The Platters Smoke Gets In Your Eyes – 5 Original Albums 1959-1962 (2-CD)
In the 1950s when R&B vocal groups were a major commercial genre there was no other group as successful as The Platters. No other group enjoyed the same consistency of hits or the enviable crossover success, regularly placing hits on both the R&B and pop charts. The Platters also achieved far greater international fame than any other R&B vocal group of their era. This superb double-disc gathers all the tracks from five original Platters LPs originally released between 1959 and 1962. The featured albums are Remember When, Reflections, Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries, Encore of Broadway and Song for the Lonely. These albums include 12 charting hit singles including Red Sails in the Sunset, If I Didn’t Care, Remember When, and Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. The accompanying booklet includes fully detailed liner notes covering their career.
