They aren't very well-remembered either, for good reason. When people think of the Platters, it will always be for their classic '50's recordings with Tony's soaring tenor.

They had a few Motown type hits in the mid'60's, but nothing ever matched, or got close to, the popularity of their records with Tony on lead. Most of their other records bubbled under the Hot 100 or scraped the bottom of the chart if they managed to get close to the national chart at all.

I wish I could find this album. It's a shame that Tony's solo career never took off, because he truly was one of the greatest pop singers of the 1950s with the Platters.

Tony Williams WAS the Platters. I've understood why they broke up, because the Platters were essentially the back up singers to Tony who sang the lead on all their hits.

Elmer he did get it togethrr.but old age caught up with him and his breathing.he gave up booze.helen his wife stood by till the end.a great lady.

Tony left the Platters a year or two before this recording to attempt a solo career.

I have "How Come" posted as well.

You are correct--those "hits" they had with Sonny aren't even worth mentioning IMO...

Actually, The Platters kept going with new lead singer Sonny Turner and had additional hits with Turner.

OMG, Tony Williams at his finest! Sad that he couldn't get it together. I met him and what a wonderful man. This song echos in my mind and ears so much each time I listen to it! He told me to remember He was King Tony, and I could be Prince if I worked hard!

Mr. G.
Who cares what the other Platters thought, Tony Williams was one of the greatest voices of all time. He was the platters

Haven't heard this record since it was issued back in 61. Covered in the UK by Billy Fury as the B side to I'd Never Find Another You.
Tony Williams made other solo records, one was called How Come, that is quite popular on the British Northern Soul scene, in fact I heard it played on Saturday night at Skegness by Roger Banks.
