What a group! The Platters were the classiest of the "Doo-Wop" groups but were so much more than just Doo-Wop. The earliest Platters were the best before personnel changes started happening, but all the songs on this CD are true classics with excellent solos, back-up vocals and superb harmony. Makes you want to grab your lover and dance in the dark!

This collection is everything you want, and more! "Only You", "The Great Pretender", "Magic Touch", "Twilight Time" - and 16 more super songs from this super group. A cold night, warm fire, good drink, dog asleep on the rug at your feet, and The Platters serenading - who could ask for more?!?

The Platters were one of the best vocal groups in the 50s-period. Tony Williams, their lead singer, had one of the best doo-wop voices ever. You should check them out for no other reason then his voice.

My husband purchased this CD and has thoroughly enjoyed it and plays it often. Reminds him of days gone by and the wonderful music we had.

buy this platters cd it has all the greatest hits relive the doo wop period with this enjoy sound quality is amazing cd is made in belguim

I'm no music expert; but I grew up in the 50's -- and I know what these tunes are supposed to sound like. A few of these tracks are excellent -- the way they are supposed to sound; but at least half of this collection is flat and lifeless. I have no idea what the problem is; but many cuts sound like they are bad rehearsal tapes made before these guys perfected their sound. I returned this disc and am looking for another CD -- you should too.

Love the Platters. You can find a lot of redos with groups allowed to call themselves The Platters. This is the real deal. Buy it.
