    4 out of 5 stars A "Best of the Platters" CD without "The Great Pretender"?!.......2005-03-08

    Fans of the Platters will enjoy this collection, which includes four of the Platters' big hits and six of their lesser known hits, but as "the Very Best" of the Platters it is misnamed. Many of the songs that most of us immediately associate with this group are not included, so those fans hoping to rekindle memories of the early 1950s and 1960s may be disappointed. The CD does include four of the Platters' biggest hits-"You've Got the Magic Touch," "My Prayer," "You'll Never Know," and "Twilight Time."

    The CD does NOT include the following major hits for this group: "Only You," their first #1 hit on the R and B chart, which crossed over and became #5 on the pop charts and "The Great Pretender," their next hit, which was #1 on the pop charts, and which may be the song most immediately associated with the Platters. Other major hits that are missing in this collection include "If I Didn't Care," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," and "On My Word of Honor," all major hits for the group.

    These missing songs (along with the big "hits" that are included here) are available on some of the other "Very Best of the Platters" CDs. While serious fans may delight in finding some of the group's lesser hits to fill in their collections, the fan looking for one CD which has all the biggest hits, may want to look at some of the other choices in the "Very Best of the Platters" collections so that they can see which collections best bring back their own memories of that early rock-and-roll era.

    Of the four "Very Best of the Platters" albums now available, this collection by Universal Music is the one that includes ALL the Platters favorites for any teenager who was in love in the 1950s--"Only You," their first #1 hit on the R and B chart, which then became #5 on the pop chart, when it crossed over; "The Great Pretender," their next hit, which was #1 on the pop charts; and "Magic Touch," "My Prayer" (another #1 pop hit), and "Twilight Time." It is also the only one of the recordings to include another favorite, "On My Word of Honor."

    Featuring the wonderful Tony Williams as tenor soloist, with a voice ranging from a soft whisper to a soaring vibrato, these songs bring back the days of the post-football game parties in basement rec rooms, slow dancing, duck tail haircuts, and "true romance." If you were alive in the '50s and early '60s, I defy you to hear this collection without tapping toes and reminiscing about your first sweetheart. The voices are so strong that the very small amount of background noise will not be noticeable.

    Now thought of as "doo wop," because of the beat and the finger-snapping rhythms, these songs set the scene for rock and roll a few years later, ushering in a new music which incorporated gospel and soul sounds never before part of the mainstream. The first all-black group to become universally popular, the Platters established a hit-producing presence and opened doors to the many black doo-wop groups which succeeded them into the 1960s. Trend-setters whose influence was felt for fifteen years, the Platters (and this collection) are an indispensable part of the high school memories of a whole generation. Mary Whipple

          I was very unhappy with the quality of the songs many of them were not sung by the original artist nor was quality of the sound very good the volume of the music would change in the middle of the song. Overall I was very, very, very unhappy with the album. If everything you sold was of this quality I would not be a customer very long.
