Platters, The - The Magic Touch: Singles Collection 1955-62 '2024

Tracks list

Fronted by Tony Williams’ distinctive tenor, the heavenly harmonies of
The Platters are intrinsically linked with the rock ‘n’ roll
movement of the 1950s. Monumental tracks such as “Only You (And You
Alone)”, “The Great Pretender”, “Smoke Gets In Your
Eyes”, and “My Prayer” would prove successful on both sides of
the Atlantic and their music would be universally appreciated by generations
through landmark movies such as “Rock Around The Clock”, “The
Girl Can’t Help It”, and “American Graffiti”. The
Platters were an incredibly talented collective that bridged the gap between
doowop and the early rock ‘n’ roll explosion. They racked up more
than 40 chart hits in the US between 1955 and 1967, leaving an indelible mark on
the musical landscape. Their distinctive sound, primarily based on the tenor
lead vocal styling of frontman Williams, made them the most successful black
group of their era. This collection celebrates their legacy with 16 of their
greatest and most fondly remembered releases during the extraordinary first
decade of their career. Their remarkable records have stood the test of time as
pop and R&B classics, leaving a lasting impression in the hearts of music lovers
of all ages.
