I honestly don't know much about The Platters as a group, but this compilation album has some great songs on it, including the hits "The Great Pretender," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," and "Only You (And You Alone)." These were the early days of rock and roll and R&B and The Platters were one of the most popular groups out there. The 60s saw the coming of the Civil Rights Movement, and groups like The Platters helped push African-American music into the mainstream, which played a role in breaking down racial prejudices. The music of that era continues to resonate today and is still enjoyable to listen to.
