Smooth...so smooth. Expect to hear the massive classic hits that have become indelibly ingrained in the hearts of a planet.

THE PLATTERS were one of the top vocal groups of the �50s scene, achieving success with a crooning, middle-of-the-road style that put a soulful coat of uptown polish on pop-oriented, harmony-rich material. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the Tin Pan Alley tradition and the burgeoning new genre of Rock n Roll. As one of the first �black� groups to be targeted towards a predominantly white youth audience in the US, they toured the world as international ambassadors of musical goodwill.

That vibe continues as their music lives on in such legendary titles as �Only You�, �The Great Pretender�, �The Magic Touch�, �My Prayer�, �Smoke Gets In Your Eyes�, �With This Ring�, �Earth Angel� and �Twilight Time�.

Expect to hear these and many more that have become indelibly ingrained in the hearts of a planet.

In an era where �the single� was the thing � THE LEGENDARY PLATTERS released an
amazing total of 38 singles. They were a global sensation, selling fifty-three million records and appearing in 27 rock and roll-themed movies, including Rock Around the Clock and The Girl Can�t Help It. They were also among the first Doo-Wop groups to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame (1990). Get out for an evening of smooth, soulful fun, sure to soothe heart and mind.
