Relive the Golden Sounds of The Platters live in Manila, with the special participation of JV Decena, Lilibeth Garcia and Joaquin happening at the Kia Theatre on February 16, 2018 8:00 PM.
The great pretender, smoke gets in your eyes, only you (and you alone), my prayer, unchained melody, twilight time, you’ll never never know.. These were only among the hit singles which topped both the American and British charts in a Platters-style arrangement.
The Platters, American vocal group formed in 1952, were one of the most successful vocal groups of the early rock and roll era. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the pre-rock Tin Pan Alley tradition and the burgeoning new genre.
The act went through several personnel changes, with the most successful incarnation comprising lead tenor Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor.
The group had 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1955 and 1967, including four number-one hits.
The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in its inaugural year of 1998.
The Platters were the first rock and roll group to have a Top Ten album in America and were one of the first African-American groups to be accepted as a major chart group and were, for a period of time, the most successful vocal group in the world.
