Stars twinkle brighter and love blossoms faster whenever The Platters are playing. Despite multiple lineup changes, the Los Angeles vocal group's caramel-coated harmonies remained a constant, soundtracking romance through the '50s and beyond. The sparkling strings and vibrato crooning of “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” and vamping piano and swelling backup vocals of “The Great Pretender” immediately conjure images of tail fins and malt shops, while the swishy beat of “Twilight Time” and call-and-response interplay of “My Prayer” anticipate the heat and passion of early rock ‘n' roll.
