The Platters All-Time Greatest Hits
Label: Mercury Recorded : 1955-1967 Released : 2004 Format : Mp3@320  Recorded between 1956 & 1967. This is a superb single-disc distillation of the Platters' biggest hits, with all 15 of their first Top Forty hits, an astonishing run that went from 1955's "Only You (And You Alone)" through 1960's "Harbor Lights" -- and adds the more modern soul-pop successes they landed in 1966 and 1967 with "With This Ring" and "I Love You 1000 Times." This set proves that the Platters recorded some of the finest, and certainly the most successful, pop-doo wop crossover music ever made. ~ Richie Unterberger  Tracklist : 01.

The group were managed by entrepreneur / songwriter: Buck Ram (b. Samuel Ram, 21st November 1907, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. d. 1st January 1991, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.). Through his ownership of the Platters' name, Ram was able to control the group throughout their career. The Platters, originally, comprised of: Tony Williams (lead tenor - b. 15th April 1928, Roselle, New Jersey, U.S.A. d. 14th August 1992, Manhattan, New York, U.S.A.) David Lynch (tenor - b. 3rd July 1929, St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A., d. 2nd January 1981, Long Beach, California, U.S.A.) Alex Hodge (brother of Gaynel Hodge - baritone - b. 1935 d. 1982.) and Herb Reed (bass - b. 7th August 1928, Kansas City, Missouri, U.S.A. d. 4th June 2012, Boston Massachussetts, U.S.A.) This line-up recorded in 1954, and led to the arrival of two new members: Paul Robi (baritone - b. 20th August 1931, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.A. d. 1st February 1989, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.) (who replaced Alex Hodge) And Zola Taylor (contralto - b. 17th March 1934, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. d. 30th April 2007, Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.).  Sharing Widget |
