This is from a Platters LP from 1969. Lead singer on this record is Sonny Turner.

Tony eventually went out on his own and put on very good show. Saw him in Bermuda in 1979 and many times since in Las Vegas where he still performs regularly. His Platters work Oldies concerts.
this is not to slow ... my man has me in his arms on the dance floor ... his breath slow and deep ... is heart pounding hard and low ... he say's "do you" ... this wonderful song gets me there (the 60's) with this great singing voice... )

The Greatest SCIENTIFIC Explanation. The SPIRIT Lives! HEAVENLY FATHER HAS APPEARED AND HE WALKS AMONG US. Only the Creator Himself can reveal His vision as His own.

Watch and rejoice…this is Real !! Yes, it is He ! @ La Parola In Cuatro. (He even looks like ZEUS !!) + I’ve enjoyed your video
Another Guy that I really like to hear sing this song is Johnny Maestro of the Crests and the Brooklyn Bridge....although I like everything that he has done!
@stafylides First there were The Inkspots and then came The Platters...probably the first two black groups to become International recognised, including America... I am not an authority on The Platters history, but as a singer who studied the voice, Tony Williams from the original group was a 'God-given' voice. To see him in his latter years is so sad... to throw away such a gift is an incomprehensible travesty...for very few receive this gift...Original Platters first hit 'Only You' about 1954
@sdi1111 Thank you for the info. I agree with you, Tony Williams did have an excellent singing voice. As did that boy, what's his name, Little Anthony? who was also very talented musically and died from drug abuse. What a shame. At least we can enjoy their music on here. The Platters are my fav singing group of all time !!!
@stafylides Thanks for your reply... If you enjoy beautiful songs, then I am sure you will appreciate my song on YouTube...go to or paste: 'Roberto Gennari/This Crazy Heart', Feel the power of love and the simple words I wrote..Of course, I am very biased, and I realise with some sadness that there are many out there who have no passion in their hearts..only those who have loved and lost are able to feel the power of this song... I would be interested in your comments. Regards, Roberto
@lachikachilena57 , you must watch Midnight in Paris, in that movie your idea about wrong time of burn is described very well, and in common is very good film about nostalge about the past
@bijeleudovice2 Always something new to learn. I listened to Mr. Duncan's version. It was only fair by comparison to the Platters take on it, and I doubt if anyone else would have carried the song forward without the Platters version. Just my opinion. I also learned that since this song was from a prison movie, then time could be related to serving time in prison, instead of, as I also erroneously thought, time spent at sea between meetings of lovers in the US. 6 months would have been normal.
@bijeleudovice2 I stand corrected then. In my experience, as I said above, this version of the song was the original. Should I have said it was the original song that lay people heard on the radio? I don't think I ever saw the prison film "Unchained" and I don't think I ever heard Todd Duncan sing the vocals for the film soundtrack. I will listen to it if it is on Youtube and see if it provokes anything in my memory. Thanks for correcting me. I don't feel stupid somehow.
wasn't this song fron the movie unchained with kirk douglas as crazy legs hirsch? crazy legs (elroy) had a stinted in chino min security prison. im so sure i heard this song then back in the 50's?
In 1955, Alex North and lyricist Hy Zaret were contracted to write a song as a theme for the obscure prison film Unchained, and their song eventually became known as the "Unchained Melody.
With Todd Duncan singing the vocals, the song was nominated for an Oscar in 1955, but the Best-Song award went to the hit song "Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing."
Without this Platters's version of the song, the original take on this song, there would have been no righteous brothers version, no elvis version, no tom jones version. I like all of them, but this is the original. I was in Sonar school in San Diego and a friend from there, last name CLARY(Hey,dude) brought his new wife to San Diego and introduced me and several of his Sonar buddies to her. This was their song. He played it and it was the first time I had heard it. 1955.
@1Makyo Old memories. The other song Clary liked, and it seems he was thinking of his wife when it played, was Earth Angel. By the Penguins. Sorry to take up so much space here. I like to talk, and share.
Have u lied? Have u stolen? Jesus said if you look at a women with lust you have committed adultery with here in your heart.
If God judge’s u by the Ten Commandments will u be innocent or guilty? Does this concern you? The Bible says despise the value of your eye compared to the value of your soul. would u sell your eye for a million dollars? And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. needgod.com
Nobody is touching The Righteous Brothers, The Platters, And Clay Aiken at this Unchained Melody of Beauty. I am 23 And have been listening to this song by Righteous Brothers for over 9 years. I love oldies and The Platters really nailed this song and made it one of their owns.
Why people feel the need to bring up Rap/Hip hop on these old black generation singers is beyond me. They are two separate genres in my opinion. Just because a certain type of 'black' music doesn't conform to your tastes does NOT give you the right to rant about it LOL
@JiggyMonster98 I WATCHED IT CUZ I WAS TRYING TO FIND A SICK VERSION OF THIS, AND ALL I GET IS THIS GAY SHIT, IM VERY DISAPOINTED,,,,,,,, I LOVE THEASE GUYS SONGS BUT THIS WAS GAY
although this version is done well I think its a slower version of the righteouse brothers wish I like the best only because itsconnected to the movie goast
@15aramis15 I agree and disagree. Us younger folk who recognize what good music is I feel may appreciate it the same if not more because we know its our generations that are f****** it all up. Older people have perhaps gotten to experience this good stuff at least a little while people like myself are left dreaming of a more golden era, wishing that somehow we could get back to real music and real people.
@jimincairns The 1st person to record this Beautiful song was Todd Duncan in 1955..The recording was made for the soundtrack of the obscure prison film "Unchained."
robinandthe7hoods - well said. Maybe for many of today's artists its due to the lack of love and attention from loving parents that breeds contempt for anything including oneself. Or maybe shock value is king now, nothing is pure or respected anymore.
iv been listening to this its making me sleepy so it must be great,and iv been in line with that drummer at every beat i would have played it no other way..
I like The Platters, and their version here, but, no...sorry...does not, ABSOLUTELY does NOT compare to Elvis' version! Elvis' perfect rendition can nearly make me well-up w emotion.
The original, and best, lead singer of the Platters was Tony Williams. But even when he left they were still one of the greatest singing groups of all time.
THIS is beautiful music and RAP is crap or some guy who can't sing chanting a load of garbage.
es mucho mejor esta version, righteus brothers la copio de esta version asi como el ejemplo de PERCY SLEDGER dio la pauta de como cantar "when a man like a woman" y vino ELTON JOHN a copiar a percy
Oh My God! That would have to be the best. Only the Best. It is as @lackofriposte says "This is hands-downs the best version of this song" It is beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. Words cannot express my appreciation. xxx <3 xxx
Everything the Platters did was outstanding, all solid voices. But no one ever mentions the great rendition of this song by Al Hibbler, right back to the early 50's.
Espetáculo, músicas inesquecíveis, já não se faz\ cantores como antes. A interpretação de The Platters é linda demais. Melodia que noz faz bem a alma.
This is hands-down the best version of this song. I don't care what anyone says, the Elvis versions and the stupid Righteous Brothers versions may also be well executed, but they just can't compare to the emotion in this version. I can feel the pain and longing of this singer. This is an amazingly well done song.
@lackofriposte Stupid Righteous Brothers version? Bobby Hatfield owns this song and always will. I agree that the Platters did this very well. But they are still on second place. Way ahead of anyone else I've heard do it, but Hatfield is still #1 and will be forever.
@yoyorollyo "cant help but to correct you there"... yeah that shows you are superior. I bet you hardly speak anything but English. I also bet I'm better than you in this language and i know you are going to base your counter on the fact that I missed the "i" key once. I bet you that I am not going to reply to whatever you might write.
@pauloesnegro And you sound like a bully. People are entitled to their own tastes, and the Righteous Brothers version is the one I prefer, probably because it's the version I grew up with. I love the Platters work in general, but this track is a little too polished for my taste. Needs a bit more passion.
@MrSwanley schoolyard "abuse"?? are you seriously not like a teacher or something? you really sound like a principal or a soccer mom. Anyways fuck you, also, im dying to meet you so i can show you real abuse faggot.
@lackofriposte this version is good but i kinda like tha righteous brothers version better cause tha tempo or is a lil bit faster. this one is a lil bit of a drag..
@lackofriposte Watch this again I'd say it's a close call. How can you say the righteous brothers are stupid?! That's not right. Pick a favorite but don't HATE. I love the Platters and all their songs but I'd never say they're stupid even though I think the Righteous Brothers' version is 10x better
@lackofriposte You're high on drugs. This version good... very good, but better than the Righteous Brothers? No Way. Not in this universe no way. That being said, I like this version very much - a very talented group.
@lackofriposte this is to slow and dragged out for me.. and i didnt feel any emotion at all.. i didnt like the elvis version also.. but the righteous brothers took this song to another level.. bobby hatfields voice is well suited for this song..
to many haters on youtube really.. just enjoy the music
my favorite song... thank you very much!!!! all the songs of platters are so lovely. its help me a lot while im doing my masterpiece. visit my website gpabsky.com
this song was written for a film made in 1955 called unchained and was sung by a Todd Duncan ,then Al Hibbler went to no1 on british charts and no 3 on american charts and then Jimmy young released his version also going to no1 . it was then recorded by various artists including Harry Belafonte ,Gene vincent, Perry Como ,Cliff Townshend and Phil Spectre, and Bobby Hatfield which was incorectlycredited to the Righeteous brothers although they sang solo
this song just remind me of my brother inlaw and my cousin,sometimes it happened what we less expect,but it's part of life i hope they both have peace of mind;
Sorry, but Sonny Turner is nowhere near the singer that Tony Williams was. Tony was outstanding!

The original, and best, lead singer of the Platters was Tony Williams. But even when he left they were still one of the greatest singing groups of all time.
THIS is beautiful music and RAP is crap or some guy who can't sing chanting a load of garbage.

Everything the Platters did was outstanding, all solid voices. But no one ever mentions the great rendition of this song by Al Hibbler, right back to the early 50's.

@excop820 I like most versions but I always go back to Al Hibbler,from the 1955 movie "Unchained".

This is hands-down the best version of this song. I don't care what anyone says, the Elvis versions and the stupid Righteous Brothers versions may also be well executed, but they just can't compare to the emotion in this version. I can feel the pain and longing of this singer. This is an amazingly well done song.

@lackofriposte Stupid Righteous Brothers version? Bobby Hatfield owns this song and always will. I agree that the Platters did this very well. But they are still on second place. Way ahead of anyone else I've heard do it, but Hatfield is still #1 and will be forever.

@lackofriposte God. The Righteous Brothers made this song. They all show the emotion, just a different way of presenting it. Get over yourself.

@yoyorollyo "cant help but to correct you there"... yeah that shows you are superior. I bet you hardly speak anything but English. I also bet I'm better than you in this language and i know you are going to base your counter on the fact that I missed the "i" key once. I bet you that I am not going to reply to whatever you might write.

@pauloesnegro And you sound like a bully. People are entitled to their own tastes, and the Righteous Brothers version is the one I prefer, probably because it's the version I grew up with. I love the Platters work in general, but this track is a little too polished for my taste. Needs a bit more passion.

@lackofriposte Watch this again I'd say it's a close call. How can you say the righteous brothers are stupid?! That's not right. Pick a favorite but don't HATE. I love the Platters and all their songs but I'd never say they're stupid even though I think the Righteous Brothers' version is 10x better
