The Platters - 20 Greatest Hits LP (United Kingdom, 180 Gram Vinyl, Pink Colored Vinyl)

In the 1950s, the American vocal group the Platters was the only major act to appeal to teenagers and their parents in equal measure. They had planned it that way or, at least, their manager, Buck Ram, did. When he was asked about their popularity, he didn't say, "They're going to be bigger than Elvis": he said, They're going to be bigger than Louis Armstrong!" The Platters sang standards and new ballads slickly and professionally in evening wear but there was a gentle beat to everything they did. They introduced us to the soul ballad although it wasn't known as such in the 1950s. Their influence lives on in the work of countless other artists, but none have bettered the originals. Enjoy this compilation of their greatest hits on 180g Vinyl.
