Favorite song by the Platters?

[NightTrain]

They were the #1 selling vocal group of rock 'n' roll's first half-decade. They were also the genre's first act to appeal both to the kids and to their parents. Now, let's see which of the Platters' classic hits is the favorite on DU!

1. When your heart's on fire, you must realize....

...smoke gets in your eyes.

3. Man, they were the GOLD standard,

back when the world was young.

[NightTrain]

6. Can't argue with that!

Hell, my list only scratches the surface of all the hits the Platters had in the '50s and early '60s!

4. This is a tough one. Can't choose. Can't vote.

5. "The Great Pretender"

Great lyrics, amazing vocal arrangement.

Followed very closely by "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes".

[GOPisEvil]

7. They asked me how I knew...her brassiere was blue....

Uh, er, one vote for "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes." :D

[ForrestGump]

8. "Great Pretender" over "Only You," but barely, with

"Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" right behind. Tough call! Beautiful harmonies.

[TEXASYANKEE]

9. Only You

It was a difficult choice, but Only You is one of my very favorite songs. Classic.
