The Platters – Going Back To Detroit

The Platters are an American vocal group formed in 1952.
They are one of the most successful vocal groups of the
early rock and roll era. Their distinctive sound bridges
the pre-rock Tin Pan Alley tradition and the new burgeoning
genre. The act has gone through multiple line-ups over
the years, earning it the branding tag "Many Voices One Name",
with the most successful incarnation comprising lead tenor
Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, founder and naming
member Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor.
