You can still go see the Platters. They tour constantly.

I remember The Platters well. I had two older sisters, one who graduated high school in ‘58, and the other that graduated in ‘60. Besides their 45 releases, we had some of their albums too. I graduated in ‘65, but will always remember the great music my sisters introduced me to in the 50’s.

The Pretenders should do a song called “The Great Platter.”

“Harbor Lights” and “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” were my favorites.
