it. And the genre is called doo-wop, by the way.
One of the best love songs ever.
I would call it rhythm and blues. I was born in 1950 so I had the privilege of growing up with this music
100% god given talent! Miss this type of music.
The most beautiful voice in pop history.
Tony Williams is the name of the lead singer on this and other Platters songs. It is such a terrible shame that such an incredibly talented man, with such a beautiful gift of a voice, was an alcoholic, and that destroyed his career. My favorite song with Tony singing lead is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. If I could ever sing, I wish I could sing like him in that song.
This was at least 15 years before the beginning of the Disco Era. Although there are Disco ballads like Reunited by Peaches And Herb, most disco is high energy dance music like Night Fever by the Bee Gees😊
Music used to put you in a good mood and made you feel happy in the past! Don`t understand what`s happened to it now!
They were amazing 🤩
Dang , took me back to a slow dance at the prom.
One of my favorite groups
When ladies were ladies and men were gentlemen❤
I so appreciate your facial expressions, fits my feelings exactly, food for the soul.
My favorite song ever!
love me some Platters
I second Twilight Time and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. Smoke has been popular hits for artists since the1930s, The Platter's performance is hands down the best!
Their other great hit is "Smoke gets in your eyes"… Magnificent
This is not a stage performance, but rather, an excerpt from the 1956 film, "Rock Around the Clock." The Platters also perform 'The Great Pretender' in the film. The Platters are marvelous.
Absolute talent!
💚💚💚 Doo Wop music. I was born in 1962, so I was sort of raised on this, along with country music. The vocals, harmonies and music just don't get any better than this. Today's music doesn't even cut it.
Enjoy seeing young people digging the music I grew up with. it was a much better time, Vietnam ended that. Deep dive on the Platters, then, The Ink Spots, "The Gypsy", We Three", "If I Didn't Care" etc must hear!
Generally, this might be called Crooner music from the era of Frank Sinatra. Long before rock n roll, large concerts, MTV, etc.
This kind of reaction gives me hope that Gen Z can start to repair the world.
I grew up with this type of music, and they did this for a movie. Then you couldn't help singing along, even if you really couldn't sing. Notice there was one microphone between them, sometimes these performances were incorporated in movies to increase their exposure because they were not played on radio in the USA.
Love the Platters. 💙
Tony Williams the lead singer
My Mum loved the Platters. I grew up listening to them. She liked The Ink spots too. Same era.
My first concert as a child was a bunch of groups from this era of music. Little Anthony and the imperials were one of my favs. Might be fun to check into them.
Loved watching you watching them!
The music is from 1940s to 1960s when people valued their lives
Thats not disco music . The lead singer is Tony Williams
I love that you’re doing these classic songs. Love it!
Absolutely Awesome these were.from my tender years , shear perfection ❤️❤️❤️
This is not Gen x but we know it because it was our parent's music. Enjoyed the watch!
My mom was 16 years old when Rock& Roll debuted in 1955. What an exciting time to be alive! 😎👍
That wasn’t a clip from a movie. That was broadcast live on black and white tv. They were popular during the 50’s and 60!s. During the 60’s they would perform in front of thousands.
That is not live. They are lip synching to the studio recording. This is almost assuredly from a movie, thus, the focus on the couple at the table.
It's an excerpt from the 1955 film "Rock around the Clock".
@@kevinhayden4605 It’s possible there was some lip syncing. There were variety shows that had:stage sets for scenes for rock groups: I used to watch them .
i'm 77 and i definatley grew up with the best music 50s 60s and 70s one of my favourite songs
Old Person here, . . .
I think I should explain "the video".
It was a common practice to feature popular musicians in movies and TV shows. It gave the performers exposure and drew their fans to the TV show. So, if you are wondering why the camera shifted to those two random people that walked in, they were likely the stars of the film.
Alan Freed was the dark-haired gent who joined the couple at the table. He was the most important DJ of the early rock 'n' roll era. He created travelling shows of the hottest singers and groups, and made rock 'n' roll a national pastime.
I thought initially you didn't like it, then your face changed and I could see you loved it.
They used to do a dance to this tempo. It was called the stroll.
Love The Platters
the genre is 1950s and early 60s R&B Vocal Group music, also called Doo-Wop
Love The Platters ❤ Great reaction!
¡Saludos, desde Argentina!
You need to do the grest pretender and smoke gets in your eyed. There is also twilight time
Look at the people, how things looked back then, how they dressed, can you try to imagine how life was then?
Another song of theirs that is worth checking out & was a huge hit for them is, Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. 😊
There were no music videos. Movies often had scenes with people attending nightclubs featuring uncut performances.
I grew up listening to these guys and they are still my favorite. Try "Harhor lights" my favorite.
