The Platters

History
The Platters formed in Los Angeles in 1952, a rhythm and blues vocal group whose sound bridged pre-rock Tin Pan Alley pop and the emerging rock and roll era. The group's name came from a kitchen-table conversation: founding member Herb Reed noticed a stack of 78 rpm records and said they looked like platters. Manager and songwriter Buck Ram reshaped the lineup around lead tenor Tony Williams, adding Paul Robi and vocalist Zola Taylor alongside Reed and David Lynch, the configuration now remembered for the group's biggest hits. Signed to Mercury Records in 1955, The Platters scored four number-one singles and 40 charting entries on the Billboard Hot 100 through 1967, including 'Only You (And You Alone),' 'The Great Pretender,' 'The Magic Touch,' 'My Prayer,' 'Twilight Time,' and 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes.' Notably, Federal Records first rejected 'Only You' as unreleasable; re-recorded for Mercury, it became a signature hit. The Platters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.
