The Platters were an American vocal group formed in Los Angeles in 1952. They were one of the most successful vocal groups of the early rock and roll era, known for their smooth, soulful harmonies. The original members were Tony Williams, David Lynch, Alex Hodge, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor.
The Platters achieved great success with hits such as "Only You," "The Great Pretender," and "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes." They were one of the first African American groups to be accepted by a white audience, and they helped pave the way for other black artists to achieve mainstream success. The Platters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 1998. Their music continues to be celebrated and enjoyed by audiences around the world.
