I bet Tony Williams is turning over in his grave after hearing this bad version. The Platters was the most successful vocal group of the 50s. They would have never been popular if they sounded like this. Listen to the REAL Platters..that had Tony Williams and Zola Taylor.
Most of the original members of the groups from the 1950's have passed on (RIP).
Today some of these groups carry on the tradition in name and songs with few, if any, original members. They fill the rosters with the best singers available.
they look sharp in thise tuxes and sund pretty darn good find another famous rock group in their 60's that still sound this good and i'll eat a pile of floppys
@34D2234 WHAT????....START EATING SHIT....ASSHOLE...THE WHO....DEEP PURPLE....HEAVEN AND HELL...THE LIST GOES ON....AND BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN YOU SAY..."ANTOHER """"ROCK""""??? GROUP....UHHHH THIS KIND OF CRAP...IS THE FURTHEST THING FROM ROCK....YOU WILL EVER HERE....THIS IS THE '50'S VERSION OF (C)RAP AND SHIT-HOP.
We went to see them here in Australia and the same guy I saw 44 years ago was in it. Munro Powell, but the guy singing here has been around a long long time too. They gave a great performance, and as they said, they had to make some changes to keep up with modern day requests..

THIS GUY SUCKS , TONY WILLIAMS DIED IN 1992 , THERE IS ONLY ONE MEMBER OF THE ORIGINAL GROUP STILL LIVING AND THAT IS HERB REED . THESE GUYS ARE DOG SHIT, DONT QUIT YOUR DAY JOB
It's actually rather sickening how many ripoff acts calling themselves "The Platters" or some variation thereof there are. Without Tony Williams, who passed away in 1992, and without Sonny Turner, who is doing his own act, no one sounds like the Original Platters. And no one ever will.
Herb Reed is the only surviving member of the original Platters. Considering that Herb is standing in the background on the left while this guy butchers the song . . . .
who the hell is this bogus singer? maybe the rest are there ,but RAY isn't he's dead!He died in the late 70's early 80's ! He died in Wolfville Nova Scotia Canada. Wake the fuck up !!! I'm really fed up with american ignorance!!!!
One correction this is Herb Reeds' group as bad as the lead is they still are one of two legit Platters groups around the other being Sonny Turners' group. Lord, this lead singer is terrible.
Herb's been through a lot of lead singers in keeping his legacy alive for live performance.
Some of them (one named Tony Funches, for example) have been pretty good, though there can be only one Tony Williams (long since departed this life).
Unfortunately, this fellow he has here has some pretty serious pitch problems - along with an over-intense vibrato, he is often singing sharp (above the melody, for the non-singers out there). I hope he's got a better singer now.
Finally a video of the REAL Platters featuring REAL Platter Herb Reed. Met all the guys, Herb & Wayne are fantastic to talk to. Is William still with them?
Would that be because he is singing in the same style as the original recording, and sounds like the original recording? Or do you prefer to hear the way that the "The Great Pretenders" murder it?
It is impossible to compare Tony William's voice and this one which is not good for my ears ! Tony William's voice was awesome, amazing, wonderful, the best I ever heared..! Did you really listen to it ?!
