Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, The Platters, have recorded close to 400 songs—selling over 80 million copies—and have been featured in movies Rock Around the Clock, Girl’s Town, Europe by Night, and many more. Original members Tony Williams, Zola Taylor, David Lynch, Paul Robi, and Herb Reed created the group in 1954. As one of the most recognizable American vocal groups, The Platters had hits like “Only You,” “Smoke Get in Your Eyes,” “My Prayer,” “The Great Pretender,” and “Magic Touch,” all of which defined the era of early Rock & Roll or pre-Rock.
While The Platters have divided over the years, members coming and going, Benjamin Mitchell maintains the poise, sound, and perfection of The Platters with his show “The Platters Live.”
