The Platters are an American vocal group. They were one of the most successful vocal groups of the early rock and roll era. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the pre-rock Tin Pan Alley
tradition and the burgeoning new genre.
The act went through several
personnel changes, with the most successful incarnation comprising lead
tenor Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor.
The group had 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100
chart between 1955 and 1967, including four no. 1 hits.
The Platters
were one of the first African American groups to be accepted as a major
chart group and were, for a period of time, the most successful vocal
group in the world.
