The Platters
Grâce à « Only You » et « The Great Pretender », deux succès inusables, deux slows qui ont fait danser serré plusieurs générations, les Platters constituent la formation vocale noir américaine la plus célèbre dans le monde. Formé à Los Angeles en 1953, puis pris en main par le manager Buck Ram, le groupe connaît un rapide succès et traversera cinq décennies. Buck Ram dirige l'entreprise « Platters » et traverse les changements de solistes et les vogues musicales, mais la mémoire retiendra les Platters comme le groupe qui a dominé les années cinquante.
« Only You » and « The Great Pretender » are two slow numbers that have made many generations of dancers go into a clinch, and so they rightly became eternal hits... thanks to which The Platters became the most famous Black American vocal group on the planet. The group was a success from the day it was founded (in Los Angeles in 1953) and, despite the occasional change of soloist brought about by new trends and styles in music, The Platters were synonymous with Pop in the Fifties, and are now legends in their own right.
