4.0 out of 5 stars Tony Williams and friends, 17 Jun 2008
By Sly Fox "Sound Gems" (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
This latest TV advertised set has 20 tracks from the America's first soul group. All the original 50's well known songs are included, except for "You'll Never, Never Know (I Care)". Have they included "You'll Never Know", which is a different tune entirely, by mistake ? However, it's the oddities that make this compilation so intriguing. If you buy the album for Tony Williams smooth lead vocals, you will not be disappointed by the hits and versions of standards like "September In The Rain" and you might even be pleasantly surprised by rare tracks like "I Don't Know Why", presumably with Zola Taylor on lead. Is it a different male lead on "Temptation" and "You've Changed" ? Nevertheless, they are fine cuts. I would have preferred if the version of "Crying In The Chapel" had been omitted and the inclusion of what sounds like a sixties or seventies cut of Ketty Lester's "Love Letters" is very odd. It's just out of place. Still, this is a nice taster of this groups fine musical legacy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doo-Wop Lives!, 4 Feb 2009
This is the archetypal 'doo-wop' sound of the fifties, and includes the Platters' greatest hits, 'Only You' and 'The Great Pretender'.

Whoever covers these songs, they will never eliminate the indelible mark the Platters made on them. I am a singer/songwriter, and needed to remind myself of the authentic fifties rhythms for use on my own songs - my second album is developing a fifties-ish flavour!

I really enjoyed this trip down Memory Lane.

An excellent CD just what I was looking for to help me relax!! the only down side is track 2 in which you can hear more of the backing than than the actual song. great for anyone looking for nostaligia!!
