I'm an old white woman and grew up listening to all the black singers from the 50's 60's... I have a 78 vinyl collection of over 50 albums. Makes my heart jump to see young folks finally hearing these irreplaceable groups of that time period.
Amen sister!!
Sooo right!! Noone sings like this anymore! And i so wish i had your record collection! VINTAGE!! 💜
You are not alone, ma'am. Same here.
There was never a difference whether a group was black or white, at least in my house. Born in “57,” next to Asbury Park, so I saw lots of artists at the Paramount and Convention Hall. I watched Where the Action Is, on television, along with, American Bandstand and Soul Train, and my parents encouraged it. We watched Ed Sullivan, and saw all the latest acts, of every color. My Dad was a Cop and he was at the Asbury Park riots, and came home telling me that when people are ignored for hundreds of years, riots can happen. He and my Mom had black friends throughout their lives, and even had a black friend that was a club owner, and so the often went to their club. What the hell has happened to us? It is just so sad.
@@ruthfiedler9686 we're letting other people tell us what to think of each other and how treat each other.
Straight talent, no auto tuned needed.TALENT
Didn't even have auto tune then. Raw, God given talent. You definitely had to know how to sing.
This is not a human voice !!!!
It was a recording of the studio version
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and The Great Pretender are two of their biggest songs
Oh man! I LOVE Smoke Gets in Your Eyes!!
I still have their album
And for good reason... They are absolutely masterpieces. 👌🏽👌🏽
Yes, I would add: ♥ Twilight Time ♥, My Player and Only You ... I am Brazilian and I always remembered those songs when I was hitchhiking in the night in places with dirt roads, fields, woods ... I imagined the their songs being sung in some distant wooden house with only one lamp on that night of total darkness ... because it is as nostalgic, soft and beautiful as a cool night in the open country
Always. The movie I mean.
Platters were the cream of the crop of vocalist groups.Tony Williams was amazing.
Another Platters classic is Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.
That one is a MUST.
YESSSSS
Absolutely!!
Love that one!!
Finally a younger person that appreciates their history, He almost broke down talking about our treatment, lol he think any harder he gonna be reacting to the blues,
The Platters were a super group and a class act for all time. A beautiful love song and Tony Williams, with the voice of an angel! Pure heaven!!!
The Platters....Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.....his voice is one for the ages.
A fantastic choice! This is a clip from a movie. The guy who introduced them is Alan Freed, a famous radio disc jockey who promoted rock & roll & R&B in the 1950s. The white middle aged audience is there to tell folks that this music is non-threatening.
Alan Freed the Blacks, I guess.
So many more. Just search Motown and you can’t go wrong.
Loved the Stylistics and Delphonics too.
Absolutely!
Back when they had style, class and talent.
@@waltreed2578 so did the BeeGees!
Beginning to realize why most of us "old" folks haven''t heard anything in last 40 years that we really want to listen to
Another good one is I Only Have Eyes For You By The Flamingos
My favorite of all time. I was born in 1953 and remember this like it was yesterday
The lead singer is Mr. Tony Williams - the Man with the golden voice ! ! !
Smokey Robinson. Tracks of my tears. Keep going ! Love reaction and Motown
Man I love old R&B/Motown music. I suggest you check out the Four Tops, The Miracles. Or Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Ruffin. Too many great voices to pick a favorite.
Smokey Robertson, Little Anthony and the Imperials
My mom absolutely loves the Platters. I appreciate them and like their music. The helped pave the way for other talent down the road.
Still love to slow dance to this after 36 years of marriage! The power of natural talent is palpable 💘💘💘😽
Yes that's what we old folks need. The O'Jays live from daryls house love train next please.
The Platters were awesome. Perfect diction, great voices, and upright elegance.
Nat King Cole -"unforgettable", enough said.
Great reaction btw👍
You want to hear SINGERS, VOCALISTS this is the era!
This was the late 50's early 60's
Even earlier late 30's and the 40's. You HAD to have talent, there was nothing to cover up what you lacked.
I absolutely adore the Platters!
"Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" is just beautiful!
Oh yes. I'd love to see Twon do the Carpenters recording of the 1938 big band ballad standard "I Can Dream, Can't I" from 1975, for example. For a guy who's all of 21, that would be a double timewarp, because 1975 is 46 years ago and then the song was 37 years older than that...BTW the Platters often recorded songs from that era as well, beautifully, carefully written songs that stand the test of time...
These singers, and many from Motown, are what helped start the Civil Rights movement. It goes to show how much influence music has on everyone.
This is what's missing in music now...pure talent and romance. Love your reaction.
Crazy good group! I grew up in the best music time of all time, Black, White didn’t matter...loved the 60’s and 70’s.
This song has been popping up everywhere now, it's in games, movies, and series. An amazing song
Sam Cooke You Send Me is great. He had many hits and left his mark. He died young.
This is why I listen to 50's 60's on Sirius while driving. Sorry, but I can't get into today's music. Check out Little Anthony and the Imperials and The Shirelles.
Most establishments had separate bathrooms for clientele and the kitchen staff (who were mostly people of color). Black artists that performed in these places were treated very poorly. The Platters came around just prior to the Civil Rights movement. A fabulously talented group who's popularity transcended race; which was a huge statement at that time about their talent.
They were treated poorly in the South, the only segregated facilities were down South, I have no doubt that Platters were paid well for this performance, they were all over radio and TV. The black community was better off then in many ways, today is much worse, black families are atomized today.
@@davisworth5114 just seeing this. There was plenty of segregation up North. Growing up in New York I remember my Black friends were not allowed in the community swimming pools and were barred from buying their own homes. These “ covenants” were artfully buried - so not as obvious.and those are only two examples. Read about what happened in Boston when busing was instituted. Mob riots and destruction by white people against Black folks just trying to go to school.
You only hold a people back when you are scared of their potential and you are insecure.
@@TheDivayenta I grew up in Seattle and spent a lot of time around people of all races at ball games, riding trains, and playing sports when I was a kid. There were no segregated facilities. I never saw a single racial incident back in the day, and I never saw or heard any racist acts when I was in Army training down South and in Vietnam. You don't have to lecture me, I saw Satchel Paige pitch when I was a kid and I've been a blues player for fifty years and a student of black music and history. Keep it about the music, black musicians were the main reason the races started coming together in America. We know blacks are the best musicians, that's why we copy them, that's where rock and roll came from, white guys trying to play and sound black. Didn't you know that?
That's the History some folks dont know about or the extent of limitation black artist and groups endured. Thumbs up Malcolm!
This was before my time but heard it on an oldies station on the radio. Makes one swoon! 😻 Magic! Pure and simple! You 💓
I am 45 and that song was there all my life somewhere; radio, tv, movies... A Classic
I'm so glad you did this one . I love the Platters so much. Much respect!
This music is before my time but I grew up on it because of my parents. I've always thought this to be one of the most beautiful songs in the world. 💗 Your reaction at 3:20 was perfect. It's my favourite part.
So refreshing to see a cool young brother appreciate music my mom grew up loving. Thank you Twon! My mom is looking down and smiling because of you. RIP Momma!
I've got 72 Summers on the books and I grew up with this music back in the day we listen to these song mostly on transistor radios the music wasn't black or white it was either good or wasn't good and the platters were one of the the best. You looking back almost 60 years in history the country has progressed from then
I ❤ playing these reactions for my mom, who just turned 76, because I know it will bring back wonderful memories and great stories.
This comes from the 1956 movie "Rock Around The Clock", the man introducing The Platters here is legendary disc jockey, and radio personality Alan Freed, who made several movies like this. Alan Freed is considered a very important person as far as integration,and breaking down racial barriers in music He was one of the first people to have black and white rhythm and blues ,and rock and roll musicians both on the same concert stage, and play them on his radio shows, although concert promoters like John Hammond, another legenary figure you should know, were doing this with jazz musicians in the 1930s.
The Platters are a group who were very popular in their time, and sold millions of records all over the world, in their time, but are largely forgotten by younger audiences. Check out the second Platters group from the late 60s. A more soulful group, with only two original members. Recommeded song "With This Ring".
NO AUTOTUNE!! Just RAW TALENT!! The guys voice is AMAZING!! 👏
YOUNG BLOOD I'M 64 YRS OLD AND THIS WAS MY MOMS MUSIC. IT'S SAD THAT SO MANY YOUNG FOLKS TODAY THINK THAT WHATS MADE TODAY IS ALL THERE IS TO MUSIC. WHEN WE WERE TEENS IN THE 70'S WE KNEW OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS MUSIC. IT'S WHERE WE COME FROM, OUR MUSIC, OUR FOOD.
A pure Classic!!!! Awesome reaction!
Please check out The Great Pretender. My favorite song by the Platters.
Motown had a succession of brilliant acts on their label back in the day, in fact you could do just Motown reactions and never think of stopping. Great singers, great bands, great.
One of my favorite song of all time by them.. 🤩
One of the best vocal groups of all time. Tony Williams voice is unmatched by no one. I have their 1st album It's simply called the Platters and it is very rare
I can’t believe I still remember every single word of this song! I love them! 💕
I love that you’re going back and discovering all this music. My father swore by 3 artists...The Platters, The Bee Gees and Sam Cooke. I highly recommend Sam Cooke if you haven’t reacted to him yet. ‘Bring it on home to me’, ‘A change is gonna come’ and ‘Wonderful World’ are 3 of my favorites. His voice will send you. Promise.
THIS is real singing.....Tony and Ray Charles and Stevie are just out of this world talent.
I have chills ,so beautiful,so talented ,we need more music like this ,so good for the soul !
Thank you if you show more music. Like this you will make all of us grandmas happy--
.I always feel bad for you
. kids today
Twon, great reaction to A Classic Group that will last forever. They had so many great songs you can react to. Just to put a little perspective on the environment you noticed, these guys were playing to our parents in this video but to the kids at that time like myself they were changing the way we saw things because they were so cool. We appreciated their talent and they actually were game changers back in the late 50's. They will always be class and classic. I can see that you see it too. Love ya for that my man.
All great songs with beautiful lyrics and background music. No nasty words just sweet talk every lady wants to hear.
Tony Williams the most underrated vocalist in music history
From an old white guy living in a rural area, I completely agree with you that you need to do more reactions to black artists from the 50's - 80's. There must be 500 famous black artists with 1000 famous songs in 3 or 4 diff genre's of music during those 4 decades. Both black and white music was just incredible for those 4 decades.
I am glad that these young reactors are discovering the roots of music. Forget whether it is black or white music. Music has no color it is a kaleidoscope.
I'm 67 years young and I'm loving all your reaction videos. I've listened to this music from my teens and still do now. I have original albums of all these singers 60+ albums and play them regularly, this was the era of live music no auto tune when they were on stage they had to bring it on and they did. You have an old soul and a beautiful smile keep on listening.
One of my favorite songs of all times. Such harmony and talent.
When your heart is in music or any kind of performance Nothing will stop you. Not even racism. This group was always amazing. I still have their original albums.
I've always loved this man's world class voice!
Kathy here - I am a 68-year-old white woman, not that color matters, but this is the music my parents listened to, danced to, had parties in the house and took the furniture out to the garage and open up the living room for friends to dance. My dad would put on this album, let me stand on his feet and slow dance, before me and my sister had to go to bed. What memories this brings back. So glad to see the younger generation discover music from the "old" days! Yes, their harmonies were great, and they were one of the most popular bands in their day. The were actually considered to be a "rock n roll band" back then. LOL Thanks for your reaction and loved YOU actually reacting to it also. You need to check out Smoke Gets in your eyes, it's amazing.
Omg. I love your reactions to these oldies. You are so adorable Twon. It’s in your soul. More ! ❤️🔥
Whenever someone reacts to The Righteous Brothers I often like to ask them to react to The Platters and Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. This group was brilliant and had to go through some terrible crap, fighting colour barriers that none of us can imagine. I have to admit that it saddens me to say I know more white folks who recognize the platters than black folks. These guys blazed a trail for you to be reacting to music and there are many more groups like them who deserve to be recognized. If you ask, I'm sure that your fans of all colours will point you in the direction of forgotten groups like this that will blow your mind.
And please ... react to Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.
"Twilight Time" and "My Prayer" are two of my favorites.
I was a teenager in the age of rock and roll. We danced to and cheered both black and white singers and groups. Bought their records. We didn’t care what color they were.
Absolutely beautiful! I love your appreciation of true vocal talent in all genres and all decades that you have done. Love ballads and harmonies are not that common anymore.
I've heard this song but have never seen them live, and to that end, I never knew they had a female as part of the vocalists.
The quality of the vocals are amazing, Jackie Wilson to be loved is another amazing vocal masterclass
They were so awesome. Such beautiful, clear voices. My dad loved their music. Thanks for playing them
I love how you appreciate the talent of what you react to - a great voice, rhythm, instruments...your smile says it all when it gives you "the feels". Love your channel!
That’s beautiful music right there. My mother had this record when she was in school.
One of the purest voices ever.💗
Enjoyed your reaction so much.
One of the all time greats! This group was one of my Dad's favorites ❤. He was a teenager during this time period. He got to see all the early greats of rock at the Uptown Theater in Philly. I've heard the Platters my whole life. Zola Taylor was married Frankie Lymon from Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers. He took all her money since he got addicted to herion. And was married to multiple women at the same time. The guy who introduced them in this clip was the DJ Alan Freed who they say coined the term Rock n Roll. This is from the movie Rock Around the Clock from 1956. You take care and stay safe 😷
Their harmony is so perfect.
Timeless, awe inspiring, simply beautiful, that talent is just phenomenal!
Classic stuff! 1955! "Only You" sat atop the U.S. R & B charts for seven weeks, rose to #5 in the overall charts and stayed there for 30 weeks (i.e. 7 months). The Platters biggest hit, however, was "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes", which went all the way to the top of the charts in 1958. They also scored hits with "The Great Pretender", "Twilight Time", and "If I Didn't Care". If you like this style of music and want to hear more like it, you must check out The Flamingos "I Only Have Eyes For You", Johnny Mathis "Chances Are" and "Misty", and Nat King Cole "Mona Lisa", "Unforgettable", and "Autumn Leaves" among many others. Also check out The Five Satins "In The Still Of The Night", The Skyliners "Since I Dont Have You", The Penguins "Earth Angel", The Dells "Oh What A Night", and The Crests "Sixteen Candles" among other similar songs from the 50's.
I think it"s great you got turned on to the platters!!! Check out Jackie Wilson, Sam Cook, theres so much great black talent you are missing out on!!!
Sam Cooke is my favorite male voice period! Melts my heart every time.
That was my grandparents song. I love that they are getting more recognition . They deserved every bit. One of the greatest voices god ever sent to earth as a gift for us to listen to. And I see you young people react and enjoy this music is truly amazing. Great job.
Old groups of the 50s 60 s were fantastic singers you could listen to this all day never ever getting tired of this sound. Beautiful people and entertainers!❤️❤️❤️
One of the greatest groups of the 50"s. Tony Williams was "Wow". Try "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes".
Try Patti Austin, seriously underrated, Angie bofill , Phyllis Hyman just to name a couple. And of course Sam Cooke if you haven’t already
From France
There were so many talented artists
You can't imagine.
This is just the beginning.
Nice journey ✈️✈️✈️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
that high falsetto that sounds so difficult requires a lot of breath control and support to get that full body sound.
Great reaction.Love The Platters,beautiful voices.
When i was a teenager the Platters were my favorites. I would stay in my room fo hours listening to their beautiful music. Im so happy to see young people are discovering the great oldies but goodies. Enjoy❤❤❤❤
Tony Williams, what a friggin voice...lots of falsetto
Got to check out the great pretender,it really shows off Tony Williams voice.(lead vocals) 🇨🇦😷
I watch this video all the time. Your reaction makes me laugh every time. The songs reaches down and grabs your soul. WOW!!!
Twon... your words broke my heart at the end I feel about that the way that you do. No one should ever be treated like that its to the heart and strength that black people had to endure such things and sadly some still do. :( As for the Platters I love them always have always will. I came in at the end of the baby boomers era so I grew up listening to my Mom and Dad play the music of the 40s and 50s and I loved it from the moment I heard all these songs and believe me it feels really good when I see this generation hearing such beautiful music it can never be replaced or repeated either. God Bless you hon and thank you for doing these videos it means more then you know. Peace.
Another one from my youth that was so romantic to dance to. Happy to see your reactions.
The lead singer is the late Tony Williams. The lady in the group use to be married to Frankie Lymann from the young group ....Frankie Lymann and the Teenagers.
Now this is music ... loved The Platters back in the day! Slow dancing to their great tunes was the best !
Loved your great reaction‼️🔥. Your smile when you hear something you really like brings the 🌝🌞😊. I danced to the Platters in high school🎶
Another couple of Platters numbers are With This Ring and Washed Ashore.
My mom and dad LOVED this group. Undeniable talent.!!!
You really are great !……… you REALLY feel the Music... I was a little kid when these guys were performing and I still remember how great they were...The Best Doo Wop Group EVER !!!……… and I’m a Classical Pianist with a Masters Degree from Juilliard.....I just Subscribed to Your Channel !……… you have to listen to Harry Nilsson. “ Can’t Live Without You “.... you will flip !
Groups back in the day was real. Love them and it was there true beautiful voices. Your so dang cute, I love your reactions❤
Being 72, songs like this one and great groups like The Platters are a significant part of my childhood. Thank-You.
Sloooow dancing music. The best ever.
1955. The beginning of rock and roll. One of the great groups. So many hits.
Vile times!!
I have lissen to The Platters since i was very young,my mom idol and we played smokes get in your eyes on her funeral
So beautiful music 😍
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪
I grew up listening to this kind of music and I still enjoy it.
Tony Williams voice😍😍😍😍
The incomparable Platters..their sound was amazing.
Yes, black performers came in through the back door, could not use any facilities, and though they were loved, it was as entertainment, not necessarily as human beings. Just remember, we're talking about clubs not in the deep south, but in Hollywood, New York, Chicago, and every other big city. This movie wasn't shot in Podunk, Georgia or Bug Tussle, Mississippi. Thank goodness this all changed when I was young. It was tough times, but hard times make strong men and women and strong men and women make good times. Unfortunately, good times make weak men and women, and weak men and women again make hard times. Be strong, young man. Don't go down the rabbit hole of resenting the past. The past is what made the future you're now living. Keep making it better.
