The Platters Return to Adelaide
One of the world’s most loved and successful vocal groups, The Platters, will return to Adelaide for the first time in many years for two performances only at The Regal Theatre 275 Kensington Road, Kensington, Adelaide on 22 and 23 November at 8.00pm.
The Platters were one of the most successful vocal groups of the early rock and roll era. Their distinctive sound was a bridge between the pre-rock Tin Pan Alley tradition and the burgeoning new genre. The act went through several personnel changes, with the most successful incarnation comprising lead tenor Tony Williams, David Lynch, Paul Robi, Herb Reed, and Zola Taylor. The group had forty charting singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart between 1955 and 1967, including four number 1 hits.
The Platters will perform their great hits including The Great Pretender, Smoke gets in your Eyes; My Prayer; Only You, Remember When; Twilight Time and a rendition of The Prayer by opera trained Platters member Monroe Powell.
