Twilight Time! (The Platters) + Other Great Artist! HD (1944 - 1958) Song List Below Video!

Back in 1968 and 1969, I was part of the leadership for a group called Young Life, which took 300 high school students on a month-long Western Tour from North Carolina to California. One of my favorite tricks was using an onboard record player connected to the speakers of one of our six buses to lull the kids to sleep. I’d start by playing their favorite songs, then transition to a track by The Platters, eventually introducing them to music like what’s featured in this video. Not only did it help them drift off during our overnight trips, but it also gave them an appreciation for truly great music - it’s called music education!

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. The group had 40 charting singles on the Billboard Hot 100 between 1955 and 1967, including four number-one hits. In 1990, the Platters were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
