Description:

The Platters were the most successful vocal group of the 1950s, with a dozen gold singles and a trio of million-selling albums in their rsum. Blessed with lead singer Tony Williams` warm, rich tenor, and a manager, Buck Ram, who was also a skilled arranger and songwriter, the Platters toned down their R&B and gospel roots to fit pop radio, and their biggest hits ("Only You," "The Great Pretender") have become acknowledged classics. Their cover of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," originally recorded by Paul Whiteman in 1933, has become the definitive version of this beautiful song. All of these tracks are here in their original versions, making this a nice single-disc introduction to this important group. ~ Steve Leggett
