The Platters were one of the world’s most successful vocal groups during the 1950s, with thirty-five hit records in The States alone, of which seven or eight were million sellers, including four US #1s.

The lead singer on all of these was the mercurial TONY WILLIAMS, a man with a perfect voice.

Williams also occasionally cut solo records during the 50s and he eventually quit The Platters in 1961 to pursue a solo career, signing with Frank Sinatra’s new Reprise label, for whom he debuted with an LP, ‘Tony Williams Sings His Greatest Hits’ and a couple of singles, ‘Sleepless Nights’ and ‘The Miracle’.
