4 out of 5 stars The Platters.......2007-03-13

Great music if you enjoyed the 50's like I did. Brings back a lot of old and fine memories.

5 out of 5 stars a little background on the Platters.......2007-03-07

The Platters were perhaps the top group of the 50s with such huge hits as "Only you," "Smoke gets in your eyes," "the Great Pretender," "Red sails in the sunset," "Smoke gets in your eyes," etc. Those of you who loved American Graffiti probably noticed the presence of Platters hits on the radio as the teenagers drove around the California town all night long.

The personel has changed over the years. Only 4 people are now allowed to bill themselves as the Platters. Herb Reed ( a bassist), Sonny Turner,(lead vocalist), Zola Taylor (female vocalist) and Monroe Powell (vocalist)

According to the Herb Reed and the Platters web site, the Platters have recorded almost 400 songs. How many were hits? A large number to say the least. The Platters, of course, are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and have appeared in many movies.[...]

5 out of 5 stars old timer in Alabama.......2007-01-09

This is an exceptional album if you grew up in the 60's and 70's. Brought back many memories and is an excellent dance record. I play quite a bit and thoroughly enjoy every time I play. Great Selection!!!
I had to buy one for my sister and a friend.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Memory ! ! !.......2006-11-10

Wow, what great memories with this music......1955/56 in the army listening to "The Great Pretender" and others in the local pubs around Hackensack, N.J.....if you could only go back in time.

5 out of 5 stars Excellente!.......2006-03-12

'p d harris' said everything there is to say.... but I'd just like to agree with him.

Fabulous fabulous cd. I can't stop listening to it. *swoon*

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars THE PLATTERS 16 GREATEST HITS.......2001-08-30

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS CD. IT DIDN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE THE PLATTERS BUT A VERY POOR IMITATION.

1 out of 5 stars Not Worth the Money.......2001-07-15

As stated before, without the original artists, this CD is not comparable to the Cassette "The Platters - Encore of Golden Hits" I thought I was getting the CD just like the cassette. Wrong!

1 out of 5 stars THE GREAT IMPOSTERS.......2000-03-26

Save your money, without Tony Williams & Zola Taylor it's just not worth listening to. The c/d does make a good oversized earring though or maybe it could be used as a "frizbee".

1 out of 5 stars Where's Tony Williams??.......1999-01-30

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 out of 5 stars not original lead (tony Williams)...inferior........1999-01-13

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.
