The Platters

The Platters are an influential American vocal group formed in 1952, recognized as one of the most successful acts of the early rock and roll era. With their unique sound that blends traditional Tin Pan Alley styles and emerging rock influences, they achieved notable success with 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 from 1955 to 1967, including four number-one hits. Their classic lineup included Tony Williams, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990, the group has continued to perform globally, though various legal disputes over the group's name have led to multiple touring versions over the years.
