History

The Platters came together in 1953 and formed a group that would become well known for producing immeasurable timeless classics, becoming a "one-of-a-kind" sensation! The Platters entered into a recording contract with Federal Records (which later became Mercury records), and in 1955, the band's first hit — "Only You" - topped the charts. Throughout the 50s and 60s, several hits followed— "The Great Pretender," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "I'll Never Smile Again," "It's Magic," and many others. Throughout the years, the group's list of timeless classics continued to grow to nearly 40 number one hits, and this multi-talented musical entourage received 16 gold records. Due to their never-ending talents and abilities to capture the attention of any crowd, this group has become a favorite of rock-n-roll, pop, rhythm and blues, and country listeners.
