Biography

1.0 out of 5 stars Where's Tony Williams??, January 29, 1999
By 
Alison Reed (Cordova, TN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Platters - 16 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
Some compilations of the Platters' songs are not originals. The best sources for original recordings are those issued by Mercury or a two-disc Anthology issued by Rhino. There are several groups still touring as the Platters, although some do not have even a remote connection to the original group.

1.0 out of 5 stars not original lead (tony Williams)...inferior., January 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Platters - 16 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
If you are a Platters afficionado, you will be disappointed by these cuts. Only two original members (Herb Reed & David Lynch) are here. Very inferior cuts, lacking the well-known and acclaimed intensity of the original lead singer.

This review is from: The Platters - 16 Greatest Hits (Audio CD)
MY HUSBAND AND I WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CD. IT DIDN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE THE PLATTERS BUT A VERY POOR IMITATION.
