Platters - Twilight Time (Original Stereo)
Loading...
Uploaded by Nocaro on May 11, 2010
In April of 1958 when "Twilight Time" was the #1 song in the nation, little did anyone realize that the sun was setting on the careers of this magnificent vocal group. The original hit-making Platters were comprised of lead tenor Tony Williams, Paul Robi, Herb Reed, David Lynch and the sole female vocalist, Zola Taylor. In 1959 while touring in Cincinnati, the four male members were arrested on drug and prostitution charges forever marring what was one of the most successful careers of any vocal group in pop history. Many radio stations refused to play the Platters' music after this incident, and by 1961 the Platters were disbanded (only to reform a few years later with new personnel).

I am watching the x-files, all seasons from start to finish and this song was in the episode "kill switch." Pretty epic choice of music, never heard it before but.. I feel like I've heard it before.

@leerockali Yes, Tony Williams is the lead singer on this and, of course, as well on their recording of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".
