    That’s the phenomenal Tony Williams singing! He was their lead singer for most of the 50s. One of my all-time favorite voices! I fell so in love with this band the first time I heard them as a kid! I couldn’t stop listening and got addicted to 50s music in general. Besides “Only You,” which you already reacted to, their other biggest hits are “My Prayer” and “The Great Pretender.” But you can’t go wrong with any Platters song from between 1953-1960, when Tony Williams was singing lead. To me this is what the word “dreamy” sounds like!!

I listen to today’s Christian music and it is so good in all genres that I don’t need to listen to today’s music. Why are you so angry? Why can’t people comment without coming across like a bully. Sure , there is probably some decent musicians out there nowadays but the ones getting the publicity are just plain nasty. The way you commented on my comment, I think you need anger management.

    • @stevetournay3731

      Yes indeed. Part of the genius of the Platters was that they often covered songs (like this one) that were old even at the time...carefully written songs in an era when songs were cranked out like sausages in a factory...and so the Platters' songs endure!

      Why bring in any comparisons at all? Things are always both good and bad depending on the context. When Rock n' Roll first came to be many said it was trash. Famous TV personalities said they will never have Elvis Presley on their shows because his moves and music were vulgar. So, it's all about perception really. Personally, I want artists to be able to freely express themselves, be it through hip-hop or country songs. I may have my personal likes and dislikes. But I will never turn my nose up at music which is not to my taste and compare between different genres of music from different eras. It's unnecessary and fruitless.

      It sounds odd for a sitcom, but at the time (mid 70's) it went down really well with UK audiences, & has become something of a classic piece of UK TV!

    Once upon a time, being a vocalist was a high plateau for someone to reach, and the public sat and listened, and appreciated the incredible gift they were hearing, the endless rehearsals, the tweaking of a song, the WORK that goes into doing this. And we bought their records.
    This...this was that time. The Platters were those musicians, and the truth is there were more than a few like them. I am gonna assume that the reason we don't hear music like this anymore is because too few people know it even exists.
    You are helping that, my friend.

    How can you listen to Tony sing and not understand what pure talent really is. I think it would spoil you when listening to anything after this era came to an end. I’m so happy to see you enjoying music fro my time. Enjoy..anything sung by Tony Williams.

    The Platters were one of the first successful African American chart toppers. This song was number 1 in both the US and UK.
    They had a lot of great hits. Only You, The Great Pretender, My Prayer, Twilight Time, Harbor Lights.

    The Platters performed at a club where I worked in 1974.I was taken aback by their vocals. Even though they were past their heyday they still sounded superb.

    One of my favourite Platter's songs is 'Harbor Lights' Nowadays, when people reminisce about this band, it's a number that is often forgotten.

    He sounds so good because he had so much talent. I danced to this song quite a bit, and I still love the song, the group. Tony Williams is on top with the best singers. What a voice! And notice how nice the group presents itself--style. I happy you love them too.

    I always feel like I am listening to poetry in song when I hear the platters. My favorite band from the 50s/60s era. Twilight time, harbor light, my prayers, enchanted are all good.

    Smoke Gets in Your Eyes is an even older song, (for a musical made in 1933), but I really love this version.
    Just a beautiful song that you really don't hear the likes of anymore.
