This hit by The Platters hit #11 on the Top 40 charts, #9 on the Rhythm & Blues charts, and #23 in the United Kingdom. It would finish at #79 for the year, 1956. On July 9, 1955, Bill Haley and His Comets hit #1 with Rock Around the Clock, signifying the start of the Rock Era. On April 21, 1956, a black haired boy from Tupelo Mississippi named Elvis Presley hit #1 with Heartbreak Hotel, shooting this new sound into the stratosphere.
There is another song by the Platters "You'll never know" -----
You'll never know just how much I miss you, you'll never know just how much I care, and if I tried I still couldn't hide my love for you, you ought to know for haven't I told you so, a million of more times, you went away and my heart went with you, I speak your name in my every prayer, if there is some other way to prove that I love you I swear I don't know how, you'll never know if you don't know now.
Hi everyone I met Norris Vines one of the original Platters last weekend in a bar in Barrie, Ontario, what a great guy, very funny, many, many great stories to tell, he's turning 70 next month and looks great. Well respected among his peers in the music business, great friends with Curly Bridges another music icon, can't wait to sit down and chat with them again.
@156ricci Whenever I hear people say that Elvis was a white man who sang like a black man i immediately think that Tony Williams was that black man... and a better singer than Elvis, good though he was.. (BTW: I'm a pleasant shade of Italian pink).
im 16 and i wish music could go back to old times since most music is currently influencing everybody and making everybody think that killing is good and all that
My daddy is the bass singer for the marcels, mr teeter, not fread johnson,, he get's all the credit,, my daddy is the real mr bass men!!, he passed in 08,, we love you daddy
now 43...all my life i have enjoyed this era of music from the platters to the ink spots, from the Dells to the Five Satins. Thanks Mom and Dad for always playing music that fills my heart. For all fans of doo wop....try JD MCPHERSON North Side Gal. Tell me he didn't listen to his folks 45's. Really, take a listen.
Right, kaos! although the Platters recorded a version of "You'll Never Know" in the early sixties with a different lead singer who took over after Tony Williams left.
The talent that was floating around in that time and space was the highest level that you could imagine,so much that you had a difficult time picking one over another.all were triple rated.
GUYS THIS ISNT THE MUSIC THAT WHITEBOY WAS TALKING ABOUT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT "YOU WILL NEVER KNOW" NOT "YOU'LL NEVER KNOW". THE ONE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT IS BY LUPE FIASCO
I was born in the '30s and I love the Platters. The star of course was the great Tony Williams, the original lead singer you hear on all the original hits including You'll Never Know. After Tony left for an ill-conceived and unsuccessful solo venture he unfortunately fell into relative obscurity. A truly great male pop vocali whose name is oft times unknown..
In all time harmony groups I list the Platters right up there with the original Mills Brothers.
Good grief, did I mess up that last post yesterday. I know it sounded terrible as written. It should read:
Most but NOT ALL of my favorite singers and groups are black. But that does not diminish my love and respect for the white singers and groups I listen to. I am a very mature (age wise that is) white man and I have experiences and likes in a wide range of music. The only thing I hate worse than Heavy Metal type "music" is RAP, otherwise I can appreciate almost any other kind of music.
I am 67 yrs and give big dittoes to babsbion1. Most but NOT ALL singers and groups are black. A few: The King, Nat Cole type, Brook Benton, Arthur Prysock, Billy Exstein, Sam Cooke, Clyde McPhatter, Major Lance, The Temps, The Tops, Impressions, Diana Washington, Sarah Vaughn, Tammy Terrell etc: The black racist and the whole black community are being punished for the hate of toomany. Their hellish fate is called RAP. So sorry for those who unjustly suffer through that.
I'm 68 years old and it was never black or white groups that meant something. It was the song and the words that meant something, and the Platters were and always will be my favorite, and yes I am white. So sad that there are still so many racists out there. The music from my era is and will always be classic!
@babsbion1 I'm younger than you just 66 in a couple of months. Also white, as if it makes a difference. Used to sing the Platters songs around the house with my brothers and on the streets also in England. Great days and a wonderful group.
@babsbion1 i had a secret crush on this girl she never knew how mcuh i cared for her. later her husband died she didn't know because i married a wonderful woman
@babsbion1 im 24 and yes sir i agree..there is not a single day that goes by that i wish i was born in the 60s so i can listen to queen,led zep,elvis etc etc..how i wish..i would sell my soul to see les zep and queen live or just live in those times...
Makes me wonder how many of our age listen here, now, and feel and think, precisely what you put into words in such a lovely and honest manner. Thank you very much, fellow 68 friend! (Any we have not yet met, are simply that, 'friends' we just haven't yet met.)
@babsbion1 my mom played this a lot, and for me it was music to my ears, it actually calm me. comparing this to today's songs is un-comparable, and I'm 26 by the way.
@cgdsr Ignorant comment..If it wasn't for the White people back in the day these black singers wouldn't of made a dime..Elvis in my book sucked..Alot of these Do Wop groups were White..Try googling the Crests for one the best song ever ...16 candles....I could name many more but stay in your little bubble world.
@schwibert I was lucky enough to be there. I went to James Brown concerts, Diana Ross's first solo concert, Stevie Wonder when he played in a little bar down the street from my house. There just isn't anything you can tell me about music from that era. Great times. Lots of times there would be just me and a small group of friends that were the only white people. Spent a lot of time at Santa Monica Pier and POP meeting all the new 'white' groups -pop, surfer groups and folk singers.
@schwibert ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ha a hahahahahahahahahahhhahahahahhahahahahhahhahahhahahahhahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahhahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhahhahaahhahahahhahahhahhahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhahhhahahahahah
@schwibert sorry but compared to the black doo wop groups , the white groups couldnt hold a candle.......
and what do you mean without whites? Blacks were just fine making their own music for the majority of the 20th century. If you mean selling music to whites , then yes , i agree
It was during this time that you had to be better than good, you had to be 'Perfect'...but only if you were black! the engles could be 'mediocre' at best, as well as immitater, like pat boone's rendition 'tootie fruitie' ?? yet people like him made the top 10! but like I said the African-American...had to be "PERFECT" in those dayz before M.L.K.!
At one time, The Platters, with Tony, were the ultimate. After he was gone, they sortof shrunk! I can only remember all the great times! They were royalty!
Oh my god... they know how I feel... new artist just don't have this ability, to touch your feeling, to sing about your pain, to let you know that you're not the one who have this kind of thoughts and problems.
@187vdpful yes he is still alive ..herb reed still has his own group the herb reed platters ..think they are still performing....tony williams lead singer was an amazing singer as they all were
Real people real voices amazing, I doubt you'll find anyone with poor grammar or even worse poor spelling listening to this. Pure joyful untampered with vocal sound, I thank god (and I am not a believer) that I am lucky enough to be able to have heard and appreciate such records.
This is another great song written by Harry Warren. I loved this as a teenager in the fifties. Fifty years later I still feel as if I am back in time.
you know i just went from listening to a metal band named chelsea grin to this and before that i listened to nevermore and pantera and blue october...i have a very large taste in music and i know good music when i hear it...this is good music =)
@irmelee123 I hear ya. I listen to Zeppelin, Alice in chains, outkast, mgmt, daft punk, depeche mode, waylon jennings, the righteous brothers, the platters.....on and on I could go. Good music exists in every genre and from every decade.
Fantastic group. I am 23 (2010) and I grew up listening to the platters with my parents in the far east. I was born was too late :-p what happened to passion in our/my generation?
Hi, Ya'll, after hearing this song, several times- I must get me a Platters Album/cd-
they are the Best from that time, so many, many great hits... the harmonies and that
oldies style... we will never, ever hear music like this again, ever!!! Thanks for posting, I truly LOVE it, and ziggylia, YOU made MY night, thanks... Marcie* xxx
I met The Platters at Skinny D'motos Club 500 in Atlantic City, right after Tony Williams left them. They just finished their last song, Me and my buddy were one of the few whites there, We came in with Rudy Lewis, of the Drifters, who we just met in Wildwood. He introduced us to Lloyd Price and Irma Franklin. After we talked, we all hopped in my 59 Chevy and another car and went to an All nite bar and played pool and they even sang some songs. What a nite! I'll never forget it!
For those of you, that are not aware of the members; Tony Williams - Lead, Paul Robi - Baritone, David Lynch - Tenor, Paul Reed - Bass, and of course, Zola Taylor. Had thedistinct pleasure of meeting and getting to know them, individually, in 1957, when they were appearing at one of Alan Freed's R&R concerts at the Paramount Theater, in NYC. They were so gracious and wonderful. As a matter of fact, they hired me to photograph them in their individual dressing rooms, at that time.
Hey guys just look the happy smiles of these greatest singers, doesnt make you think that Jehovah has created human rase beautiful? That is why you and me should love each other as a brothers!! no wars, not hatred, what a great music is this of the Platters. Chao
Simply said..they are wonderful... I loved them back when I was a teen and I still love listening to them. Beautiful tone, perfect pitch, just all around great!!!!!
Job done, no electricery just a good voice no point trying to convince anyone of the "youf" this is better so just enjoy it and smile while you listen knowing what the fools are missing
im 31 here and from brazil ..i did listen this music when i had 10 years old ..and i did like it !! i like it today ..proably my sons will like this tomorrow !
HUMAN VOICES SONGS ARE SO 50S AND SO GOOD:) cheers from Brazil:P
Oh my Gosh what a music, the Platters has had the esential of a romantic musician group, i love the Platters, i think will never ever appear a romantic musician group as well as the the Platters. Thank you very much ziggylia for posting this fantastic video.
Absolutely love this song!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best songs by The Platters....actually that is hard to say.....they had tons of amazing songs.....they are one of my all time favorite groups ever.....from past to present!!!!!!!
I was born the year this came out, was 18 when the Platters sang it, and you know, they were wrong; we do get to know, but come as close to never knowing as this song is to heavenly.
Absolutly one of the greatist groups ever that came from the 50's and 60's era. It's still a great pleasure the see them live on old video's and amire their talent!
The Original Platters are not the ones who are traveling the concert circuit. How the old groups stay legal is that there always has to be one of the original singers and then an original with the new "original" get it.?
Your English is a little broken up and I cannot understand some of what you are asking, but as for the singer changing I have no idea if that is true or not. I saw them recently here at Fort Lewis on the 4th of July this year and they sounded great.

Real people real voices amazing, I doubt you'll find anyone with poor grammar or even worse poor spelling listening to this. Pure joyful untampered with vocal sound, I thank god (and I am not a believer) that I am lucky enough to be able to have heard and appreciate such records.

This is another great song written by Harry Warren. I loved this as a teenager in the fifties. Fifty years later I still feel as if I am back in time.

I met The Platters at Skinny D'motos Club 500 in Atlantic City, right after Tony Williams left them. They just finished their last song, Me and my buddy were one of the few whites there, We came in with Rudy Lewis, of the Drifters, who we just met in Wildwood. He introduced us to Lloyd Price and Irma Franklin. After we talked, we all hopped in my 59 Chevy and another car and went to an All nite bar and played pool and they even sang some songs. What a nite! I'll never forget it!

For those of you, that are not aware of the members; Tony Williams - Lead, Paul Robi - Baritone, David Lynch - Tenor, Paul Reed - Bass, and of course, Zola Taylor. Had thedistinct pleasure of meeting and getting to know them, individually, in 1957, when they were appearing at one of Alan Freed's R&R concerts at the Paramount Theater, in NYC. They were so gracious and wonderful. As a matter of fact, they hired me to photograph them in their individual dressing rooms, at that time.

The Original Platters are not the ones who are traveling the concert circuit. How the old groups stay legal is that there always has to be one of the original singers and then an original with the new "original" get it.?

Your English is a little broken up and I cannot understand some of what you are asking, but as for the singer changing I have no idea if that is true or not. I saw them recently here at Fort Lewis on the 4th of July this year and they sounded great.
